1 step forward 10 step's back...  :banghead:

Had recently sold on some kit's I wasn't likely to ever build and in doing so got to go through the stash of kit's that I have here and got some inspiration up and some enthusiasm to actually build something so I also started finding where most of my tools had been stashed, didn't find them all but I've found enough to make a start.
Well today started out good, I had made a few non model sales and had them all boxed up and on my way too the post office to send them, very bright sunny day so out come the shade's, dropped them, look down for a second to see where they went but sensed something wrong and looked back up to see a stationary taxi filling the windscreen, jumped on the brakes and dives to the left but just too late and smash!

There was no f'ing reason the taxi was just sitting there, there was no oncoming traffic etc... But I can't be too pissed about it because I wasn't looking so it was my fault, my partner and daughter were in the car and we all are unhurt, and lastly the car is still operational, it just looks horrible.

Not insured other than the compulsory third party and have no idea how much the taxi will cost to repair, so it looks like I'll need to be selling a lot more of my kit's than I wanted. And any potential modelling time will need to be spent learning about DIY panel beating instead. :banghead:

Thanks all :thumbsup:

Bit concerned about trauma with the little one, going to be keeping a close watch on her for a while.

Good idea. Metal can be fixed, take care of your family first. We'll be here when "normal" returns.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

Having gotten access to my old Photobucket account even though I cannot link directly from it I've taken some screenshots of old projects for other reasons, I shall put them all in here also if for no other reason than so I can have copies of them myself again. I will add more as I go when I get the time to do so.

That twinspitthingy will surely rock Tophes boat.. :D

I myself love the Lightningwing and the Buffspit. Grand stuff!! :wub:
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

The Buffspit was dubbed Gruffalo by Jaybee, the lightningwing I had named the C.A.C Boomerang II and is almost what my whole wiffworld is based on. Unfortunately I long ago deleted it's thread while in a period of deep depression, but one day hopefully I'll piece the story together enough to tell it. At least I hope so, considering about 3/4 of my future planned builds are based on it. :thumbsup:

Awesome!!
And depressions - they hit most of us. Especially the smarter percentile, actually. You're not alone.

Thanks  :thumbsup:

I did delete a very large portion of my history here at that time, including my original Flyers Projects thread, this here is MK2. There is much regret about doing so, a lot of stuff has gone forever.
