    Therapy.............

    I've just spent a couple of hours putting decals on the Viper ......... I know some find it a mission. But I find it very therapeutic and relaxing ............. I'll finish them off tomorrow.

    it all depends on the subject.....i often find it relaxing too.....once did a 1/9 scale Honda race bike that had a massive amount of decals....took me over a week to do....really enjoyed it when it all came together

      Applying decals is one of the things that needs to be done but I really can't stand doing....like emptying the cat litter or cleaning up my kid's puke - all of which I have done recently. The paradox of applying decals though is that it is probably the build step that brings the model to life - at least with the aircraft I have done lately.


      I'm not looking forward to applying all those stencil decals to my Tomcat.
      On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
      Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
      Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

        One of my favorite steps, really hard to mess up and satisfying when done well. I almost get upset when there is only a few decals on a flat surface.

          . A weeks worth is a lot of "therapy".

              I like decaling but find it a hassle when there are loads ( yes Revell im looking at you ) especially tiny ones you can't see I only hate doing it at night because I usually wake up in the morning with a swashtika took to my forehead!
