Glue It Together

Here come old Jeff. He come crawling up slowly
He got Horton wingnuts. He's one spinelss MOJO
He got parts hanging from his trees
Got to be a joker he just do what she please

Build me! Build me! Build me!

She wears his makeup she's got shoe collection
She shoots poison arrows she one walnut cracker
She say "I can spend, you can-not"
One thing I can tell you is it better be free
Glue it together right now, if its free.

Build me! Build me! Build me!

He buy Ebay specials he got coupon cutters 
He's got Hammer's wallet he's one spineless bagger
He's got Horton blinders and that's all he sees
Holds it in his hands to feel the weight of the trees 
Glue it together right now, if its free.

He's one dry-brushing MOHO he wants vacu-forming
He's got muddy washes he's one cloudy filter
He say "Two and Two and Nine 'aint free"
Got to be a good shopper cause the kit it 'aint free
Glue it together right now over me.

Build me! Build me! Build me!

MeeeOwwww!

Impressive...and very nice. Consider copywriting this; there may be an ambitious group of fellows from....oh, I don't know, Liverpool maybe.....who'd want to rearrange the words and call it their own.....

All the Forum's indeed a stage, and we are merely builders

Oh, Dora

(after Wild Horses with apologies to Keith and Mick)

Waitng for Dora was so hard for me

The railgun I wanted, I bought it for me.

Six foot cannon on a rail stand,

Can’t hold this model in both my hands.

Oh, Dora, I can’t finish today;

Oh, my Dora, I build you some day.

 

You watched me suffer sharp aching pains,

Blades cut my fingers again and again.

No open seams and hard to fit parts

Could make me feel bitter or break my heart.

Oh, Dora, I can’t finish today.

Oh, my Dora, I build you some day.

 

I know I dreamed at  AMPS you’d win gold,

But I can’t complete you 'til I get old.

Tracks have been broken, tears must be cried.

I’ll do some living and put you aside

Oh, Dora, I can’t finish today.

Oh, my Dora, I build you some day.

Oh, Dora, can’t finish today.

Oh, my Dora, I complete you some day.

 

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Paint It Gray

(More apologies to Keith and Mick)

I see a green tank and I want it painted gray

No olive anymore I want them to be gray

I see a tank roll by in MERDC

I have to turn my head until it goes by me

 

I see a line of trucks and they’re all painted gray

With guns and rockets each in a shade of gray

I see people turn their heads they’re all dressed in gray

Like a new born baby it just happens eve’ry day

 

No more will my green sea turn a deeper blue

I want no color but a grayish hue

If I pray hard enough to the rising moon

I'll get more gray paint here before noon.

 

I look inside myself and see my heart is gray

I see my Sherman that I just painted gray

Maybe now I’ll paint eveything just in my own way

It’s so easy painting stuff when it’s just simply gray

 

I see a green tank and I want to paint it  gray

No olive anymore I want them to be gray

I see a tank roll by in MERDC

I have to turn my head until it goes by me

 

Hmmm,hmmm,hmmm

 

I wanna see it painted gray, painted gray

Gray as clouds , gray as rain

I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted gray

Yeah!

 

Hmmm,hmmm,hmmm

 

 

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

BRAVO! 
Another early Beatles classic before the rewrite:

Oh yeah, I´ll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When he says that's something
I wanna hold your Wing
I wanna hold your Wing
I wanna hold your Wing
Oh, please, Jeff says to me
Let me hold your Wing
And please, say to me

You'll let me hold your Wing
Now let me hold your Wing
I wanna hold your Wing

And when I touch sprue i feel happy, inside
It's such a feeling
That from his wife
Jeff can't hide
Jeff can't hide
Jeff can't hide

Yeah Jeff, got that something
I think we all understand
When he says to someone
I wanna hold your Wing
I wanna hold your Wing
I wanna hold your Wing

And when I touch sprue I feel happy, inside
It's such a feeling
That from his wife
He can't hide
He can't hide
He can't hide

Yeah Jeff, got that something
I think we all understand
When he says to someone
I wanna hold your Wing
I wanna hold your Wing
I wanna hold your Wing
I wanna hold your Ho-or-ton!

