What A Mess!

I am packing up to move to a remodeled abode and I got most of the completed models packed then started on the spare parts. I bought two smaller tubs for this and one of these is filling up more rapidly than expected. The parts on the trees are one thing but the ones floating around loose are another and then you have all the non-model parts that seem like something that can be Whiifed into a great model.
It's amazing how much crap you can build up in a one bedroom apartment! We have a place call Gods Store House that unlike other 'Charitable" places does not sell your donations but actually passes them on to people who can really use them. They see me coming now and roll out a big cart as I have donated old toys, (My son's), clothing, dishes and silverware I've never used, (One person doesn't need eight sets of plates, bread plates and cups) and other household goods.
So it's going to be hit or miss on when I get all my computer and landline and stuff back up and running.
I'll probably be missed like a sore tooth here. :lol:

Luck with your move Go4fun

You never know how much stuff you have until you have to move!

This is what you do...
Put all the stuff you use everyday into one pile. Put all the stuff you use once and a while into another pile. Put the stuff you never use into a third pile and throw the last two piles away.

Do this again when you unpack at the new place.

And when the chuck-out piles include kits, please remember the Poor and Starvin' Waifs on this site... :rolleyes: :lol:

What about the stuff that might come in useful?

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I don't have a garden, just as well as I don't like gardening  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Aye! Only the one! ;D
Although, was tempted to get another, as its stuffed to the gills with bike parts.
Was given a firm NO, from the boss of our house!
She didn't like the shade of 'grey' and the big 'COSCO' logo on the side, so it was painted a subtle shade of green last weekend, to 'blend in' to the background.
Unfortunately, the green oxide wasn't quite as subtle as she'd hoped. :rolleyes:

Friend of mine lives on a hill and dug an 80' into the hillside.  He put all his good furniture in it while he built the house.
Mice ate all the upholstery...

My niece uses a shipping container as the extension to her shop. She does "horsey things" and runs the stables on the farm. They spruce up surprisingly well and with lighting looks good. It was dead cheap as I think it quite literally fell of the back of a lorry  :rolleyes:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
