Trumpeter Bismarck 1/200 & Pontos advanced upgrade

What caused you to get hooked on it?

I found that the intense concentration focused my mind and made me relax, forget about life, the universe and everything.

Also the pleasure in getting those tiny, almost impossible, bits to fit together helps. Pantherman

The problem is that it's all the little bit's that take the time. Pantherman

The USS IOWA is almost four ft. long, and the Pontos pieces are so tiny......it took me awhile to wrap my head around the fact I was building the largest model I ever built while using the smallest parts I ever dealt with.

I have that very same feeling. PM

Yep I'm enjoying watching the build progress along and with your PE endeavors. That fire hose thing was so small I immediately wrote a song. It's titled; Hell Nah, to the Nah, Nah..

That's interesting because that was what hooked me on modeling a year ago. I've found as I progressed I lost that therapeutic effect and have been toying with different ideas to get it back. I've tried doing kits outside my usual- biplanes, the ww1 armor, ships has helped gain some of that back. I was also considering trying more 1/72 kits as they're so small and tedious- kind of like the PE you are doing. I'll have to add PE to my list of things to try to get this benefit back.
