Clemi Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hi guys, I often read WIP in a lot of topics. But I'm not sure what this means because I'm not the best in the english language. I think it is "work in progress", this sounds logically for me. Anyone can explain it me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 What is pau, then?...finished (pau) models... Pau is Hawaiian for "finished" or "done." Gregg lives in Hawaii. Connect the dots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaleDale Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I first heard the term in graphic design, so it isn't just a model building thing. WIP, that is. Pau for now... Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toner283 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Dang it. I almost spewed pepsi out of my nose with the hammer comment. Here I was innocently out for a stroll on the interweb looking for information on model cars and I stumbled into a nut house cleverly disguised as a model car forum. Lol. Buncha crazy people. You are all one chrome sprue short of a model kit. Good thing I seem to fit right in. Edited November 29, 2013 by Toner283 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan 191 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have found it funny that threads in the On The Workbench section are WIP instead of being all OTW or naming the section Work in Progress. Not problematic just funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not problematic just funny. I think the term "On the bench" pre dates WIP. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
