Jumpin' Jack Flash

I'm working on two different kits right now, and just getting the parts ready for paint is a major pain.

Both kits have major flash (from mis-aligned molds)... and I've spent more time cleaning up parts just to get them ready for paint and assembly as I'll probably spend on paint and assembly combined! I really hate the fact that I have to "fix" the parts of a kit before I can even start to build the kit.

WAH! WAH! WAH!

Is stamp collecting next for you?

[MikeMc]

With those biggies you like.....out to the garage and grab a DA :lol:

Resin or Plastic? The last few Lindberg kits I've opened were of horrid quality.

It's not a gas, but I have gas. Hope this helps!

Yeah, I feel better now!

Plastic. One Minicraft, one MPC.

I second the Wah! Wah! Wah! comment. Are we not model builders? Are we cows and need to have everything done for us? Are we going to end up being a bunch of mere Tamiya assemblers and die-cast collecters?

I know you're just venting, Harry. I had to tease a little bit. Have you built any Protar 1/12 cars or 1/9 bikes? That would learn ya!

Hear,Hear, Andy, your right in ANY way you look at it. Harry, you know you jus gettin it outta you. Now get back in there an give that model he...ck!!!! we ARE builders customizers,and modifiers. There shouldn't be ANYTHING you can't do or at least TRY to do with a model, after all, it's ONLY PLASTIC!!!!!!

Protar 1/9 bikes, yeah. They weren't too bad, as I remember.

George, I got it done. Took a while, especially trimming each and every spoke on 10 wheel halves (front and back, 4 wheels plus the spare). Man, that was bo-ring!

[george 53]

Oh yeah, I can imagine,Bro,but look at it this way, at least that rascals DONE now!