Picture yourself in a thread on a forum
With olive-drab tanks and a rubber-spine device
Somebody calls you, "MOJO", you answer quite slowly
A girl with an optivisor eye

Celluclay flowers of yellow and green
Priced waaaaaaaaaay over your head
Look for the girl with $229 in her purse
And she's gone

Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Aaaaaah

Follow Jeff down to a bar by the mall
Where mocking people give him the eye
Everyone smiles as he walks by your stash  
That grows so incredibly high

Plastistrut Zuihos appear on the shore
Waiting to take Jeff away
Climb on the deck with his head in her ***
And he's gone

Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Aaaaaah

Picture yourself in a courtyard dio
With resin-wheeled wagons and cat-hair for hay
Suddenly someone is there at the corner
The girl that will blow Jeff away

Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Horton in the sky with rhinestones
Aaaaaah
Horton in the sky with diamonds
Horton in the sky with diamonds
Horton in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Horton in the sky with diamonds
Horton in the sky with diamonds
Horton in the sky with diamonds...

Nah, the last two pretty much suck.

Thanks, here's another one for you to suck on:

Hey Jeff, don't make it bad
Take a Horton and build it better
Remember to get her off of your back
Then you can begin to build it better

Hey Jeff, don't be afraid
It was made for you to go out and buy it
The minute you get  her out of your spine
Then you begin to build it better

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jeff, refrain
Don't carry the wing upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who pays full price
By building his stash through express mail-order
Na na na, na na, na na na na

Hey Jeff, don't let me down
You have found it, now go and buy it
Remember to get her outta your spine
Then you can start to build it better

So let her out and not back in, hey Jeff, begin
You're waiting for RLM76 on back-order
But don't know that light-blue will do? Hey Jeff, it'll do
The references you need are on the table
Na na na, na na, na na na na, yeah

Hey Jeff, don't build it bad
Take a bad kit and build it better
Remember to keep her outta your spine 
Then you begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, oh!

Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jeff
Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jeff

Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jeff
Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jeff

"We Won't Get Fooled Again" also known as, "We Won't Pre-Order Again"

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our I-20's under our feet 
And the model that we worshiped will be gone
It was Lindberg who spurred us on
We sat in judgment of all its wrongs
But they turned a deaf ear and released it anyway 

I'll tip my hat to the new Hasegawa
Take a bow for the new Tami-WOW-A
Smile and grin at the reviews all around me
Pick up my air-brush and spray
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my bench and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again

Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We all pre-ordered and took the fall 
But the mold looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the box-art and ads, they're all lame

I'll tip my hat to the new Hasegawa
Take a bow for the new Tami-WOW-A
Smile and grin at the reviews all around me
Get my toy sub and play 
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my bench and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move my hopes and my anticipation to the side
If we happen to be left to decide
I'll get all my refs and smile at the sky
For I know that the manufacturers never lie

Do ya?


There's nothing on the shelves
Looks any different to me
And the re-boxings are placed, by-the-bye
And the hull its too wide 
And now the hatches are too high
And the lines waiting for a decent sub have grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new Hasegawa
Take a bow for the new Tami-WOW-A
Smile and grin at the reviews all around me
Sit in the bathtub and play 
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my bench and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

  •  With apologies to Prince: This song's called "$19.99."

Went to my local hobby shop just to buy some paint and glue                                                                                  Wasn't really going to buy another model too.                                                                                                        , Ooo, then I saw this Hasegawa Lockheed P-3C                                                                                                         But when I picked it up, I saw how much it would be!

That kit is forty-zero-zero, too expensive OOPS! Ain't got a dime!                                                                               So I'm gonna wait and buy it when it's $19.99.

I went down another aisle just to see what I could see what                                                                                  There I saw a model kit that greatly appealed to me.                                                                                                  A A Tamiya 1/35-scale Sherman Tank                                                                                                                               But when I saw how much it cost, well you know my heart just sank!

That kit is fifty-zero-zero, too expensive OOPS! Ain't got a dime!                                                                               So I'm gonna wait and buy it when it's $19.99.

Went to another hobby shop and guess what I saw in there! 

A USS Enterprise aircraft carrier                                                                                                                                        In 1/350 scale! You know that kit was really nice                                                                                                           And I was gonna take it home and build it, then I saw the price!

That kit's two hundred-zero-zero, too expensive OOPS! Ain't got a dime!                                                               So I'm gonna wait and buy it when it's $19.99.

