Ernie Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi Scale guysWould you believe it?My wife's big fat bum has just knocked the half finished fuselage of my lovely 1/4 scale Fokker E111 onto the bedroom floor. It's not any old Fokker, but a true beauty in the making. Five broken formers at the back, and the whole lot will probably have to be all jigged up again. There must be a humane solution to this sort of behaviour.ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytilbroke Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well now, if y'all old fashioned and y'got the promise > love, honour and obey < then " take a long walk on a short pier " dear, springs to mind. Nah, too drastic, was'nt a whole model. Just get her a bunch of flowers to make up for your language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Dad knew a flyer once who built in the bedroom. Sawdust everywhere....One day he sprayed a wing and just out it on the bedspread and sprayed. It left a wing outline on the bedspread....his marriage didn't last long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Taylor Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Dear Ernie Everyone knows that once you get married, there's no more Fokker in the bedroom.Ali Ps - Christmas is coming - ask Santa for a bigger shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Lynock Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Commiserations Ernie, do as I did mate and start with a small desk in the corner of the dining room then add a filing cabinet then a wood rack and some shelves for the books then a bench to work on then a rack to store the paint and stuff then throw the table and chairs out into the kitchen.This gives space for lots more stuff but you need to get rid of the curtains as they collect dust so replace them with roller blinds and chuck that bloody carpet out too, dining room lights are useless to work under so store them in the shed and fit big fluorescents with a spot light or two, thats what I did twenty years ago and my missus is still talking to me.Mind you I made about 25 grand building ship models for museums so perhaps that has something to do with it, regards, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The real Ron Truth Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 why did you have the model in the bedroom? your asking for trouble!!. I did once ask if I could hang my 1/4 scale pup over the bed to give me something to look at but strangely she said no.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence Lynock Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi Eric, I nicked the small bedroom for my computer, books and stuff to keep them free of dust even though there was room in my workroom for them, we have two cats both long haired a Persian and half-Persian tortoiseshell so models end up looking a bit akin to a Wooly Mammoth.I have never been a fan of WW1 aircraft but have taken a fancy to building the Focker DR1 and Soppy in the latest two mag issues so perhaps there is still hope for me yet Ernie old mate! not everything in life has to have a Bristol Centaurus bolted on the sharp end, regards, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi guys,I don't use the bedroom as a workshop. I do have cave to play in. I just like looking at my fokker.ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
