Clearly modelling doesn't feature largely in your life, it's something you enjoy but can take or leave. Perhaps there is more to the hobby than you realise and you would enjoy delving further.
Mostly b's
You enjoy your modelling but it is part of a varied, balanced lifestyle. Well done.
Mostly c's
Perhaps there is more to life than the little plastic aeroplanes, however you should be applauded for your commitment.
