Don't You Hate It When..

[samdiego]

I'm considering ram-air, I really need to vacuum

[RodneyBad]

I'll play.

I hate buying a new kit you Know you don't have.

Then going through you stash off kits in boxes (because there is no more room on the shelves, closet, floor,etc..)

Then finding out you bought it the first couple of times it's been issued and reissued.

Memory just ain't what it use to be.

I'm much to young to feel that old..

It's kinda like that 'Twilight Zone' episode where there's a dimensional anomaly in the house and the kid falls through. That, I'm certain, is what happens to my parts when they take leave. Almost like the socks that disappear from the dryer. Well, I have to get to the bus depot to get to my 3D class ("What a coincidental"- Curly Howard).

I'm considering ram-air, I really need to vacuum

haha that's what I would do

###### goes flying and even if they just fell straight down, they still get lost and I can never find them and of course it happens to the lenses. I need to sit my chair in a big box.

I hate it when....

You are building a model for a show...like always the last minute... and everything went together fine paint is flawless. As you glue and add you last and final pieces you have glue on your finger that you don’t know where in the hell it came from and rub it on your paint. Boy right about that time you want to throw it out the window of a 10-story building. Never fails. The gluing the fingers together one gets me too and when you add the accelerant it burns like hell. I have given myself some 3rd degree burns like that before.

I haven't vacuumed in a month because I can't find a lense for my Fairlane.

One of the memories from my childhood is mom vacuuming my room, and the distinct rattle of something going up the tube. Always made me cringe, thinking "Well, at least I know where that part went..."

Here’s one for ya. One of last builds (over two years ago) I was putting the finishing touches on the 53 Ford Crestline. After getting the V8 photo etch on one side and I applied the future to the other V8, picked up the model to position reached down to grab the tweezers with the V8 PE part and it was gone! After two hours of searching every inch of model table, floor, every piece of clothing I was wearing I gave up and took the installed V8 off. This model went to at least two model contests like that. Time past…..I was getting my model entries ready for the Birmingham show and there on my bench nearly in plain site appears the missing V8! All I could figure out was it had somehow fallen on a rag (old T shirt) and remained there even though at the time I inspected every rag for the thing.

So this ended up all ok in the end as I managed to not loose or misplace the other one over those months.

When it comes to these mysterious missing parts it only proves the existence of black holes!

Here is a current situation I have. By now those who have read my “re-entry to building post†knows I have been away for over two years. Well I had a project underway and in those past two or so years I have done bits and pieces here and there. Cutting to the chase, I am currently in search of the two rear shocks I modified and worst than that, I can’t find the entire PE set I have for it. I found the packaging as I cut a couple things from it but cannot find the dang thing! I May have to start another project to these items decide to resurface.

BTW-I have been doing at least something on this project nearly every night for the past week of so. IF this keeps up, I may find myself back in the modeling hobby after all!!

I've done that so many times that I was beginning to believe it's part of the process!! I can't tell you how many times I've gotten "Satan's Adhesive" on a finished model... I love/hate that stuff!!

Don’t you hate it when just after finishing a nicely detailed build…say a 65 Impala Convertible……..and you are all excited you got it done for that contest the next day…….and you are just doing a little final polishing/cleaning before packing it to go to said contest……..then watching as if in slow motion fall from your hand……then back to real time speed as it slams on to the tile floor top side down busting into pieces….don’t you hate when that happens…..I sure did when it happened to me!

I ended up having to get another kit to replace the windshield and frame. Then I decided I could do a better paint job so I did that too (the first paint job I did one of those gluing the finger to the body tricks). After it was all back together, it did turn out better than the original so I guess it happened for a reason.
