Cleaning out the closet! Star Wars, Star Trek, BSG ect...
Posted by Chris_in_Japan on Monday, September 18, 2006 3:58 AM
Hi guys.. I was going through some stuff, and realised that I didnt need half of it, or I simple wasnt going to build it, or even complete it.. So I am clearing everything out..

I have a link over at SSM for you to have a look at, and let me know if you are interested in any of it..

http://www.starshipmodeler.net/cgi-bin/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=42164

You can message me here or there..

Thanks mate.. Just wanting to get rid of a few things...

I am simply not going to build any of them, as I have a habbit of impulse buying kits, and so I usually build what catches my interest at the time.. This stuff is just going to waste..

Each to their own Ed...

When it comes to me, you cant have too much WWII Japanese historical stuff!...

But when you let it dictate your life and you start getting upset at people for saying the wrong thing, or asking silly questins because you want to learn, or not getting things "canon" in the world of Star Trek, like our sad, poor friend Griff..

Then thats when you know you need to step not only away from the glue fumes, but also the keyboard for a few momments and realise that we are all the same, with an interest in something we love!... And that some of us have lives outside of the world of hobby's....

I never knock anyone for showing passion in what they love!..

Not sure what you have against Griff Chris, but it doesn't seem as if your following the advice you gave Griff over at Thomas Sasser's forum which of course was removed.

Well Ed, that isnt a bad thing either.. Although I need to complete my refit, I have some plans for 2 different builds.. 1 is I want to do an NX- TOS Enterprise cross over.. ie: NX-01 in white with aztecing. Or a TOS in silver panelling?.. Or maybe a mixture of both..... Just have to work out how I want to do it!..

Cheers, Chris

Hmmm, that's an interesting concept. The NX-01-  1701 a Hybrid? or just the paint scheme cross over? either way that'll be worth waiting to seeTongue [:P]

Wow, talk about cheap shot out of the blue!  No, someone's not holding a grudge, are they...?  And here I thought personal attacks weren't allowed at FSM.

That's a fallacy.  You just knocked me for displaying some passion towards Star Trek.  You knocked George Fordyce/Admiral Grasshopper in these - and other forums - for his passions about his things. 

Oh, no.  You "never" knock anyone for showing passion in what they love! 

 Not ever.

Anyways Ed.. Have you even started that NX? I have always thought about getting one to go with the Refit, but I really dont have the patients to do another big one and put the time into the paint work!

Hi Mike.. sorry didnt see that responce, I will head over and have a squiz..

Good to see you on!.. Miss our little chats we used to have on msn...

Hope all is well with the family!

As for my stash, I have sold about half of it. But I found a second Bandai NX-01 stashed away.. Forgot I bought two of them.. Still in its box and bags, and never been touched.. I already have one built, so this guy really needs to find a new home!.. Other than that, I have a few other things left that I simply dont have storage for anymore..
