Hi guys. I was wondering if any of you out there find that the hobby of building armour with all that goes into it such as collecting kits and aftermarket stuff and nice reference (read expensive) books, mags and surfing the net, I wonder if maybe it can get into a unhealthy fixation. Does it interfere with relationships, does it take away from other areas of one's healthy life. It is really quite a isolationist kind of activity. Does it keep me from pushing ahead with other areas of my career goals. These objects that I make take alot of my artistic energy and financal resourses and alot of time. And once, done they just sit there and collect dust. Should I sell my hard fought and won collection to maybe grow in other areas. Do I need to kick the habit?
