I had a good laugh at Steve Hagues page about 'What Flavour of Modeller are You?'in Jan/Feb 2015 IPMSUK Mag. Here are a couple more for the melting pot.
'The David Bailey Modeller'...Does not actually build anything, but amasses thousands of digital pictures of models instead. In the days of film, activities were somewhat more curtailed due to considerable costs of film developing at a photo finishing lab. Usually found lurking around competition areas at various modelling shows, precariously holding one handed about 3 kilos of Digital SLR Camera with a whopping lens attached and trying to hold a bounce flash reflector in the other hand. These individuals constitute a devastating crush risk to models on the table if the camera is dropped, and collateral personal injury risk to other modellers with back packs, tripods etc.
'The Miffed Modeller Pot Hunter'... This type of modeller is a complete and utter egotist. Generally a very competent modeller but their only interest is winning competitions no matter what. A total nerd with a library of reference material that would put a top university to shame. Will enter any competition from SMW to a local village hall in order to win a prize. Seeks adulation from their peers and unwilling to share any techniques with other modellers lest they become better than them. Becomes paranoid when beaten, often verbally trashing the model of the winner, and even questioning the parentage of the judges. Reputation soon gets about and their peers start to avoid eye contact them so as not to have to listen to their boring opinions, moans and tirades. Not the sort of modeller you would wish to be cornered by.

Excellent! (We need a "thumbs-up" emoticon, unless I missed it)
