Modeling heaven and modeling hell.

[parsifal]

Heaven _ getting the model 90% finished and no major stuff ups.

Hell. Always without fail, that last 10% of the build.

 

[Rogi]

I guess for Kits and PE it would be

Heaven- Having the kit and Photoetch match perfectly

Hell- 1. Having just the PE but no kit :O (or vice versa) only finding one or the other when you traded or sold it 2. PE not matching properly to a kit it was designed for


Canopies I could go on pages for heaven and hell so I won't go there for now hehehe.

Heaven 1: Find by accident, at a great price, the kit that you've wanted for ages...
Heaven 2: Find pics, plenty of info (code and serial etc., etc.) of a kit that you'd really like to build...

Hell 1: No Heaven 1 or 2...
Hell 2: Being too tired from work, to be able to build...
Hell 3: One month after you've finished your project, it's released, in the version that you've just done, as injection model...
Hell 4: That famous *ping* part just disappear, with no other noise, as if sucked into a parallel universe...

heaven, finding 4 of the same kit on e-bay that you have been wanting for a while.

hell, all 4 go for far more than you are willing to pay !

What are you looking for Karl?

never a more true word has been spoken

What are you looking for Karl?

1/48 Buccaneer, was 4 on eBay all Airfix all went for over £30 + £7.50 postage.

Didn't want to pay that much for an old kit that is quite difficult to build !

Hope rumours of kittyhawk bringing out a new tool version come true.

 

[Airframes]

Yep, those Buccs went for big bucks - I was 'watching' a couple on Karl's behalf. It'll be good to see a new kit that fits properly - I still have the shudders when I remember my (still not quite finished!) build.

You really don't need that headache Karl....after Terry's on going battle with one...

probably not !
though i would like one to add to my line up of major RAF types in Grey/Green cammo !

 

[parsifal]

thus far i think the 'ping" of lost parts at the critical moment is getting the most support

makes us all just a bunch of "losers" (literally) I guess

 

[Lucky13]

There should be a support group!

 

[beitou]

Or a helpline, at premium rates of course.

 

[Airframes]

Maybe the problem could be solved by making 'pingable' parts smell of bacon ................. could track them down easier then !

 

[beitou]

Or the dog could get to them quicker.

 

[Airframes]

If I had a dog, and it got there quicker, it would be a was dog !

heaven, getting my workbench back in a week or so !


hell, trying to decide which kit to build first, keep changing my mind every five minutes !!!!!

 

[Airframes]

Jaguar Karl. Or maybe the Javelin ... no, make it the Jaguar. But then there's always the Hawk ......

Jaguar Karl. Or maybe the Javelin ... no, make it the Jaguar. But then there's always the Hawk ......

Lightning, Hunter, Tornado....... oh wait the Vampire !!!!!

then there is always the WW2 stuff, RAF P-47's, P-51, Hurricanes, Spitfires, Wicks 109's !

plastic temptress why do you tease me so ????

 

[Lucky13]

Make a poll, whatever we vote for, you'll have to build!
