ha! that's awesome! they are a total pain in the butt.
i was down at a lhs a few months ago and i told the guy i was working on a sherman and he goes:
'nice, i've built 78 of them. bring yours in when you finish and i'll tell you everything you did wrong.'
to which i replied in my head: 'ok dude... first of all, what are you doing building 78 shermans... think about diversifying. secondly, i try to make things as realistic and accurate as i possibly can, but isn't this supposed to be fun too?'
then he went on a 20 minute rant about how all primer is is paint, how he owns 3 airbrushes and solders all his pe.
all of this and all i wanted was to buy some lead foil.
needless to say, i don't think i'll frequent their establishment again.
guys, thanks for the advice. i'm glad that i won't be seen as a huge chump for some impromptu modifications.
you rock!
