    Puzzle Passion

    I visit many cities during a month (because my work). So I usually visit different toy shops looking for some LR. You never know where you can found them...

    Taking a look, this image calls my attention o_O

    I’m doing a train layout, so....why not? :P

    Will look nice once I have my little place for the locomotives and other train items.

    Have you any advice or suggestion? Is better to start with the parts etched? Enamels or acrylics? How I weathering it...?

    Not!! Seriously....some of you do puzzles?

    This one will be my first one ops:

        Today I was talking about puzzles with a friend. She explains me a curious thing... Maybe is an "urban legend", tradition or superstition...? O_o

        She said a puzzle never must be finish!

        You can build all, but always you must leave just the last piece....

        Anyway, I'm nearly to finish mine, no more than ninety pieces, so maybe I will take this advice and leave one piece

            The trick is as you put the the last piece in you simultaneously take another piece out.

            Failing that ignore superstitious nonsense and just finish it (at your peril) just covering my back there I don't believe in superstition, well I almost don't, you never know

              Good job I'm not around your jigsaw puzzle as I always pinch 1 piece from the pile at the start. Then whoever is doing the jigsaw after they have got highly frustrated and given up on finding the last piece when their back is turned I sneak the last piece in but add this can lead to bruised arms from the other half so I do not recommend this practice although I find it amusing

                  Good morning guys.

                  Errh...seems I take really seriously this break on the modelling ops: Maybe the most curious thing is that I still buying kits for my new ideas....but I don’t know exactly “when” I will return to the bench :P

                  Some days ago I finished the train one, and I have build another different one too ops: and this is my new “victim” in a few words....I’m doing puzzles all the day
