Really crappy modeling session last night...

[Jeeves]

Was carefully applying my first couple strips of Archer resin details to the outside of my bomber hull on the Verlinden figure...should have moved some of that care to the other things around me. Tipped over a full bottle of Micro Sol onto the other 80% of the Archer sheet...pretty much just threw $18 out the window on that one. Trying to decide if it's really worth another $18 just for a couple more rows of rivets...really fighting the urge to throw the whole lot out right now. Between this and the HPM pos Pe-2 I am ready to take a sabbatical...if it wasn't for the Spring Contest and trying to get my Sabre done for that, I'd be done...
:vmad :pinch: :angry:

Nah it will all turn for the better just hold on.

 

[AndyFettes]

yeah I did some stuff late last night when I should have been tucked up in bed and made a pigs ear of trying to fill a sink hole as I had run out of filler,.... :angry:

 

[Adam Baker]

Been there, done that. I knocked a bottle of solvaset onto a sheet of decals once, and have knocked the bottle over before just onto the desk, and it's always a struggle to not have a nuclear reaction from it.

I realized that I'm going to have to make a resin blank for that stupid bomb sight window in the 388- and vacuform a new one. At least i can use the plunge-molded prism-window in conjunction! The whole build is held hostage by that one damned part! :gogo

 

[kryptosdaddy]

I can't get motivated to begin an hour or so mask job so I can begin to finish the Intruder and I'm almost done! We all have out ups and downs here. :vmad

 

[Paulw]

yep, I'll vouch for that. lets seeeeee,unnnnnnn, a whole bottle of Tenax right after a whole bottled of acrylic flat after a whole bottle of alclad black base. yeah that was a good day. right after I stabbed my self in the ankle with a #11 blade. I took two hydrocodones and went to bed.

Model building; a fun and relaxing hobby. Teaches dexterity and patience

Unless of course you try and squeeze the blockage out of a full Andrea black mini bottle and the blockage decides to relieve itself all over the kitchen table ,..wall,..freezer ,..floor,..

I feel your pain bro -

I just spent 3 weeks on hand painted water effects, building up to a nice pure white for my uboat dio, and then 3 days ago used some clear over the top with a brush and must have picked up a bit of rust brown pigment, and have tainted all my work in a piss yellow color.

Back to the drawing board - at least a week to fix.

Then I snapped the forward rigging so I am rebuilding that as well - oh the joy

Ian.

Between this thread and Dave's accident thread I feel a little better . Still havent bit the bullet and ordered more Archer yet though...

Several years ago, I was building a car model fro an upcoming contest. The paint job was almost flawless and I was going polish it with some Tamiya Compound and a soft cloth. Tamiya puts their polishing compound in almost an identical tube that their putty comes in, I got hold of the wrong tube and smeared grey putty down the side of my new paint job! :pinch: There are still a few choice words hanging in space over the Iowa prairie! :laugh:

I feel your pain for knocking over that bottle - a simple cure for that (after years of practice!!) is a masonite square with a blob of blu tack on it - push your paint/liquid bottle onto the blu tac = no more knocked over bottles.
