Harley, the picture you included of your Syren is stunning! I found your build log now and am really impressed and glad you didn't suffer worse damage with your recent ooopps. It happens to us all for sure, That Murphy guy never sleeps and he has so much fun at my house. I have thought about posting this story since it happened but was never sure where to post it, it fit so many of the different topics. It could have gone under, worst thing that has happened to you. But no, it wasn't worse than than the time I cut the tip of my index finger off. Or it could have gone under, things you hate to do, who is the most untidy builder, why do builds fail. It was a perfect storm. A perfect Murphy storm. I was working on a model of the galleon San Salvador. One bug-a-boo of modeling to me is drafting frames. Hate it. I had drafted the frames from the stern to mid-ships and was in the process of making the frames. My admiral came in to the shop one day and looked at the 20 gallon fish aquarium over my build bench and mentioned that might be a disaster waiting to happen. I think, "nah" but it begins to worry me so I decide to drain the aquarium and move it out of my shop. Naturally you move everything away from the area before you begin to drain the aquarium. After bailing out most of the water I am carrying the aquarium, when my untidiness catches up with me, trip spill. Where? Of course, onto where I moved the frame drafts to. Lovely. What are the counter tops in my shop made of? Medium density fiberboard, which just loves to soak up water. It was truly a dismal moment.
