AMS, Advanced Modelers Syndrome. Symptoms include, (but are not limited to),
A compulsive need to cut apart perfectly good kits to "improve" them.
Spending hours researching tiny and remote details so they can be replicated in miniature, often in locations that will never be seen with the naked eye.
Discussions with other sufferers of the disease about better ways of replicating said items.
And boring friends, wives, and sometimes complete strangers with minutia concerning modeling.
