OOC #26
Sorry I went quiet for a while...decided to spend some of my downtime building the Y-Wing model I've had sitting on my shelf for, like, five years. It was quite a bit more complex than I was expecting...LOTS of little fiddly bits that really didn't need to be individual pieces, they could have been molded onto larger pieces. But it looks pretty cool. I still need to clear-coat a couple of parts of the finished model before I call it done...but I like that I got it done without any major mishaps in the construction, considering how long it's been since I built a model anything, and that the instructions are in Japanese and I had to work entirely from the illustrations (which were pretty thorough...but I had to take several breaks because my eyes were bugging out from scrutinizing the pictures. If I decide to get back into building models, I really need to get a lighted magnifying lamp. This was a weird blend of "I feel like a kid again" and "Damn, I'm getting old-man eyes..."
