I'm in the red zone. I was wearing my apron, handling a tiny piece with tweezers. Glue applied. Part applied. Where did that tiny, f*cking little piece go to?!? It's not on the barrel. It's not on my hand or the tweezers. It's not on my apron.

To me, the red area represents cleaning mold seams and EPMs.

Pretty accurate for me. Except a new slice needs to be made for just sitting and gazing at the kit and the pieces and the tools just wondering what the hell to do...

The worst part of this is losing a piece, just to find it 2-3 builds later!

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I may spend so much time admiring what I just built, that I rarely have bench time left to drop a part, let alone have time to look for it

Having dropped several small, and large bits lately, I do know that I should have a bright LED attached to the bottom of my middle drawer on my work desk

I spend virtually all of my model building time either at work or ferrying my 2 older sons to and from basketball training or games.

Note to self: this would explain the growing list of unfinished campaign builds in the Hangar of Shame!
