So, much like the previous day I didn't get a ton of stuff done, but progress is progress and I like what I did manage. I guess what I really did was to assemble the model and use green stuff the way it should have been in the first place. Cleaned all the old green stuff out of the sockets, which was globbed in there like it was going to actually hold the model together on its own. Then scored both sides of the sockets with the tip of my hobby file, glued it with super glue and hit it with some accelerator.
After that had set for a few minutes I went over the areas where the joins were with some liquid green stuff by citadel, smoothed it out and manipulated it with a chump paint brush.
That's pretty much all I got done. I did save some of the plastic bit I'm going to be using from the garbage disposal too. My wife had thought that the cup of discolored water on the counter next to my coffee pot was just old paint water and tossed it out. I walk into the kitchen wondering if I'm going to get to clean the pieces off and start using them, only to find the cup empty! I asked her "did you... throw this simple green in this cup out..?" and she replies "oh yeah, that dirty water on the counter, I tossed that." She was a bit worried that I'd be really upset that they had been destroyed once I told her there were actually pieces I was using for this project in it. I suppose at the moment I was upset, but truly it wouldn't have been a deal. I do have some more models shipping to me soon with the same parts and they are just toy pieces anyway. I find myself to be more relaxed than some regarding situations like this I suppose. The good news is that she doesn't have the same knee jerk reaction I do after tossing something into the garbage disposal, which is to flick the switch and clear it out immediately because the pieces were still in the drain. One of them hadn't even made it past the rubber catch. Fortunate story I suppose, anyway that was day three. After this is up it'll be time to make the kids some breakfast and then I'm going to start working on it again.
