                        Hey, at least it isn't carpeted!! Of course, maybe that means the pieces have bounced to who knows where!

                        Keep up your sense of humor, I don't think I would.

                        LOL!

                        I almost have an instinctive feel on where a part might land on the floor. Just a month ago I had a small part pop lose on the floor from a Pz IV I was building. After 5 minutes of searching I found it. I was laughing like hehe. Then as I was glueing it into place holding it with a tweezer and "FLING" it popped out and flew half way across the room, where I could never find it. I was so pissed.

                        Yes it is very good that is not carpet ,.... nothing worse than that insult to injury feeling of putting that lost PE detail in your bare foot at 2 or 3 AM in the morning and having to go to tha docs and explain to him what happened , he looks at you all dumbfounded saying to himself they pay neurosurgeons big bucks to do what you were attempting to do when you lost that little piece !

                        That's pretty good!

                        If you don't laugh you cry!

                        I should take a picture of where I work and call it "trouble brewing".
                        I work on the back verandah (porch) over a drainhole.

                        I know it is in inevitable that something disappears down there, but still I do nothing......

                        No carpet there by design, but I'm sure there's a some pieces in my Labrador's coat. I KNOW the benchmounted exhaust fan took care of a few.

                        Nick,
                        That's the cover of the manual issued to all Tiger crewman. That writing is so stylized I can't make out the letters and I had 12 years of German in school. As close as I can tell it says; 'Men, such a...(No idea of the last word), If anyone knows, please inform.
                        I was just testing out the link with the cover...the new sig is what I wanted to put there. It's the range charts they had to fight Shermans. The caption says 'Keep the Sherman off the cloverleaf'.

                        Now, who couldn't relate to that.
                        You know what really confuses me? My modelling area is not generally cleaned (not the floor anyways) and more and more pieces get dropped. I've never managed to recover any of them....I wonder if there's a colony of ants or something similar that has found a use for a multitude of tiny plastic parts...

                        Over in the "Aircraft" forum, there's another guy who's going through the same thing with an instrument panel that somehow vanished from his workbench.

                        Before I moved to Phoenix in January, I was lucky enough to live in an apartment where the carpet actually didn't eat too many small parts. In my new apartment, it's another story; I've already lost about three parts--this carpet monster must be "hungrier."

                        Is this 'THE THREAD THAT WOULDN'T DIE' or what?
                        It crawls back like something out of the "Night of the living dead".


                        The sad part is, besides mud, there's not much more progress I'm afraid.

                        Surelyyou've tried putting pantyhose over the vacuum nozzlefine dirt goes through and the rest is in the hose.

                        Ummmm...

                        Some of us don't wear pantyhose!Tongue [:P]
