Unfortunately, I don't mean that in a good way.

The Mars Snooper toppled from it's perch to fall three feet and knock off one of the pods... again :twisted: This when I had put a first coat of Dope on her and was thinking I might finish her this week.

I found the Big Bertha pinned behind the hutch of the desk where one of the felines (I have good reason to believe) knocked it. I don't know how to describe the damages. but the easiest way is to say the fins are all cattywampus.

And the long suffering X-Wing Fighter :( when you see the pictures for this one, you are not going to believe it. I don't know if it is salvageable. I have no explanation for how it occurred other than my wife telling me she found the wing section tangled in a blanket. The force was strong with someone/thing on this occasion.

Out of five items ordered from Carr-McMaster, only one was what I really wanted/needed. Two more I may be able to use, with a third maybe needing the application modified. The fith item, some small, chemical resistant, PTFE O Rings I had hoped to use for an airbrush shooting Brodak Dope, are just too hard. And by the way, the one item I ordered which is just what I needed three of? only came in a pack of 50.

So if anyone needs some left handed,1/4"-20 nuts, I have 47. :|
some Water and Steam resistant EPDM O-Rings #219, I have 50. :x
some Water and Steam resistant EPDM O-Rings #320, I have 50. :evil:
some Ultra Chemical Resistant PTFE O-Rings #005, I have 24. :twisted:
