I quit.

Post by H-bomb »

Well that's it. I've taken the decision to stop modelling.
I'm bored, so time to find a new hobby.
See you all

On second thoughts.....maybe you´re right!
I secretly dream of becoming a lumberjack. But I dont dare to say it, I think my family wouldnt approve of such a thing :sad:
Living in tiny, wooden huts wouldnt leave much spare room for modelling, so I would have to move on to something else......maybe chainsaw modelling of garden furniture?

Probably for the best mate; that Pembroke is a shocker and if you can't even be bothered to get the dihedral on a simple kit like the O/400 right then why bother at all eh??! :ha: :ha: :ha:

Yeah, whatever. When you've stopped crying about it, send your stash here, mate, it'll be cheaper than sending it to Paul in the States. Hownottobeconnedbyaconneronaprilfirst.
