A statement of truth!

You are correct...We are disturbed... I was going to get professional help....NOT!

You guys are deeply, deeply disturbed ...

Actually, that aircraft was 1/72 before tossing it in there!

ROTFL!!!

Isn't funny how when you're a modeler, the world falls into 3 categories: Model Tool for modeling Potential tool for modeling that the use just hasn't been discovered yet I love the dryer idea! Wonder if the dishwasher could be used to wash a kit before building? And the crockpot..... gotta be a use there.....

You mean like this? 

Microwave anybody ?

Plastic ala mode -l

Get a cardboard box, line it with aluminum foil and install a 100 watt bulb in the top.

Makes a great drying oven especially with a towel draped over the front.

Gawh.... I'd be too terrified to put a model on that rack for fear of it falling off somehow and burning down the house in a unforseen way. But niftey idea.

That's my kind of luck

throw some dirty socks in there for that subtle worn and weathered look.

Weathering is supposed to make it look bad... not smell bad
