I recently bought a medieval castle and about 500 1.72 orcs, goblins skeletons and about the same number of medieval levy, 100 years war archers and crusader knights. I figured, what the hell, if its a fantasy setting i can have what i want. i started painting the Goblins and they look just awful.
But then my son is only 11 months old.
I should have nearly finished this project by the time he goes to college.
The advantage of being old is you can buy all the paint and brushes you want. I'll even get an airbrush, something I never had as a kid.
The balsa Y-Wing is in its fourth year of unopened status, along with the balsa Zero. The trouble with the balsa kits is they were bought on impulse but are far from impulse friendly.
On the back - instead of 'welcome to the modeling adventure. You will have a flying replica in moments! ' it says -
To complete this kit you will need - a sharp knife - a sharper knife - pins - drawing pins - dressmaking pins - needles - butchers block - 17 types of glue - a special dope of a brand long discontinued - rubber bands, a modelling vice, an engineering qualification , patience, a large area like a dining room table but not actually a dining room table as you can't leave it there - to leave your wife - to quit your job - some rubber bands - canvas - plastic sheeting - an airlock to keep dust and dirt away - a robotic arm of a type used in micro surgery - austin powers thick magnifying glasses - surgical gloves - to expell your pets - ceiling wax - brasso - goldleaf paint - and other readily available products from thee Victorian era - and a collection of special tools that a dentist supplies centre might stock. Happy building.
