What would a car modelers Hades be like:

[Keef]

You can build any kit you want…..as long as it’s the MPC 67 or 72 GTO. Without any tools. 

[Little Timmy]

Spray paint cans , paintbrushes and airbrushes were never invented...

You have to paint everything with your fingers. 

 

[stitchdup]

your finger prints are like red plastic and always burn through

[Classicgas]

There is always dust in the air when painting.

[ChrisBcritter]

Chad on a tape loop saying "cool" 

[Classicgas]

That Johan kit you've always wanted is all over the place, only to disappear when you reach for it.

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.

My Hades on earth as a young builder: Slammed the Ford pick up to the floor, hated the 57 Chevy with all the opening features. Watched the wheels melt into the tires.

The only kits were Palmer!

Paint never dries and gloo doesn't, and every time you think you might actually enjoy the next moment, some shrill authoritative voice tells you to change a litterbox or take out the trash.

If you love to build box-stock, the only kits you can have are jumbled up messes of cherry-picked leftovers, and if you love to kitbash hot-rods and American customs, all you're allowed to have is one late-model 4 door Asian kit at a time.

The only available cement is MPC Notox.  Smells like lemon, sticks like...lemon.  When disassembling builtups assembled with it, you still get a whiff of lemon upon separating the parts.

The dog now has three heads, to chew three times as many parts!

Tube gloo would ooze from the tips of your fingers, ensuring every model looked like a 3-year-old built it.

Every container of CA would leak, so you'd constantly be glooing your fingers to model parts or up your nose or to your hair...and the "remover" would be a strictly controlled material, unavailable to the masses.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Brushstrokes would miraculously appear in your airbrushed paintwork, and every rattlecan would clog or spit little pieces of trash, while hordes of insects would land in anything wet and make tracks as they die.

[MeatMan]

K, I'ma go there. The only paint available is Rustoleum...and only in basic colors.

[Classicgas]

There's only one sheen of black, somewhere between flat and satin, not close to either.

[slusher]

Keep losing sprue cutters and glue..

[slusher]

Trimming part and model knife  cuts finger and nail  never forget the stinging pain..

[Big John]

You clear coat your crapy enamel paint job with lacquer, which is all you can get, and then stripping it down the styrene body melts into a gob of goo.  And it was the last of those 'find no more' kits that cost you your life savings because you just Had to have it.

[Big John]

the only wheels and tires you can find are old Merit kit clear wires and skinny GP tire that don't match.

[Ace-Garageguy]

How 'bout every time you paint a body, thousands of little bugs land in it, so thick your model looks like it's growing hair?

[slusher]

paint lids would be extremely hard to get off from dried paint under them"….

[Classicgas]

Every bottle and can of paint you have is empty.

[Ace-Garageguy]

According to half the responses, I'm already in Hades. S'OK though. I've suspected that for some time.
