Ah, the cool voice of reason. Thanks Bill, good to see there's one who's not completely off their rocker. |

Ok now we need to think about this last comment by Frank. Cool voice of reason? One who's not completely off their rocker? and this is referencing Billy Bondo? Heck I need a shot after considering that!
Sir Bill of Bondoness I shall do my best to use the same finess, care and quality that I normally expend. Don't drink much. Back hurts too much for sex. The only prayer I do on a daily basis is to do his will. Figured that's about all that will come of it anyways and I build models cuz as a child I thought war was horrible and if they could use toys to fight em no one would have to leave home and get hurt or killed. Pretty odd that a kid with that wish spent 21 years active duty eh?
Anyways 48 hours is the equivilant of six 8 hour work days. So If you spend 8 hours a day on a model for 6 days it doesn't sound so bad does it. Besides your missing the most important part. Can I really do it? A challenge self imposed and besides I don't want to spend a bunch of doe on extras on the Grand Slam. Saving that for the other version!
Now are we going to challenge ourselves and rise to the occassion! Push the limits! Learn and improve our skills with the limited time we have? Or take the safe bet. Oh sure you may die an old man in your bed being a cautious sort but will you have really lived. Life was meant to be exciting and dynamic! That is what makes it so precious. The mundane insults my spirit and aggrivates me except on those few occassions I can enjoy it as a peaceful moment.
Besides what if it takes 49 hours or gosh even 50? Would it make anyone less of a friend here? Heck I don't think any less of anyone who never finished in reality but rejoice in the attempts and marvel at those that have done such great work using imagination and resourcefulness not so much the big $ extra parts! That is what I personally like to see and strive to emmulate!
Now Frank gosh dern it entertain me! Ya think we are gonna live forever!
Get him Buddy! Some one give Bondo a shot! Stark Raving nutcases?!? I'll take that to being what these so called sane people have for a soul anyday thankyou very much!
A fine example of how speed does indeed count Dave!
