I've dropped a tire and have it end up on the bottom ledge of the BOOKSHELF ACROSS THE ROOM. It didn't bounce up there.... It didn't levitate... No one put it up there...
Draggon Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 After putting those vintage unobtainium parts in bleach to soak the chrome off, and then rinse them in the sink, and OOPS! You forgot to put the strainer in the bottom of the sink! I actually have taken the pee trap off to find parts before, and found them to be gone for good. I'd like to say I learned the first time, but it was more like the third. And Hey Allen, as far as your "boys" go I think you need to go to the Doc. Something must be wrong. Mine are labelled "L and R"
Jordan White Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 When you lose a part, then decide to use another part in place, and once it's glued on and completed you end up finding the original part on the floor.

disabled modeler Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 How about when you have close to 75 vintage models/kits and it seems everyone of them needs a part you cant find in order to build/rebuild them? And when you spend a month converting/restoring a body only to have it crack or warp after finishing?

That's why I've got such an awesome parts box that I've inherited from the modeling elders over the years... because I'm too chicken to risk using "one chance only" parts. Sort of a hoarding mentality. The part's too precious to actually USE. What if I botch it? I'm sure there are studies. What do you mean what if you botch it? What if you don't???
GrandpaMcGurk Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) I have a Dremel sitting on my bench with a long flexible cable....it used to be that I would set the speed on the motor and then use whatever bit was needed on the small easy to handle cable end. I also have long hair and a full beard.........well buddy, got too close to what I was working on and you guessed it, the sanding drum was spinning like mad when it caught my hair....couldn't reach the motor to shut it off, as you know Dremels are pretty powerful and it just kept tearing out more hair. I had to grab the cable with both hands and rip it from the twisted hair while still running. My wife still grins whenever she hears me using a rotary tool...by the way, it now has a foot operated speed control. Edited July 26, 2011 by GrandpaMcGurk
