What would a car modelers Hades be like:

[GLMFAA1]

To have your most desirable model kit you've wanted in front of you and.....................................

1 You are unable to get box open

2 You have no glue,paint, or exacto knife.

3 Parts won't come off the trees

4 Loose parts fall further in the abyss

5 Directions are for another kit

6 Directions are in foreign language.

add your own dilemma

Every kit made to Palmer or Premier design and scaling specs.

[NOBLNG]

Big short shot and no filler/putty.?

[Ace-Garageguy]

To still have the poor eye-hand coordination, nonexistent knowledge base, lack of common-sense, and general skills I had when I was 5 years old, but as an adult.

EDIT: The real sadistic kicker would to be able to remember having had superior skills, but to not be able to get the hands to function with any kind of fine control.

Hundreds of kits in the stash and no way in Hades to ever build them all...:)

That's just reality from my perspective.

I think that's just called getting older, Bill.?

[Rodent]

No 40% off Hobby Lobby weeks and no Ollies.

[Classicgas]

The same kit reissued ad nauseum.

Or PVA (school glue) for everything including engine halves....

[Bills72sj]

You have to build with one hand tied behind your back.

[1972coronet]

1/1 scale bird poopin' on 1/25 scale car every time

[Russell C]

Molded in a form of red plastic that bleeds through even the toughest type of paint primer.

[Bugatti Fan]

Being the only auto modeller in a room full of aeroplane modellers forever after going through the pearly gates.

[NOBLNG]

HUGE sprue attachment points on all the chrome parts.?

[Little Timmy]

Your hobby store thinks that Palmer kits are the most accurate,  so that's all they stock.

 

[stitchdup]

the instructions are in the wing dings font

[Classicgas]

There are no paints of any kind.

[webestang]

You spend a millennia creating a super detailed model only to drop it and have to start it again........spend another millennia and drop it again.....spend another.........

[JollySipper]

Views for eternity but never any replies......

[bobss396]

There will be nothing but the Revell Unbuildables. The '56 Ford truck, the OG '31 Woody, '56 Chevy and so on.

These kits were a struggle in my younger years. If I broke something... I was up a creek.
