Nerdy geeky gluey painty stuck to plastic news
I am entering the International Plastic Modeller's Society national championships this weekend. Assuming I finish the entry in time. (Yes, there is an international plastic modeller's society and his has big competitions. Don't judge me.) The entry is called Tea Break of the Daleks. The model is of a dalek, with the top off, and the operator inside having a cup of tea. I wish I was better at painting faces...
And yes, I have stuck myself to it twice so far. I use good quality superglue with NO surface tension. It gets everywhere and you don't notice it. Until you hit it with accelerator. Know what happens then? A chain reaction of heat and adhesive mayhem. It hurts, and burns. You end up like a nerdy Gollum: "It BURNS us!!" while shaking the affected limb trying to get the bloody thing off you and allow air to the wound.
Sophisticate, that's me.
