Why?

I hate models personally, but I guess I get the appeal if you really want something to feel like it's uniquely created through your effort. 3D printing is fun if you just want to airbrush/paint some shit and have it there in your room to look at, but there's never really a sense of value in something without some time spent on it.
And let's be real here, people go through the effort of putting together models specifically so they can fill the void of their empty lives by actively doing something besides staring at a screen or being seen in public. There's no reason to take shortcuts for them.
Gunpla look pretty good even without painting them and you don't need glue. Pick up the Entry Grade Nu Gundam or a Pokemon plamo and try it out. You don't even need a scalpel or nipper for the Entry Grade and pokemon kits. You just snap them out.
I really got into making bread last year. It felt pretty therapeutic, but dealing with the mess and trying to eat a whole loaf before it started getting stale just kinda wore me down.
Literally excellent taste anon. I hated spaghetti until I made my own to my preferred taste (pinch of extra spicy and salt in the sauce, bit of chopped bacon or gabagool in the meatballs)
I also love BBQ/grilling (St Lou MO local), just watch your time and temp and it's foolproof, plus you get to chill and have a drink in the meantime.

doxxing people and using their info for fun
A months ago I successfully infiltrated a private discord server of around 200 people for "traps" in my country
They were posting nudes of themselves without censoring their face while ERPing and setting up dates and posting their adresses
I kept sending the photos to their families without even trying to blackmail them
The reactions of their parents watching their son being a fruitcake on the internet was both hilarious and sad
I still haven't been caught despite being the only dude in the server to never talk and contribute to anything
No. I'm a NEET loser who does nothing all day except browse the interwebs and play videogames. I hate myself. I hate you. I hate everything. I will probably kill myself soon because my mom is getting old.
you had your entire twenties to fix your shit
I keep warning people like you all the time, but you subhumans never want to listen
Not acting so smug anymore about le funny wagie cagies huh?
my mom got me one of those model kits as a kid because she was concerned about me not having any hobbies and always staying at home watching tv, never acting happy etc.
I was really excited to do this model with my mom. she left for a minute to attend to something. in the meantime my older brother came along and wanted to help with the model by separating all the pieces from the frame in advance to building.
problem was that the frame had all the part IDs printed on it and separating the pieces meant you couldn't identify the pieces anymore and couldn't assemble the model anymore.
my mom was really disappointed because I was disappointed now too.
this has become a core memory for me.

