The carpet monster

I was building a 1/24 1963 Corvette and somehow lost one of the wheel spinners, which is ridiculously tiny. Then I lost another one. Then I found the first one, but not the second, although I scoured my workbench and every inch of the floor. So I ended up using one spinner I had to press into a piece of Sculpey, then poured resin into it to make a replacement. I'd just finished painting it silver when I lifted a box on the workbench, and there was the missing spinner. I think I have a model poltergeist.

Hi :

      I save myself the trouble of getting off my chair . I have a high intensity flashlight . When I drop a part and hear it hit the floor , out it comes . 95% recovery rate so far .

Now as far as parts and P.E flying out of the twizzers and going somewhere , this is so true . Found a carefully folded , ready to mount ship's ladder in the cat's food dish .( she prefers dry food ) when It went flying last week .

    I wondered why she was seeking attention .She just wanted the durned thing out of her food ! I guess I would too ! LOL.LOL. The idea of clipping all the parts off and throwing them out won't work .The Monster only wants the part you specifically need at that time . None but that ! !

 Beware , it will succeed beyond your wildest dreams . Pulled up the carpet in my room and you should've seen the parts I found , intact , in the traffic area ! ! and they were okay . The contractor couldn't figure out why I was so slow pulling up that carpet and not letting his crew do it .

 Would you believe the tailight ( left side ) for my 55 Chevy model ? I scrounged another and gave that kit , built , away over two years ago . So now you know . It will getchya !  T.B.

Love these stories about the carpet monster! Great entertainment and humor! I don't have to read anything else because this forum is so cool. I work in an unfinished old cellar so I have to deal with : The Concrete Creature . And you guys think you have it tough!
