Mike Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I've already had my rant about starter kits on another thread, so I won't dive in again The photos may flatter, Mike - but it still looks pretty good to me. Paint looks fine, and personally, I *always* have at least one torn or wonky decal on a model (it's like a little trademark of mine....)... always assuming they were in-register to start with, which yours clearly weren't. Excellent job with limited resources, and 10/10 for perseverance when there were obviously times when you would have been happy to see it nose-diving into the wheelie-bin from a considerable height. Cheers chap - too kind I have made it a personal crusade to see none of my models be thrown or smashed in anger or frustration. It's a waste of a good (or otherwise) kit, my time, and it's more than a little childish if it's done in anger*, and who knows? One day in the future I may have become a better modeller & be able to restart the job * I have recently smashed a light fitting, but that was done in pure ecstacy at getting rid of the flickery, flashy piece of junk that was faulty from the outset** & has been irritating me for years until a new fitting was acquired I really enjoyed swinging it baseball style into the corner of the house ** Sadly, I didn't really use it much for the first year, so taking it back wasn't an option.

Milo Black Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) It's a waste of a good (or otherwise) kit, my time, and it's more than a little childish if it's done in anger*, I'm with you on that - I spoke, of course, in jest.... although I do sympathise about the light-fitting I recall having a cermonial bonfire for something that had been irking me for ages*, but since I can't remember what the heck it was, it clearly can't have irked me that much. * I'm fairly sure that it wasn't my ex-wife... nice though that would have been.

Mike Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I knew you were kidding I think if you'd been burning the ex-missus, there would have been the distinct aroma of pork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
