To say, “That sucks!” Would an understatement of ginormous proportions. Wow....wish I could help you cleanup....well, not really, but I would since you are my friend. Any cause determined?
Good luck on getting back to the completion. You can do this!

Not true! We build both, at times - toys and models - and I have learned a great deal from your 109 for example!LyleW wrote:mostrich wrote:You're not just building and painting that kit. You're creating, forming, sculpting it. It's an absolute joy to follow along.![]()
Bruce (and so many others here), you build models. I build toys.

Thanks, buddy. One of the plumbers keeps saying, “Oh shit,” over and over within the stream of Spanish he is using to communicate with his partner. It sounds to me: “Bada da bada da bada da da oh shit bada bada da bada da oh shit” I hope “Oh shit” is not literal. He told me he doesn’t fix “fresh pipes” earlier. It took a second to realize what he meant.LyleW wrote:To say, “That sucks!” Would an understatement of ginormous proportions.

I took that photo yesterday. Feels a bit now like a convict marking time to me.

Damn that sucks. I hope they fix it soon for ya. Sounds like it's all on them if it was coming out of the bathroom and kitchen sinks. At least it wasn't coming out of the toilets.

Bruce, I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. Man, that sucks big time! It sounds a bit like the problem is on the landlord. Something caused this backlog. I hope you can recover soon. Take care Bruce!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

I'll repeat what others have said... that sucks. But I wouldn't let the passing deadline get you down. Just keep going. There are bigger things at stake than meeting some arbitrary date like BRUCE FINISHING A PROJECT!!! That's a more worthy goal, I think.

Thank you, gents. I am ordering Chinese takeout and taking no prisoners or at least washing no dishes.

Redoing. Did not think it was up to snuff. Primer on after much sanding with little pieces of 2000 grit. Cheers!
