The weirdest thing that happened to me when modeling was; the photographer hit on me big time because he liked how I looked in the Speedos.

Weirdest thing - happened 2 weeks ago, it was evening and during a thunder storm. I was fitting a tiny piece of model, when I suddenly thought to myself " I know what's gonna happen here! This tiny piece of plastic is going to ping out of the tweezers just as we get a power cut! "

Took an hour to find it when the lights came back on :o

Stupidest thing - Trying to superglue an elasticated antenna wire into place, holding the wire in tweezers it took what seemed like hours to get it into position. Then when I went to glue it, I found my other hand was super glued to the instruction sheet! So I called my wife, who lent over my back an placed a spot of glue on the wire. But when she tried to leave she found that she'd lent on the instructions as well and was stuck with me! :doh:
Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints!

I once finished a model that was weird.

All joking aside i used to model in a converted attic room at my mums as a kid and once around Christmas when i was about 15 i had a stash of beers :cheers2: i had taken from the family Christmas party and hid up there, i drank a few while painting my Lancaster bomber my Grandparents got me for Christmas and i fell down the hatch opening. Luckily i only sprained my ankle and got grounded for a week :lol:
On the bench is a Tamiya 1/32 F-14D Tomcat and it is the first model i have built since i was 14, back in 1995 :)