That's kit's two hundred-zero-zero, too expensive OOPS! Ain't got a dime!                                                             So I'm gonna wait and buy it when it's $19.99.

Forgive the sloppy editing. I cannot get the computer to edit this properly and I tried about three times! Perhaps somebody else can redo it properly; this stupid computer refuses to cooperate!Bang HeadCrying

Doldrums Prison

 

I hear the UPS truck a-comin', it's rollin' 'round the bend-

I've been waitin' on my order since,

I don't know when, Yeah I'm stuck at my build table,

with no new kit to do, but the UPS truck keeps on rollin',

another house or two.

 

When I was a younger builder, I'd do them one by one-

Right straight outta the box man, yeah it was all for fun-

But then I got some PE and resin, just to make the other modelers sigh-

Now when I don't get my Blue Ribbon, I hang my head and cry.

 

I'm lookin' in my stash pile, surely there's something there for me-

After all I've been accumulating it since 1983.

Oh I said that I would build them, that's what I tell myself-

But as the years go by my closet space fills faster than my shelves.

 

Yeah I'm stuck at my build table, staring blankly at the wall-

The wife and kids are yacking 'bout somethin'-

Perhaps yet another trip to the mall?

 

I'm tryin' to come up with a project,

Something to wow all my Forum friends-

I haven't posted any builds for months now-

Oh well, I guess it's back to "Odds and Ends".

"G-girl", hummed to the Beatles, "Something"...

Something in the way she glues,
Attracts me like no other modeler.
Something in the way she pulls sprue.
I don't want to leave the bench,
You know I believe she's French.

Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other model.
Something in her stash that shows me.
I don't want to leave the bench,
You know I believe she's French.

You're asking me will my stash grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
Stick around, and it may grow,
But I don't know, I don't know.

Something in the way she glues,
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the wing she shows me.
I don't want to leave the bench now.
You know I believe and how.

'Cover of the GSM'

 

Well we are all model crafters, we have stashes to the rafters and we're praised everywhere we post-

We build in Armor and we build in Aircraft, and we fight about which is done most.

Yeah we do all kinds of builds that give us all kinds of thrills, but the thrill we've never known-

Is the thrill that'll get'cha when your build is pictured on the cover of the GSM

 

Geeeee Essssssssss Emmmmmmmm,

Wanna see my build on the cover,

Geeeee Esssssssss Emmmmmmmm,

Gonna buy 5 cpoies for my Mother,

Geeeee Esssssssss Emmmmmmm,

I wanna see my finest build on the cover of the GSM

 

I've got a freaky old kit that was an E-Bay find, that has stumped the whole forum crowd.

All those poor old grey haired builders, they don't know what's 'a comin' from me now.

Now it's all designed, to blow their minds but their minds won't really be blown-

Until the Postman comes and their dreams are undone by seein' my work on the once year GSM.

 

Geeeeeee Esssssssssss Emmmmmmmmmmm

Wanna see my build on the cover,

Geeeeeeee Esssssssss Emmmmmmmmmmmm,

Gonna buy 5 copies for my Mother,

Geeeeeeee Esssssssssss Emmmmmmmmmm,

I wanna see my finest build on the cover of the GSM.

 

I've got a lot of little teenage, newbie groupies, who hang on every pic I post,

I've got article after article published, tryin' to teach the guys how give their most.

I've got all the tools and AM that money can buy, and with the forums I'm never alone,

but while my build collection gets fatter, I'll never be happy,

'till one makes it to the cover of the GSM

 

Geeeeeeee Essssssssss Emmmmmmmmm,

Wanna see my build on the cover,

Geeeeeeeee Esssssssss Emmmmmmmmmm,

Gonna buy 5 copies for my Mother,

Geeeeeeee Essssssssssss Emmmmmmmmmm,

I wanna see my finest build on the cover of the GSM.

Here's my try:

ON THE SPRUE

Someone told me

It’s all about the sprue.

I do believe it,

I do believe it’s true

My light’s own and my hand trembles so,

From the cutting of the sprue,

Just a fine clean cut

From the sprue,

But you can take a scapel,

If you are being  so bold,

And the plastic will let you cut through,

If you do.

Somethin’ tells me

It’s all happening with the sprue.

