But we must keep in mind psychopathic and sociopathic behaviour patterns that may emerge.

Masochists, in particular, are drawn to IPMS Nationals. True to the course of this condition, modeller-masochists are driven to invest large amounts of time and money to create models for IPMS Nationals Judges to pick apart and criticize. It is indeed in this criticism that the modeller-masochist finds his pleasure. The more work, the pickier the criticisms and therefore the greater the pleasure at being destroyed by the Judges.

Sadists are almost never modellers themselves. They do like to congregate with modellers, and deliver lines such as:

"Yes, but you realize that it is really 1/74th."

"The fuselage is too deep/shallow."

"But of course your source got the colour scheme all wrong."

"You should have started with the [insert alternative brand] kit."
