Call me touchy, or crabby, but thunderBolt2's Monogram post really got under my skin. How many of you have never built a Monogram kit? Go on, raise your hand, I'll wait.............That's kinda what I thought.
My first Monogram Kit was a 1-48 F-4J MiG Killer. I used a whole tube of glue and painted it black. And I loved evry minute of it. It looked absolutely ridiculous, now that I think about it, but I enjoyed building my "crap" kit.
What I'm getting at here is this. It's a hobby folks. When we sit down to our work benches or tables, we're not performing brain surgery or putting men on the moon. Even if you get paid to build models, you are still supposed to enjoy what you are doing. Maybe Mr. Thunderbolt2 should think about that next time sits down to his project.
When I get home tonight, I am going to continue working on my many crap kits. Raised panel lines, lack of detail, give me more of it. I literally have shelves full of T-bolts's crap. And I will continue to build crap. I guess in this case you can actually polish a turd.
