The aquisition of my wife Cut my modelling by 90%

But I'd never trade her...........

.....Till she's 40. Then I'll trade her for a pair of 20's

Take this plastic and model it!

Heh. The Dremel Multitool I bought on e-bay. When I got it, I realised it was set up for 110 volts (shipped from the US) To buy a convertor to run it on our 240 volts will cost me as much as the dremel. Still sitting, collecting dust, never used.

As a self professed tool - aholic I can't think of any modeling or automotive tools I have bought that were uselesssome have worked not as well as expected but.... I mean in my modeling room I have 4 dremel tools one cordless one flex shaft and 2 corded one I think model 275 was my grandfathers ( I bought a bench top vari speed for it years ago) that still the one I grab most. I have prob $100,000 worth of automotive tools I have aquired over the years alotta race car fab. tools and crazy stuff for building race cars..

Yes, the stash, how true! Aside from that, a cutting pad. It still sits under plate glass, like new. I guess it works OK for lining parts up on a 90 or 45, but as far as I'm concerned, close counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and scale modeling!!!
