Ever had the irresistable urge to..............?

[Airborne01]

Adding the rather tedious small details to my T-90MS, I suddenly had the urge to stop what I was doing, go to the stash, grab a not-very-valuable model ( for example one without a box, or instructions, or decals - or all three! ), and do what you did as kids. Just assemble the model - using only a sprue cutter, a knife, and glue - no paint, no filler, and make it as fast as you can! It goes against all your modelmaking skills, but I think i I'm going to give it a go. I just want to stick bits together, regardless of the finished result. Sounds odd, I know, but it could be quite cathartic - a relief from the attention to detail on other models.
I'm going to have a delve into the stash, and see if I can find a sacrificial model..........................

Blimey mate - I get that self-same impulse! Stop what I was doing. Get a not-very-valuable bottle of Sauvignon (don't need instructions) - disassemble the bottle top and do it as fast as I can! As you say - into the stash - find a sacrificial model and give it some (delectable) attention to detail!!! We are as one O Maestro!

You're definitely not the only one Dave, when you've been going at a model for weeks with minimal progress I have looked for something just to stick together. For me that usually means some wargaming figures to go into the paint queue but it definitely cures that itch.

Span? Capy? I have one in 1/87, but have no ideas for it. So for now just loads for engineers.

Funny, that is what I do Mick. If I’m in a bit of a rut building or painting I pop a few figures together or clean up some castings….

Last time - they did!

We had a group build once.. Could only use what is in the box and basic tools and a weekend to build it in. Was quite fun if I recall.

That will be quite a colourful build when done Dave.

Under starters orders - the toolkit.................

I decided to go old school & dug out a tube of glue.
Sadly, I discovered that there's a piece missing - the upper gunners seat/mount. Luckily it's an internal part & won't affect the overall assembly - ah well.
The next pictures will be in the 'completed aircraft' section

OOOOOhhhhh, - a slight (!!) setback - the Humbrol cement seems to have lost its' stick! ( it must be at least ten years old ). It seemed to be working, but the joints started to come apart after an hour or so! I had to reach out for the Contacta, and redo most of the joints.............
