No true model maker in the world can look at his complete model and say : Ahhhh…
\nAll of them, including myself, see all the flaws, glithces, bad paint job, bad gluing, etc..

\nA few days ago i bought a bunch of tools and equipment from a model maker who goes to the states for a long while. I think i made a good deal on most of the items, but i fear that i don’t actually need most of them, and could have lived without them. I bought them anyway, since in over all, it was cheaper to buy them as a bundle rather then actually buy them seperatly, and new. I always feel i waste money on stuff i don’t need. I hope i can use each and every thing i bought so i won’t feel like i’ve wasted precious money. YYEEEESSSSS…. MY PRECIOUS MONEY !!! AND I WON’T LET THOSE HOBITSES TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME !!!<\/p>\n
Anyways, this guy who i’ve bought the stuff from, had a very nice and detailed model of an F-16. I didn’t notice which F-16 i think it was an F-16A or B. i only looked at it for a few seconds because i was in a hurry. I told him it looks very nice, and he immidietly told me: What are you talking about ? this model is crap ! it’s my first work !
\nI immidietly laughed… that’s what every model builder would say about his first model… I say that about my first models…
\nAnd yet they are there, in the display case, along with the rest of the models…<\/p>\n
