Just one of those days

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right and you get so frustrated? Thats how I feel today. I start working on my 1/6, which Im not really interested in, and I broke off a chunck of foam by accident. And my jig is driving me nuts because the chassis keeps moving around. Then I go to work on another model and i break the windsheild frame. Right now I just went down to work on my '37 and I immediately got frustrated because I had to do some putty work.

One of those days where the littlest things set you off and it just snowballs. Like the fact that my welding helmet is in primer and I need yellow acrylic...which I thought I had, but I dont.

Must be time for another modelpalooza!
:iceslolan

man i hate when that happens and im sorry it happened to you :angryfire

Yea...I just threw my transmission for my scratchbuild across the room. Im thinking I shouldnt be working on models at all today.

Brian...I think you may be on to something.

EDIT: This is the fourth time I've edited this single post in the last 3 minutes from spelling/other errors...I cant even think striahgt

Start collecting stamps. Or play chess. Anything that doesn´t include tools,stuff that can break e.t.c. ( But you of course,probably had chopped and flamed the pieces on the board ;) )

Just came back to report that I have fixed the windsheild! First thing gone right today.

Your not the only one who's had stuff happen to their models today. I was working on my torino, after having it sit around for a few weeks, and BAM! The hood lands in some glue and now I have to strip it and repaint it which is going to set this back a good 2+ weeks. I was so hoping on being able to take some pictures of it tonight.

Just call it a day and go to bed. That's the only sure fire way to end a day like that.:bricks1:

One step forward two steps back... That's the way it works sometimes. :(
Don't lose your temper and make it worse!

:lol: Today went on fantastic for me! Got started on 3 models! And got soo much done!

:lol:

Hope that made you feel better Mike:lol:

I've been feeling that way for atleast a week I can't get any work done on my ITR so it's just sitting there getting dusty. :banghead:

Well, as Willimo says, I make everything overcomplicated, and then make it more complicated. That was happening with my 1/6. I was trying to make wire forms to try to set foam over...huge pain if you have ever attempted it. So I looked at some hot rods, and decided to just stack the fenders instead of wire forms. And just use would templates for the wheel wells.

So...I guess it was just one of those span of hours. All better now!

" shit happens "
I hate it when i think i've done a good putty job then after it all drys i find another f!@K up...

Hmm.. Tell me about having bad days. I tried to use a resin kit for a Skyline, but I just ended up getting frustrated with it, and broke the hood vent.

Still, that's what I get for being a little too clever..!! I've only built two models and this was my third build, just what was I thinking..!! :rolleyes:

I'm sure your bad day will go away. Mine did, i've started a porsche and I've just laid down a VERY good paint job.. My best to date in fact.. Sometimes you need bad days, it then makes you sit back and think - Hmm, time to take it easy and make a simple kit to ease the frustrations.

We all have those days mate so your not on ya own!!

Best just to walk away.....modelling is meant to be enjoyed and if its not happening at the time.....leave it untill you feel the time is right to start again.

Totally agree with P-man. When I have one of those days, I'll just put the model aside, and not continue building it until I felt like it again. There's no point of expressing your anger to the model and regret about it afterwards. :grinyes:
