Model Forum / General / Models / December 2005Plastic Bugs and Nylon Stockings
After reading all the posts about the Plastic Bugs eating those parts as they hit the floor, I vowed it would not happen to me again. That didn't last long. A very tiny part hit the rug yesterday afternoon and after searching for 15 minutes, I remembered reading something in FSM about taping a piece of womens nylon stockings to the end of a vacuum cleaner nozzle. As there was no hope of getting a replacement part, I gave it a try. IT ACTUALLY WORKED and only took about 10 minutes. The vacuum sucked it up and the nylon stocking held it neatly at the head of the nozzle. ONE BUG DEFEATED, millions to go...... > After reading all the posts about the Plastic Bugs eating those parts > as they hit the floor, I vowed it would not happen to me again.

You think everything is OK now ? Wait till the wifey finds out ! The really funny part would be if I were to try that,since I'm not married and my girlfriend never wears stockings.I can just see it now,walking into the lingerie department in that trench coat,hat pulled down to hide my face."Yes I'd like a pair of nylons please.Oh it's for me,but it's not what you think...I use them to suck up loose model parts..." > The really funny part would be if I were to try that,since I'm not > married and my girlfriend never wears stockings.I can just see it > now,walking into the lingerie department in that trench coat,hat pulled > down to hide my face."Yes I'd like a pair of nylons please.Oh it's for > me,but it's not what you think...I use them to suck up loose model > parts..." Uh, why don't you check out those big plastic eggs in the local convenience store? Pantyhose, stockings - it matters not what their original purpose was, you're using them for The Hobby. The clerk will never know the difference. ;) Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. True...but I don't want to know how many of the men here use them outside of the hobby ;-) > True...but I don't want to know how many of the men here use them > outside of the hobby ;-) Me either! :D Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >>True...but I don't want to know how many of the men here use them >>outside of the hobby ;-) > > Me either! :D > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. Well ,I just happen to know a guy who works on a cattle station here in Australia that wears panty hose under his work jeans while mustering on horse back ,he claims they prevent chaffing and saddle sores from long hours on horseback .Seeing as most mustering is done by helicopter nowadays ,I guess his backside has gone "soft". They only uses horses in real thick scrub where the cattle 'bail up' and ignore the horns and sirens on the helicopters and refuse to budge . That's his story anyway . >>> True...but I don't want to know how many of the men here use them >>> outside of the hobby ;-) [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > That's his story anyway . Yeh - but the suspender belt and basque give the game away!! <g> Ken >>> True...but I don't want to know how many of the men here use them >>> outside of the hobby ;-) [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > That's his story anyway . It makes sense if you're out in the cold all day. We had a news report a few years back where the male London market traders wore tights in winter. As those things aren't sexy at all it doesn't mess with the mind so much! ;-) Richard. >>>> True...but I don't want to know how many of the men here use them >>>> outside of the hobby ;-) [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Richard. Joe Namath, former QB of the New York Jets, wore panty hose for the warmth. Or so I've been told.

Pete That's okay so long as he doesn't then go on about getting Cuban heeled seamed stockings straight and which suspender/garter belt to go with them! That's when the Sideshow Bob shudder hits you! Richard. I've heard of hunters doing that, too. Ask a woman about how hot they are during the Summer! Actually those drawers worn under tunics in the Middle Ages may not have been all that different. Without elastic they needed a belt with points to hold them up. Either that or the author was having some weird fun with his readers.

Put on a cleric's outfit and you'll be fine! It's worth gettinghold of the Father Ted comedy series Christmas Special to see what I mean.
