Hi All;

We at The Institute have been broadening our research into AMS and have diagnosed another, sometimes related, concerning modelling syndrome. I am talking here about Compulsive Model Acquisition Syndrome (CMAS). We have found some modellers will compulsively acquire kits at a pace they can never hope to keep up with in terms of their building rate.

CMAS may be responsible for broken homes, delinquincy, alcoholism, transience, Saddam Hussein, the Kangaroo plague; as well as other numerous social problems.

We at The Glencoe Institute would like to hear from other modellers about their thoughts and experiences of this disorder.

I wonder if Dr Stephen has any thoughts/research he'd like to contribute on this little known Obessive/Compulsive Disorder?

Now, will you all excuse me while I mount an expedition to the inside of my model cupboard. I'm sure I saw last week an ancient missing Japanese Soldier who doesn't know the war is over hiding behind my Roden stack.....

All the Best
