Hi all I'm feeling a bit pissed off with my models i am modifying. lately alot of things have been going wrong with some of them like the estate i was doing, i had to take the extended piece off because the roof and window were to high,plus other things have been happening with them so Ive decided to give it a rest for a little while i haven't lost interest but i just need a break for a bit i will still buy parts for them so when i do get back into it but i just need a month or two off them i will still come on here daily but just wont be posting any pics I'm just pissed off with them at the minute tho.
Feeling a little like Roy
