My 1st Real Model
I jumped right in.....finishing the partially started Alfa Romeo GTV that my boyfreind bought to build for me...he had part of the engine done, some body painting and a few other odd peices painted.....
its going quite smoothly.... I learned why you shouldnt cut things off the tree using your thumb to sheild the knife from the other parts..... and of course its my right thumb that I buried the blade into....you know...you never EVER realize how much you use a digit until you get a stabbing pain every time you touch something with said pad of finger... It hurts to turn the key in my ignition now...I feel like quite a buffoon... oh and plastic cement in said gaping wound really sucks too... but all in all i have most of the engine done and in, my exhaust looks fabulous if i do say so myself my current dilemma: My boyfreind had the interior half painted in the Grey colour that the instructions suggested... and I continued, then had an almightly epiphany, my father's 79 Alfa GTV has a tan leather interior, this thing would look alot better with a tan interior... so now I can either continue on with the grey that is all painted and doesnt look _that_ bad......or repaint the entire interior tan  ah well...back to the suspension....

I have a scar on my left index finger from that.
 You learn to just mar your desk! I just bought a cutting pad from the fabric store, too... What color is it gonna be?
