66. omg the rigging - so much cursing

Wed Sep 4, 2024, 11:10 AM

Sep 2024

Rigging drove him nuts. I frequently heard his deep 'godDAMNit' coming from his workroom. Over time he gave up scratchbuilding for modeling kits that he bought in multiples.

Me: Why do you have three of the same thing?

Him: It's missing parts that I needed so I got two more. I probably won't build the third kit but I like to have backup.

Me: (eyeroll)

Him: (indignant) They didn't cost much!

No, they didn't.

He was very proud of his foiling techniques. Hope to post some of his best work when things have settled.
