Modelling as Therapy.

This is typical of me.
In my therapy session on Tuesday I was asked if I could build and bring in to show to my therapist a model that I have built in the space of sessions. Not one I have just built but a fresh one. Easy I thought! Hang on though I can't do my airliners as they take me ages to do, I've stuffed up two recently, I dropped the 747 and I've gone two steps back, such is life and besides Airliners don't really show off much modelling when you think about it, mainly neatness and he knows that anyhow, though as mentioned before I live in chaos, I can't think of a flat surface which hasn't got some "rubbish" on it. Endless mags and books on the subjects I'm modelling at present. oops...
Sorry...Weds I went through my boxes of kits that are in the bedrooms after a bit of I found one that would be interesting and fun as well as showing a little bit of skill. The Airfix 48th Blackburn Buccanner. Brilliant! There was a fight for a while as my three Hasegawa Tomcats were fighting for the right to be built. The Bucc won out.

Okay, so I have my Bucc ready to go then I looked in the nana box we keep kits in and there was the paragon wheels/flaps and a Neo-mega cockpit set.
So I have spent the last three days painting cockpit switches and dials and cutting out the Airfix transfers of instrumentation, not just the proper one supplied but cutting out the artificial horizon and others, weathering the tub floor and painting cable and oxygen hoses and etc etc...

Some therapy. Maybe I need to be put on section again!

Ha! I knew it!!! My former therapist (I'm now graduated) was really thrown when I started showing him my creations, especially for someone with adhd! These hobbies are great therapy!! Thanks for sharing, Jeff

Shocking isnt it, a band of pure and virtuous model makers subjected to such depravity and filth... Im appalled, to say the least!

Now we must apply much correction to these two...I wonder if i can rig up a rotary cat-o-nine-tails to my compressor?
