Well fellas........what can i say!! After all the cleaning last night i decided this morning to re-prime ready for the next stage (again!!).......so on went the primer and she looked ferkin` marveloooose .............went downstairs to make a coffee came back up and shock ferkin` horror the frame and tank had fallen over on the bench and completely ferked up the paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, in my attempts to try and recover it i ended up ferkin` the paint up even more  ....................subsequently she ended up hitting the wall!!!!  . After that i just boxed her up and put it away...........in about 7 pieces!!!!!, luckily enough it was only the tank, frame affected and the additional whitework that i`d added........that was the final straw that broke the camels back!!! However, after a couple of hrs of calming down.................i ferkin` re-built her , re-sanded. re-filled and re-primed and too prove she is very much alive and kickin...........her she is.  I`m not gonna touch this for a couple of days just to let her settle down (and me!!)...............so i may well kick orfe the second build ..........i did say MAY!! Anyway chaps..........sorry it ain`t much and that i seem to be the only person that does a blog that goes backwards but i am trying....honest!! Cheers fellas |

In my case though, i simply can't lose the rag, otherwise i'd have no kit left to salvage, on a good day i can close a 300lb forearm gripper, styrene wouldn't have a hope in hell of surviving if it angered me enough and "her indoors" would probably beat seven shades of sh*t out me for disturbing the piece! |

Looking good Boots! What scale is that? As far as the struggles just take a breather n walk away. I've thrown away so many car models it's ridiculous lol. I almost quit on the Enzo but I just took time off, regained interest and went at her. I lack that essential modeling technique known as patience lol... Though I'm learning how to manage
Keep up the good work... The R1 is a sexy beast
