                        Angry [:(!]So I'm building this little 1/400 WW1 german torpedo boat and have hopes of entering it in a contest, only the PE railing is of the kind that each stanchon ends like an individual pin. A #@%$# nightmare to glue (with CA), plus it allows all sorts of odd "bendage". I been trying to make it work for 4 days nowDead [xx(]. An hour ago I ripped it ALL out, balled it up and pitched it!Smile [:)] I then took some spare railing I knew I could work with (thanks TOM's), put it in and it looks like it belongs thereBig Smile [:D]. Victory comes in the smallest places. I'm gonna let it dry while I go get some cheese & crackers and a nice glass of chilled wineCool [8D]. Just needed to scream! Here's to all you guys's small victories.......
