    Poorly Carpet Monster

    As i was finishing off a recent kit, a minute piece of brass fell, to what i believed, was 90 degrees straight down onto the carpet/ rug under my chair, so with illuminated magnifier i assumed the usual pose for searching - on my hands and knees and started the search, could i find it - no, but what i did find was two smaller minute pieces of brass (seat belts to a 1/48 coyote build) i completed months ago. Now at that time i also searched everywhere to no avail, this carpet/rug has been hoovered umpteen times since their disappearance, been taken off the floor, flung on the spare bed, whilst decorating the room, flung back on the floor, so i can only logically surmise that the carpet monster didn't like the brass and eventually 'threw them up'. Oh and i found the latest 'lost' item 6 feet away, they need to stop making brass bounce-able !!

    Funny what turns up, normally months after a build  That is why I tend to keep away from PE I drop normal big plastic bits and the shed spiders nab them
