News from Lana 'n' Zac

[K5054NZ]

Hey guys

Bit of bad news. As you all know, we shifted last week to my sister's place. You know the one, with all the foliage. Due to "space restrictions" the stash had to be left at Mum and Dad's, and we decided we'd only bring what we are currently working on.

For me it was the Gloster Cavalier, the Yak-3 and the Birdcage. For Lana it was Corsair 648, the mystery racer and her newest uber-secret project.




Unfortunately, the box containing all of Lana's current builds has disappeared.    I spent about 15min or so last night going through every box in the stash at Mum and Dad's, as well as combing the entire house. After work today I did the same here, but again to no avail. We are guessing there are two options: a) the box is in my sister and her boyfriend's 4x4 (now several hours' drive and two months away) or 2)    in the rubbish.



As you can understand, this is a real blow which has left us both shattered. The idea of all of Lana's work having been thrown away is simply too much for me to come to grips with, and I believe Lana is the same.

I'm going to stop all my work until the box either turns up or we defintively know what's happened to it. We'll both keep you posted on developments.

Oh no!!! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the box turns up soon, Zac-o-matic!

Yikes!  Hopefully, it is found !

[John Howling Mouse]

What markings/instructions did you put on the outside of the carton?  Maybe that will help you find it.  Did you do the move yourselves or hire a crew?

I'm sure it will turn up but I do understand the frustration----whenever I can't find a prior in-progress project, I start a new one!

[Archibald]

I can understand of frustrating it is - would have become nut in this case-  

I'm going to stop all my work until the box either turns up or we defintively know what's happened to it

does this mean that you won't do models until Lana find the box - and the two could work  side by side on your respective models?
That's just lovely!  ^_^

Holy smokes, you'd think that somebody just ran over your dog !

The box will turn up...probably in a few years, and then it'll be like Christmas all over again !

Put a Bounty on it, then Call Boba Fett

Thanks guys. Your support at this time is really appreciated.

Yes Archie, that's precisely what I mean. I can't wait for the box to turn up for more reasons than one!

Todd - or cat! When you think about how many coats of paint Lana's done on the Corsair, and the amount of PSR on the mystery Reno racer, you'd be rather unhappy too. Sigh...

Baz, our moving crew was the two of us, my folks, my best mate Peter and my sister's boyfriend. Who is currently in Nigeria.    

Don't worry B777LR, she's still real keen. She still has her Thunder Corsair and Chaika to build, as well as a couple of oddballs from Brian.

Let's all just pray it turns up. Soon.


And for all you Boba Fett fans out there (and let's face it, who isn't?!), prepare to get jealous!



Nyah-nyah!      B)  I got my pic with Boba Fett! He's the MAN! I managed to get him on his commlink ad have him get on the job. He;s on the lookout for the square cardboard box as we speak. Jabba and Vader can wait this time!

[Rafael]

I knew it. Yesterday i saw a strange wheel-less car transit nearby. Good Luck!!!

I'm guessing that this pic was taken just before you became the filling in a carbonite sandwich??...          

[K5054NZ]

Yeah, but think about it - what if I didn't survive? I'm no good to him dead.




^_^ He simply is THE coolest. End of story.



Actually, he'd just managed to get me out of a tight spot with these jokers:



I told them that I wasn't the sentient they were looking for, and to just move along. Note to self - try to piss the Empire off as little as possible......

The chick on the left is an imposter, she's sporting a non-Imperial issued blaster (looks more like the ones used by the Alliance Commando's on Endor).

oops, went to the darkside again

whenever I can't find a prior in-progress project, I start a new one!

What JHM says is her choice. She can resume first model whenever it appears. The excitement of a new project is the right medicin for any modeler's frustration.
