Remember, if you have to cut a peice. Measure twice, cut once.

If you cut it to short, there is no such thing as a plastic stretcher. Banged Head [banghead]

Another from Trek "Ya' cannot change the laws of physics!" spoken by the perpetual tail sitter that mocks all the nose weight you give it.

"This is highly illogical" spoken by anyone who ever had a questionable or vague instruction sheet.

"The primary injectors have gone off line" Those with a tempermental airbrush or spray can know ALL about that one.

The desire to build is directly inversely proportional to the time available.

The perfect reference becomes available after completion and shows you something is wrong.

No matter how many pairs of pants you have that match a paint, that paint will never spill on them the opposite however will.

The brush, paint, part.. you want is always on the bottom.

A sale always comes after you visit.

And a few good Trek quotes that apply:
More is good, all is better.

Free advice is seldom cheap.

When one tears through the vac bag, one must have an inhailer that's not exhausted. A small part will only jump off the bench when painted a shade that blends with carpet below. They jump! I know this to be true because we would not drop them. They do it on purpose to try our patience.

Read not the instructions once, but twice.

If it works, it will be discussed on the FSM forums. If it doesn't work, well, sucks to be you!

Scales go, people lose interest, model companies open, LHSs close, but FSM is eternal.

I model therefore I am!

As Rene Descart would no doubt have said.

or

'To model, is to validate'

As I am sure Kirkegard would have said that if he modelled.

Looks like some good ones so far.

You can attract more super glue with styrene and skin than with styrene alone

The #11 blade is a stealthy and cunning workbench predator. Watch your fingers.

The paint rack at the local hobby shop is huge, but its mostly different grays. If you are a modeler of modern military aircraft, its still a rainbow.
