Yea, I usually feel that way about the time the plane is sitting in primer and I have to sand it. Really? Sanding?

Persevere!  Remember, the prize goes to the stupidly obstinate, um obsessive-compulsive, um, uh hard-working and patient.

The life of a model finish goes something like this.
new model......oh it's beautiful..great finish... great builder gotta love that shiny finish.

2 years later.     Cripes are you still flying that old dog.

Remember it's lonely in the front row, or so I've been told.

I was / read /told somewhere that a great finish is never completed its abandoned. Can't remember who said it but how true it is!

Also my Tbolt sat on the front row in year 5 and 6 of its life. This years will be a nice finish but front row? I dont know all I can do is my best.

" I read /told somewhere that a great finish is never completed its abandoned". Can't remember who said it but how true it is! I read it as well. I believe it was Randy Powell who stated it here. I think about that all the time I'm grinding away at the finish
