I really like the thrill of competition and everything that has to do with voting for the best model on a table. I am not the best modeller in the world, God knows I still have a lot to learn but this hobby is about bettering yourself. If you lose one day and win on another, who cares. Unfortunately we have some people that only have one thing in mind and that is winning. I have met a lot of peolple in this hobby that when you are talking with them, everything you say does not matter but yet everything they have to say does. My mother always told me to listen more, speak less, people will like you more for that. What I really enjoy about this hobby is how far I have come and how much better I am doing now than say 5 or 7 years ago. I love to share my ideas as well as learn from so many talented individuals out there. I think that this is what it's all about, unfortunately you just have to work around some people but all in all I will not be bogged down with the negative side of this wonderful pastime. Now, who wants to go at it against me???? Double or nothing!!!!