The cutters cut so cleanly,

Leaving hardly a bump,

No I can’t find what I am looking for,

Its so dumb

It makes me so skeptical,

Of which part that I need to cut,

And I get impatient on what else to do.

Somethin’ tells me

It’s all happening with the sprue.

I fumble hard with the tools ,

Almost hacking up the part,

And slicing it off in two,

Will I cut my fingers off too!

What a blast! You gotta come and see,

What’s on the sprue.

Nope, nothing against Sprue Brothers, just the sprue trees  from which our models are born.

A Day in the Life (of a Forum Modeler)

I cut some sprue today oh boy
Read about lucky man who won a badge 
And though the badge was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw his avatar
She had his spine in a jar
He didn't notice that the price had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the 229 thread.

I saw a post today oh boy
Vance Crozier had just won the award
A crowd of MOJO's turned away
but I just had to post
Having made the most
Of a courtyard ghost

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a cat across my head                                                                                                                                  Found my way downstairs and put on a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my cat
Built the wing in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and heard a joke,
and somebody spoke and I went into the screen

I cut some sprue today oh boy
Four thousand holes in my Lancaster 
And though the holes were rather small
I had to fill them all
Now I know how many holes it takes to fill the Lindberg sub.
I'd love to spur you on

With all due respect to the lads from Liverpool, and my respect for them is considerable, I'm throwing a parody bone to some gentlemen from Canada:

Forums

Living at the model bench, I build for my desire

To post up my entire

Review of all the work I’ve done this year for all my buds to see

 

Living in the glaring lense of Manstein and von Hammer

I dare not court their favor

I know my work is my reward if the wife doesn’t know what it cost

 

Living on the Forums, the model builder’s dream

For those who click to see

Group builds and WIP’s

Can’t get enough plastic saturation

But back to the bench without hesitation

The Flying Eyeball and Horton 229 are there

 

Living in this cyberspace, where plastic is so sacred

And new threads are created

To ask and tell and pic and nit and “What’s Your Favorite Show?”

 

All the Forum’s indeed a stage, and we are merely builders

We post while CA cures

Each another’s audience inside Aaron’s guilded cage

 

Living on the Forums, the model builder’s dream

For those who click to see

Group builds and WIP’s

Can’t get enough plastic saturation

But back to the bench without hesitation

The Flying Eyeball and Horton 229 are there

 

(hint: ‘Limelight’ from Rush)

Imagine there's no Dragon
It's easy if you try
No Hasegawa below us
Above us only Esci
Imagine all the people
Living for each piece

Imagine there's no Eduard
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to bend or fold for
And no instructions too
Imagine all the people
Building models from scratch

You may say that I'm a modeler
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the Forum will be as one

Imagine there's no stashes
I wonder if you can
No need for kits or AM
A brotherhood of spam
Imagine all the modelers
Sharing all their refs

You may say that I'm a modeler
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the Forum will live as one

Tenax bottles, and plastic cars
Sprue tree you're in my way
There's too much paint and too much glue
Look whats going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of plastic surrounds you

Your wife's intuition is upon you
She stuck a needle in your spine
So here's another joke, take some advice from your MOJO's
One more scolding will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of her perfume surrounds you

Now they call you Von Manstein
Cant understand a word when you post
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of cats surrounds you

Hey, youre a fool you
Pull that sprue when its warm
I know I been there before

One little problem that confronts you
'Aint got a spine in your back
Just one more $229 kit, lord might do the trick
One heck of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of $229 surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of $229 surrounds you

With apologies to Neil Young....

There's colors on the wings
greens greys and blues
People cutting decal sheets
People stretching their sprues
But there's a caution sign
on the instructions ahead
There's a lot of people asking
"what's the best oxide red?"
Don't feel like sanding
that nasty seam
So I try to forget it
and just paint it green

Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world

I saw a guy last night
Tamiya Panther-A in his hand
under an old worklight
using a Testors spray can
Now he's thrown the kit away
and he's got the ***ts
He hated the paintjob
and how he weathered it
That's one more kit
that's so old school
no matter what you do
it'll never be cool

Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world

We got a thousand spots of paint
for the oil-dot man
got a kinder gentler thinner on hand
Went to the department store
no models to be seen
My LHS has run out of olive green
A guy on the forum
says there's some in the next town
but when I get there
they're out of red-brown

Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world
Keep on modelling in the free world
