    Plastic scale modelling.

    Trust me, it gets deep and expensive. The almost irresistible desire to increase the size of one’s “stash” by buying models you’ll never get around to building. The need to have the exact shade of paint used on a 1942 tropical BF109. The need for at least 3 airbrushes. The obsession with the tools.

    HELP!

    But it’s really quite enjoyable and once you accept that if what you’ve built gives you pleasure and that you’re happy with it, you’ve got it beat.

      Hey, do you happen to know any scale modeling communities on lemmy? I joined a few already, but maybe you have some more

        I’m afraid not. Tbh, my main sources of inspiration are YouTube channels. There are also many Facebook groups dedicated to scale modelling, some of which don’t even count rivets! 😀
