Found this today while I was looking for a hobby shop closer to my new apartment, thought it was funny.

Started on the Corolla WRC today. Ran out of fricking spray primmer when I was JUST about done the body! So close, bloody 'ell. I'll have to run out and pick up some more tomorrow.

Dear God,
Grant me the Serenity to accept
kits with structural defects that I cannot correct,
The Dexterity not to glue my fingers to the photo etched (or the cat),
An Artistic Eye to view dirt and pet fur airbrushed on to
the surface of my model as "texture",
The Ability to participate in competitions without
treating them as a life and death event,
Respect to see a fellow modeller’s work as
equivalent or better than my own,
Pride in knowing that I did my best despite knowing how badly it sucks,
Strength in my knees and elbows for the hours
I spend crawling around on the floor looking
for the most important, minute part,
The Decency not to read the ‘Tamiya’ catalogue
during Sunday family sit down dinner,
Commitment to attend my child's birth, ballet recital, little league
game, parent teacher conference, or high school graduation,
rather than go to that "great model swap" meet,
The Resources to be able to finance my hobby
and child's college tuition (not just the former),
Courtesy not to have the TV permanently set to the "Motorsport" channel,
The Courage to walk past my workbench
without sitting down to work on that R34 GT-R
when I'm running late for work,
And the Wisdom to know the difference
Between "come to bed now" meaning, "let's have some fun"
and "come to bed NOW" meaning "that model has got to go!”
AMEN
