We should open a psychic hot-line. [:O]
[:)] …or perhaps a psychotic hot line.
LOL… TRUE! Clearly, I am crazy to invest all this time in a model. [8-)]
That sounds promising Bakster.
Sometimes it honestly feels like I could work on a model or hit myself in the forehead repeatly with a claw hammer- both are about as productive and entertaining…
I spent Friday and Sat last week cleaning up, painting, and attaching three tow cables to two tank kits. Two friggin’ days to get three friggin’ cables put together and attached!!!
Egads Cliff, I feel your pain on that. It’s a total time suck. I guess the choice boils down to a claw hammer to the head or – a finished model that you can say–I built that? But then. What if you spend all the time building a model and in the end–it sucks! I really hate when that happens.
Lol
Yes. Hope lives to reign another day.
Or I could have a really cool looking forehead scar…
I could pick up sleezy women at a bar by telling them I got it headbutting a Sasquatch.
Hey! I think that might work! Everyone knows Sasquatch is real and you don’t mess with them. Would you mind if I steal that idea and see if it works?
Or maybe I should headbutt a real Sasquatch. Then I’d really have something to tell.
The plastic ones are pretty wretched, unless you are working with the soft fiber cord ones. Which are both too floppy, and look horrible (and paint worse).
Stranded metal wire out to be the standard, but finding strands even close to scale is an issue. 6" to scale cable with 1" strands just does’t look right to my eve.
I’d rather take on space monkeys.
Let me send you Aquaman to retrofit instead… [|-)]
Sure! If you can find a Sasquatch you have my blessing to head-butt him.
Of course once you head-butt him he’ll probably turn around the beat the [cnsod] out of you. [:XX]
That’s why I say I’d claim that I head-butted him, not that I’d actually do it… [:P]
Actually they weren’t that bad, they provided the wire parts. Only the wire was bigger than the holes in the cable ends. So I had to carefully cut the ends of the wire to try to get them to fit. And it wasn’t just the cables, lots of little stuff that somehow I’d missed.
Just annoying, I’d figured it’d take me about an hour or so and it stretched to two days…
Um–yeah. Probably worse. Bigfoot just can’t take a joke.
Well if you want to go around punching out cryptids you might want to start with a small one like a Chupacabra and work your way up… [;)]
Lol. Or an Alien Grey. They have big heads and scrawny necks.
Nice allusion. Of course, me too from time to time.
I have this new dog that chews everything. Might not be the look you are going for, but, it would be cheap.
She chewed through my Cat5 cable today, so, I was under-amused.
Oh no. Sorry to hear that Capn. New dogs are a definite exersize in patience.
Well, she’s bitten the cords of two Dremels, some golf stuff in the garage, the back of a leather sofa, and all with suitable chew toys available.
She had a treat-filled kong, and a chew toy in reach when she decided the Cat5 needed biting. Sigh. And, I discovered this three hours after the fact (visit to retina doc in between), so I was angry, but couldn’t punish her for something she litteraly would not be able to remember. Sigh.
She’s presently sleeping on my foot ignoring the thunderstorms outside (it’s been raining since sunset yesterday, around 5-6 inches so far). She’s a bit worn out from loud thunder and heavy rain (and the sprinkle of hail on the window).
C’est la vie avec chenes.
Sleeping like she’s in a hibernation container instead of Aquaman