>the frame had all the part IDs printed on it and separating the pieces meant you couldn't identify the pieces anymore and couldn't assemble the model anymore.
You clearly didn't have the stomach or resolve for assembly. If you did you would be able to figure it out with the pieces alone. Not to mention if you had the frame itself you could use the sizes of the missing pieces to get a hint.
You will never be a real mechanic. You were just a poser like those homosexuals who used to dress as skaters and smoke pot behind the school.
You get cheap model to train on (like 1/72 planes or tanks), synthetic brushes (they are the cheapest and you would ruin your first anyway), basic acrylic paints from hobby store (like Army Painter or whatever), any kind of palette (or piece of floor tile as replacement) and "just" paint, getting better from there but also knowing that first attempts will look like shit.
>how do I get into painting models?
A brush and some paint
Personally I was interested in airbrushing so I tried a cheap chinesium one (it was like 80 bucks for airbrush + compressor) and while I've only painted like 5 models so far, it has served me well (pic related, my current favourite).
I like to build scale models of cars(not very good at them.
I also like working on my alfa romeo shitbox(perks of being an european is cheap alfas) , maybe visiting occasional car meet.
I do also sometimes make cars in blender have an interest in firearms
like to read and started kinda getting into older tech(though mostly trough youtube)
I also like collecting physical vidiya and occasional car models.
Yeah I might be into cars.
Honestly, get a simple model, some paint(mainly black, grey, white and a colour or 2 you like) some glue and an xacto knife.
Start building.
Once you start getting competent, buy more difficult models, tools and paints
>wanted to get into model kit building >turns out you need paint, glue, scalpels, tweezers, brushes etc
Frick....
I like gunpla and I recently got into 40k, like the actual hobby, I got a thousand sons army but I got sick while working on the last Terminator and I've been procrastinating finishing it since
>zero articulation in design >100% cheaply made plastic >unpainted and left it its mold
Model gays really come up with the worst toys to ever exist.
Why don't you just 3d print your shitty plastic statues and paint those instead?
Better yet, get an actually good toy and paint it if the colors are what bothers you about premade plastic robot toys.
I can't imagine having a hobby equivalent to being a machine on a toy production line. So sad.
Nothing nearly as much as I play games. Recently I've been fiddling with music again. VCV Rack is really fun. And I've collected a bunch of instruments just to try them. Highly recommend checking out udu drums.
Otherwise I just find something to do and give it a shot. To see if it's for me.
I have hobbies like swimming and biking on a cheapo bike but like we don't even need to go away from gaming and you can already see it how people are more interested in buying hardware than actually playing the games. Same with bikes, I know people who bought multiple very expensive electric(lol) bikes and they barely use them. Then they also sell you all kind of accersories that just are completely fricking unnecessary if you just care about riding the fricking bike.
There's plenty of ways to get into hobbies without having to spend that much money. In fact, you'd think 3D printing would be a expensive, but I got into it at like $200 and I only spend around $25 on filament a month to do all kinds of shit. More importantly, it's actually been a bit of a "gateway" to being able to do all the stuff I've always wanted to but was too expensive or out of my depth for me to get into. I've learned how to airbrush, build electronics and solder, use CADs, 3D Sculpt, design circuit boards, get into carpentry (granted, I did have to get the wood from an old palette and someone's roadside garbage), build and learn a couple instruments I otherwise couldn't justify purchasing. Hell, I've been using DT-770s for roughly a decade, and right now I'm putting together my own headphones for around $38 with the same drivers you'd get in a $900 pair.
With all that, sincerely, the most I'll spend a month unless I'm buying a new piece of equipment is maybe around $40-$60 and I am not well off whatsoever.
The only thing that makes me sad is that I never had the opportunity to learn all this stuff much sooner because it's a real joy to just make shit.
>write bad music >make shit art >working on a book about medieval poetry >and a fiction work that my editor gave up on asking me to finish
There's so much time in the day when you don't have a femoid begging for attention.
Yeah, isolating yourself is, by far, the best way to become a "jack of all trades master of none". You'll pick up a new hobby every 2 weeks, get just good enough to say you aren't embarrassingly bad, then move onto some other thing and repeat that cycle over and over never crossing a threshold to say you actually have a talent. Whatever it takes to stave off the thoughts and make yourself feel momentarily productive, right? haha
>You'll pick up a new hobby every 2 weeks, get just good enough to say you aren't embarrassingly bad, then move onto some other thing and repeat that cycle
nta but that just sounds like ADD, not being alone.
Nothing wrong with wanting to try more things. Just consider gaming as a hobby. You have people who play one game for thousands of hours. Maybe get sick of it and look for one other game. Which they'll play for the next few years.
Then there's the other side of people playing lots of games. But not really caring about getting gud, grinding the the game or what have you. Just enjoying the variety.
I'm the latter in both video games and in general.
>bought a bunch of models >bought an airbrush, compressor, exhaust setup, the works >only then found out all the good modeling paint is banned in europe due to safety regulations
explains why it's a declining hobby here and everyone is painting miniatures instead
I want a cooler hobby. All the zoomers I work with are gear heads and have souped up cars they street race with. It must be a rich kid thing because I have no idea how they afford this stuff. A-a-tleast I own a house right.
Yeah, cars have always been an upper-middle class thing from my experience. Ironically, those are the people who complain the most about being "poor" once they get into the real world despite making nearly a quarter million a year as well.
Not really, sadly. I do draw but I don't do it often enough to really say it's a hobby. I should draw more - I should really do a bunch of stuff more - but I like playing videogames too much.
Not them, and it's impossible to talk about coffee without coming off like some pretentious douche, but coffee has more then twice as many flavor compounds as wine and you can really get into trying to make the perfect cup depending on all kinds of variables in how you make it. I've grown past my coffee phase and just drink the shit to get caffeine, but there's a whole little niche on internet that obsesses over treating coffee like an "art" if you look for it.
Some people like exploring various styles of a culinary practice as a hobby, like how some slice of life anime has those 'ramen connoisseurs' who go to different ramen shops and critique their broth, noodles, toppings etc. Or like recreational beer/wine tasters
Oh, and some of the worst of these people are the 'sushi experts' >THIS RICE IS CHEAP AND POORLY PACKED >TOO MUCH VINEGAR >YOU CALL THIS AHI? AND LOOK AT THE SHODDY CUT OF IT
Yeah that's how I actually got into pasta, I taste tested a few different brands of jarred sauce over a month (Raos is best but not cheap, Ragu sucks it's too sour, Prego or Classico for best value)
Variety is literally the spice of life, experiment sometimes
Get your hands on some Loyd Grossman bolognese sauce if you get the chance. Pretty sure we only call it that in the UK though, the name won't carry weight elsewhere. The Sundried Tomato and Basil stir-in sauce is divine
I feel like I've bought every snack at the asian grocers, and most of the arab ones. Tasting things is great fun.
Can't really get into buying food/ingredients though. Have no idea what to cook. If it's even translated properly.
I got into tea more than coffee. Feels like the variety in taste is a lot larger.
I read and write. I wrote a novel after 5 years and 6/7 top to bottom rewrites. I'm brainstorming ideas on my next project. I bought a Kindle for my birthday last year and it's fantastic.
i don't personally count playing video games hobby.
What about modding them ?

I've started learning 3d sculpting so I can print models of my own design
It's quite gratifying
Knife sharpening.
Photography and plastic models/miniatures.
Each as solitary as video games so no chance of finding friends that way, let alone girlfriend.
I collect erotic books.
What's your rarest one?
Not that much I suppose, I read a book once in a while and got into some occasional lego technic building. Vidya is still king.

Scale models are not Legos?

Yes, I played mixed tennis today with highschool girls.
I like cooking. I'm not good at it, and I hate cleaning up after it, but I like cooking.

how do I get into painting models? Fully painted models online costs upwards of 1500 dollars
