Yep. I start on this one next tuesday. It should be interesting to say the least...my wife will be happy because that means I have to clean out the studio ! I wanted it to look like a normal whatiffers den, but the director said no. Sigh. And no beer bottles? WTF?

Your director has no respect for verisimilitude (or however you spell that)! As a amateur Production Designer/Art Director, I'd be adding as many beer bottles as I could find! They are symbolic of the Whiffers love of beer, lunacy, and the kind of ideas that professional aero designers ONLY have when drunk!

What about a rootbeer bottle? You can always fill it with the beverage of choice but it would be disguised as a non-alcolholic beverage

Oh we hashed it out...beer bottles will be in, as well as my percocet supply ! (kidding)

You will, of course, have the obligatory What If masterpieces in the background, I hope!

Already lined up! I am cleaning away while watching movies...fun, fun, fun.

One of my favourite lines so far:

"The first to remember when whatiffing is shop safety. Always wear safety glasses when building fictional models."

"Water Modeling". I didn't know you could model in the pool. Doesn't that make it difficult to work with waterbased acrylics?

It's even worse when you try it in a river, all your stuff just floats away with the flow, and you're right, it plays hell with your acrylic finishes. The phrase 'use water to thin' takes on a whole new meaning...

Well, at least the bathroom is close. Don't stand downstream of a whatiffer.
