Once again waiting for paint to dry...

You find a modeling genie lamp. The genie grant you three wishes. However, the wishes has to be modeling related. What would it be?

Whoa, this is just for me! If I could have three wishes, they would be:

1. No dust. To have a completely dustfree modeling and display area would be bliss.

2. Flawless models. I'm not talkin about "perfect" models, I think there's no such a thing. But to be able to build models without that mandatory dumb mistake would be nice. An example: If you get construction right, you most probably mess up painting it. If painting goes right, you goof with decals. And if decals go on without problems, the flat coat you spray on is really grey primer ...you get the picture.

(I think this wish is impossible in reality. If you managed to build the 'flawless' model, Murphy's law will kick in when you're placing your latest creation in the shelf, dropping the whole thing. More fragile a model = higher the probability of dropping it)

3. Get rid of the carpet monster. I think everybody hates that frequent routine of crawling on the floor, trying to find some lost microscopic PE parts.

Wish 1, TIME. Time enough to spend as much of it on our hobby as we like.

Wish 2, SPACE. A space to build and display my models without interuption. To have this area dust free and dog hair free would be a added plus, but I doubt THAT wish would come true.

Wish 3, FRIENDS. I wish to continue to enjoy the friendship of folks like those here on Armormama, and my local modeling clubs. I got into this hobby to have something to do, I never expected to meet so many wonderful people from all over the world.
