What glue?

What paint?

Don't those require time to apply?

Uhhh...what does the glue and paint do while it's waiting for me to get home......lol.....congeal in it's original container.....

Ya can't dry it.....if ya don't apply it......

Move onto another subassembly, or model for that matter, then think about how I can get the opporunity to hold Ms. Beckinsale's hand, catch up on FSM mag reading, think how to implement the opporunity to hold Ms. Beckinsale's hand using only $229, check the fourms, realize my opporunity to hold Ms. Beckinsale's hand won't come true, double check to make sure I can't do anymore subassembly work, give up on trying to hold Ms. Beckinsale's hand, and move on to try to hold Ann Hatheway's, return to original work

(repeat)

Seriously, I move onto other subassemblies or another model all together (I limit myself to 3 concurrent builds at a time), or prepare parts to be airbrushed in the next session.  If all that is stalled, well I always have the computer next to my bench, and a TV behind it.

Why do ya think I have 25 WIPs?  Plus, my computer's right next to the bench, as is the TV, and I got a swivel-chair..

That and catch up on reading the large stack of model magazines. I'm sooo way behind on them.

Well, when i'm actually waiting for it to dry I normally pick up another of the kits I am working on and do something wtih that, or start painting another part of the kit.  If that is impossible Ill probably be playing a computer game or watching TV.

I catch upon my reading.GERMAN , POLISH , FRENCH , AND sometimes very bad ENGLISH (yup, kit directions ).NAH , When I get to this point I stop for a day or two and let the glue and paint really dry and read a good book ,you know , CUSSLER , GRISHAM, PATRICK O,BRIAN etc . OR my reference books .

 Tamiya M-16 that has been hanging on at the 80% done mark since well too long ago (forgot when I bought it).

 

 

Tamiya M-16?!

Yep, very nice kit for it's age. Soft plastic front tires (some hate that some don't). Over all a nice build.

Putting the tracks together today though and it is apparent the kit designer was in a foul mood when he thought up the means to assemble the tracks. You take two tabs each with two projec tions on either side of the tab and thread them into the receiving holes of the opposing end of the length of track. Sounds ok till you see how small those tabs are and how small the receiving holes are and that they are paired together meaning you have to attach them simultaneously.

I'm actually shocked I was successful. Luckily the tension on the track was little and then installed without pulling the darned things apart (which would have made me a bit hot under the collar).

The kit will need some rehab on the paint job seeing as I have not had the original paint shade for a decade now. No worries, OD is a brain dead easy colour to get. Kit is turning into a nice example of 'why didn't I get this done a long time ago?'.

Make plans to take over the world one $229 model at a time.

Seriously?  I move on to another sub-assembly.  I always start with the turret first (just a habit) then move to the upper hull assembly, then to the suspension, etc.

Just move on to the next sub-assembly,if it is the end of the project,then I just wait till it dries and then resume.I hate having more then one build going at once.

I fill my time pondering the meaing of life... and how I can live up to the high expectations of our estemeed Herr Feldmarshal.

A worthy endeavor.

Unless I'm working on the final paint job, I move onto the next thing that needs to be detail painted before adding it to the build in progress.  Same goes for the glue drying..   I just move onto the next step unless it is the final one.

When it's all the final step, I just let the paint or glue dry 24 hours before resuming work on that project.  I have enough things under construction that I never really have a dead time in the overall process.

"Just curious, you will be in this position often enough, what do you do when you must pause the work, because the model can't progress till some glue up or some paint work dries?"

Do another kit sitting around, or post silly pictures on here.

M3 halftrack w/quad 50's. Cool kit, my Dad built one back in the 80's

Mike

LOL...thanks.

Was wondering how i ever missed seeing an alternative to the LS 1:1 scale M-16 infantry rifle kit.

You guys wait for the paint to dry?? Sissies.....

Tamiya M-16?!

Sigh, when you hang out with boys, you inevitably get stuck looking at young girls pictures.

Where are the ladies on this forum I was told about, and when can I expect to see some equal time.

Oh just some input from him, he ponders why anyone would be distracted by someone young enough to be our daughter. 2x 20s does not equal a 40. Not my fault you picked the wrong 40 eh snicker.

Rapidly running out of old kits that have been lurking on my shelves. Today it is this Tamiya M-16 that has been hanging on at the 80% done mark since well too long ago (forgot when I bought it).

I'm eventually going to have to do all my 48th scale tracks on I don't even want to think of it how many tanks.

Meaninglessness (?) is in the mind of the beholder.  The MOJO's embrace the diversity of meaningless comments.

ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!  With respect, of course.

I nominate the lovely young Ms. Beckinsale for Official Pin-up of the $229 MOJO's.

Can't take me anywhere.

The Listening Post agrees !!! not that it means anything
