    Oh dear! When trying to do some modelling this morning I dropped a 500ml tin of gloss varnish on my station building and platform. Did I; a) Swear but stay calm & plan a recovery action. b). Swear profusely and bin the dripping model in a fit of anger. c) Burst into tears, leave the shed, slam the door and say "S*d this modelling lark."

      All of the above. Then sit back calmly and consider what can bo done to retrieve the situation. Things are not so bad as when seen first glance.
