Pushing tin

As some of you may be aware, my health has not been at its best these last weeks. May be as a result of multiple reasons that lurk in my head from time to time and the natural stress they put into this thick skull of mine, pushing my body around to fulfill the daily tasks is sometimes a bit of an annoyance.

Worst of all, my dubious modeling skills have started to dwindle down the road to perdition. One of my last "secret" projects is at s standstill just because the thought of rigging a biplane sends shivers down my spine. Also, the paint job and decaling are some of the worst i've ever done in my not so humble point of view.

The only upsides in my life this time around have been a series of fortunate events, first of all to buy a lovely little mandolin wich, as the model kits, is more the victim than the igniter of my keen interest in things. I tossed an old friend out of my life because there was too much crap going on beetween us and hipocracy or mistrust are things I can not afford these days. And finally, life has begun to show a kinder face to me, even with these ups and downs that undermine not only my modeling eagerness but also my everyday life.

So, even with the dark clouds of uncertainty glooming in the horizon, there's always something to smile for, someone to think about and crave for, a certain model kit that's calling our modeling soul to go out and build it. In short, there's always the hope on things to come.

Have a merry Christmas everyone and hopefuly, the new year that is just around the corner might have a few surprises for us all.

Take care and until our next installment,

The Modeling Underdog
