With the tiny 1 bedroom apartment we are in now I don't really have room for model storage. I have been asked to give up or rehome alot of them. I have kept my DW, revell screamer and 1 or 2 that go with holidays. My Father has agreed to house all the cars and rigs I have done. When I got to his house he had built shelvse and display cases. Very cool, he enjoys them more then I do! I have a few buddies that served in the USAF, they grabbed all the planes their hands could hold, like kids at Christmas. 
Oh but don't for one minute think I'm done building, I just cant do all the models I get my hands on. Yes that also meant I had to think about all those unopened boxes. It looks like I like to buy pickups but don't build them. I had 44. While looking through them all I found Davey. He sat in a box in the garage for a year or so. 
I sold most of the trucks without a problem, but Davey just kept hanging around. What a Weird-oh. I took this to mean, he wants to live here with me.
"So Davey if you want to get in, you got to fit in. You have to be so awesome the wife wants to keep you."
???What to do???
Without thinking I left the box open on the Kitchen counter. The wife asked about my plan for the military motor cycle?
I had no Idea,,wait,,?military motorcycle? Hold on! Now that she said Military.
The fit on poor Davey was way off. Lots of sanding and filling. And I finally cut the locator pins so Davey's face fit. What an ugly mug!
Had every thing planed out for paint but the deep red rattle can I had seized up. Then the dark blue did the same. I think the problem stemmed from storing them in a tote out in the tiny fenced yard. Tested all the rest of the paint and came up with a second paint color idea with working cans. Apple red, Olive drab, Cream and Cinnamon. Makes me hungry.
Davey is now painted and has been laying around for a week. Seems he's "in the way" all to often. I had lost the pants but found them again. Come on in a tiny apartment, things cant go to far.
I plan to finish Davey in the next week or so. It's raining and I have a whole day off this week.
