I've learned that Spike spends entirely too much time in the basement.

Patti, the more time he spends there the sooner he gets done! HE should spend more time there.

Yah, I am not talking to HIM ANYMORE!

What I learned is the hardest part to make on the kit is always the next one. Once it's done, I realize it was easy!

Isn't that the EXACT truth!!! "Nothing is worse than the trim tab...oh just wait til you get to the fuel tanks! Nuh uh! Wait til you make the conical bend! That really sucks! Nah...mating the wings and drilling the rear spar...THAT'S a real killer! ...Oh...the looming canopy cut! Watch out!"
