Yes a silly start . Okay I am guilty . Now down to tass bracks !
I was driving from the bank when it hit me . How many of us remember what we were thinking or doing the very day minutes before we laid down our hard earned cash for that special model now in our stash ? Yeah , I know , that's to much thinking . Is it ? What was really going through your mind ?
Were you thinking about the addition to your shelf of pride ? Or how you'd fare at the next contest with it ? or , if your not contest oriented , where were you going to put this example of your hard work and creativity ?
Funny , I remember exactly what I was thinking when I bought the Aoshima rendition of the Triton 3-3300 Research Sub . I was going to carefully assemble it , taking care on the colors and the assembly so it came out just so . Shoot , I'm not even done with the interior , and I bought it over six months ago !
Does this happen to you ? Now that asked , that day I was thinking , how nice it would be to get my car A/C repaired before summer. Naw , ain't happened yet . Or , how about this , I was thinking ,let's get all the hulls together for my Battle Group ( W.W. 2 style ). That's a lot of 1/350 hulls to have together all at once .
Nah , I'll work on the Dicker Max I won three years ago . Got the tracks on her ( Fruilmodel ) and that's as far as she got . Now I am working on a 1/43 Morris Mini . The Airfix kit I mentioned in another post .Yeah , I got the floor and bottom painted as well as the tires, and it now sits in the box as well .
That's funny too . In that same bunch of vendor models I got three different Vosper boats - Two P.T. boats and an Air / Sea rescue boat . All the hulls are assembled . I have a funny technique on Airfix's hulls .Because most , all are more than two pieces I assemble them , tape them to a board so they come out square and then piddle as the mood suits . One from a different purchase has the most well detailed torpedo tubes and launchers of any of my surface boats . Yeah , it's in the box now too .
Could the thing that ails us be akin to the disease that women get ? You know ," Not Enough Shoeitis ? " If you suffer from this thing I shall call " Not Enough Modelitis ? Let's hear your story . T.B.
