except for the fact that you have to travel to another place of the world to go for it... or you enter the wormhole? wait, i dont think thats a good idea... tell me, do you have tree arms or something like that if you entered there?

I have something similar to this. I call it a 'transmogrifier' It involves dropping a part into the wormhole only for it to turn up in a completely different place and in a different shape. Really good for creating lots of different detail bits.

The gods of the dimension were nice to me this morning I had a little piece of my ouragan forgotten on the assembly box after i had airbrushed them (last week). Apparently I thought it was well gone untill I tore apart the box for the bin..here it was hidden in the corner..wonder why i did not see it before!!!!

You're not imagining it. The entrance to the wormhole is unstable and its location
fluctuates frequently. Objects sometimes take hours or even days to travel through
the wormhole to the mirror universe. On rare occasions they will even return, but as
was noted, you must have already purchased or scratchbuilt a replacement.

I have it on good authority (my wife) that the Bermuda Triangle has an adjuct site located just under my workbench. Any part that strays from the bench winds up at your house. If you guys find the left main gear for my Academy B-17G, let it go to the light!

Oddly, I rarely have that problem with model parts, but when I was working at the plant nursery, my garden shears would be forever disappearing into oblivion! Or the hammer. Or the watering wand. Or the. . .

Now there is the related matter of sharp little pieces of wire disappearing into the other dimension, only to reappear in this world right under my bare foot!

So there I was, having just read these postings, crawling on the floor with flashlight in hand, looking for that shadow across the floor that just might resemble the cockpit seat of my Do17Z.
Does the resident spider have it already cocooned for dinner? nope.
Am I stepping or kneeling on it? Feeling no pain.
I KNOW it went THAT way when I last saw it.!!
Where did I find it??
Check your six. Yep, there he is.
(The really embarrasing point was that it took me even longer to find the cockpit floor to glue it onto, which of course, by then, I was sitting on)

May an Angel be your wingman, and the Sun be always at your six

Sometimes I wonder what is weirder. The fact that the parts disappear even though I never got up from the table. Angry [:(!]

or the places at the other end of the wormhole. One time I found the aft deck of a ship model in my FREEZER![:0] Mostly they don't come back at all. Let's see, Models, Beer, warm feet...and they say there is no heaven. Approve [^]

I wonder if Rod Serling was a model builder who is now jealous that he didn't live long enough to see all the improvements of the past couple of decades and is now collecting models one part at a time from a dimension not of sight or sound but of mind... Question [?]

I think there may be a little tiny lady on the other side saying " all small parts step into the light , the light is your friend".
believe it or not , I actually saved a part last week. It was a complete miracle! I was sitting on my Laz Eboy checking out the new 1/350 B-25 set I bought, when low and behold, a clear nose piece (the tiniest part of the kit) decided to journey into the bottomless pit in the back of my chair. After pulling out old Froot Loops and Coco Pebbels, I finally somehow snagged it with my fingers.So, whoever is collecting these small parts on the other side, your now short one B-25 nose canopy :)~

THIEF!! LoL, j/k!
But yes, I too, have noticed this parallel dimension, in fact, I have actually witnessed its occurence! I was building my 1/48 scale Bradley, right? Well, the metal rod connectiong the left drive wheel to the right one, needed to be insert in the kit, right? Well, I set it down, IN THE CENTER OF MY DESK, left my hobby room, came back a minute later, and IT WAS GONE! I saw the last little bit of get devoured by the parallel dimension, just out of the corner of my eye! The sight of that dimension, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! Like, an emptiness beyond all emptiness, a peaceful, serene, nothing...
I wasn't elated for long, though! The portal sealed right back up the moment I tried to reach through it and retrieve my drive wheel rod! So, I ended up making my rod out of a straightened paper clip, cut to size. My rod has not come back, and is probably floating in all that nothingness that is... THE BEERMODEL TriANKLE...

With size 15 feet you can put more than one or two beers per sock! Tongue [:P]

All those little gremlins sitting round a table swilling beer and seeing what they can scratchbuild with all these parts they have collected. One shouting that he needs the ABER gunsight from a 1/48 Focke Wulf. Plus it is obvious they need the socks to carry all the beer and parts back with them Big Smile [:D]
