Modelling Tragedy

Dear forumites what follows is the most tragic example of Advanced Modelers Syndrome (AMS.) I just found this article in our local Newspaper. A local UPS driver made his usual stop at a home in a Denver suburb. He noticed that there was a mountain of previous deliveries stacked outside the adjoining garage. The driver also heard the sound of growling of a small canine in the garage. Fearing the worst he called the local police, fire & rescue and animal control. When they opened the garage the grisly sight before them was too bizarre for the local TV news people to broadcast. BE WARNED AMS IS DANGEROUS! I can't hardly bear it...As to the composition of the pieces for the garage The major pieces should be immediately visible. The 1/28 Revell Fokker Dr.I with a Clerget engine, The Monogram Red Baron Dragster. The all but one of the skeletons are Monogram items (Lil Coffin & Rommel's Rod.) One of the skeletons is a Fujimi mechanic carved down using a dremel motor tool. The rest of the items are from the Fujimi garage set, local Rail-Road hobby shop, Verlinden Cardboard boxes with model company logos on them. Resin crates with Model company decals applied. Happy Halloween!

There's more models built for this garage alone, than I've ever built.

Happy Halloween

Hmm, I wonder what became of all the previous deliveries?

I always get a chuckle out of seeing this, Stephen.
Happy Halloween!
Salute,
Steve

Hey Stevo,
Your creativity and sense of humor knows very few limitations. Can someone check the floor in that garage for a control horn from my 1 1/2 strutter?
