Dr_PepPeR Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I know the frustration of lost parts, sir! I've had my share. I once lost the plastic canopy of a Y-wing. Had to scratch build one from hard plastic packaging material and some scraps of glass tint film. Anyway, looking on the bright side (while waiting for the bermuda triangle to cough out the sprocket), you can use it in a diorama with a Panzer blowing it away, hitting the sprocket and mangling the tracks - hence the missing part and poor tracks, hehehe. Good luck with your next kit, sir! Hope you complete it before the triangle opens up again. The diorama sounds good sir, it will force me to work with figures and painting faces in 1/35th again. Yes, I have a cheap set of German soldiers in early war uniforms... Thanks a lot sir, thanks! Quote Link to comment
Luftwaffe Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Fellow modeller here, aircraft and choppers particularly but I also delve in other subjects every now and then. At present, almost all of the available cabinet spaces in our house are crammed full with unbuilt boxes of models which I've accumulated in the past 10 or more years, pissing-off the missus everytime I get home with another box to add to my collection. Funny thing is, the rigidity of my job now (plus two toddlers lurking around the workbench everytime I attempt to build) prevents me from ever building even a single model and yet, I couldn't resist buying one everytime I walk inside a hobby shop. I now feel that am somewhat afflicted with a rare disease of being addicted to plastics... is this normal guys or is it just me? Quote Link to comment

I have armor, figures, aircraft and choppers plus the occasional car kit, all unbuilt and scattered throughout the house and the garage, all 800+ of them. You sound pretty normal to me.

She has more hard to find items there like brass rods, sculpey and alclad II paint. Right now I'm into collecting unbuilt model kits. Quote Link to comment

Classic or Hard to find unbuilt are really pricey once thier production is stopped. astig Ipon mo lang sila. you will have tons of time to build them in the future. (i have 10 boxes still unopened) Quote Link to comment

Then perhaps a dose of Starwars kits will turn you back to your true path! http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-01http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-02http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-03http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-04http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-05http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-06http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-07 Great! More kits to add to my unbuilt collection! Classic or Hard to find unbuilt are really pricey once thier production is stopped. astig Ipon mo lang sila. you will have tons of time to build them in the future. (i have 10 boxes still unopened) Kits are being reissued all the time, look at all the old Aurora kits being released under the Polar Lights label. As long as the molds are intact, kits can always be reissued. Anyway, I think my wife will the beneficiary for all these kits, by the time I have time to build them my eyes and motor coordination will be kaput. Quote Link to comment
