Excuses for failure!
#10: it’s all Stephen’s fault!
It's okay though, because a solution is imminent! Watch this space...
#9: how many times can I get away with “this is my first time”?
I'm really rather hoping that the answer is 'a lot', because it would seem that I'm not particularly good at most things!
#8: I used the wrong primer!
For rough work like I'm planning it's probably a good idea to start from a durable base coat that can withstand some punishment. I didn't do that!
#7: I couldn’t find the parts!
Top Amateur Tip: attempting to scratch build with the box from a frozen pizza might not always be the best idea!
#6: priority management is not my strong point
My other weaknesses include a poor perception of time, the inability to fly and an incredible capacity for chocolate biscuits.
#5: I simply stopped caring
I don't think I've painted a model this badly since I was about eleven years old. I'm not proud of what I have achieved!
#4: redecorating came first
After the decorating was finished I decided that lizards were better than elves.
