DrNomis_44's Gold Standard STA-1M Build.

[DrNomis_44]

Update:


While doing some cleaning-up of my flat a couple of days ago, I stopped to move the Gold Strat body from where it was hanging up, to another place, as I casually examined it, I found out that what I had thought was a pretty serious ding in the body turned out to be less-serious than I had thought, so, I'm not going to junk the body after all since I think it is fix-able, the ding doesn't look to be as deep as I thought it was, what's more, the paint seems to have dried hard and can be sanded-back so it's flat, ready for another coat of fresh paint, I'm going to leave it for now because I still have a lot of cleaning-up to do, and, I have a House Inspection due at 2:30pm this afternoon, it is currently 6:37am and I am having my first coffee for the day, I'll let you guys know how it all goes, I'm keeping my computer online all day today though so I can read your comments when I take a break from cleaning my flat.

Doc, if we've learned anything in the last week or so its that hope is never lost. Take Andyxlh's RC4 as an example, binned, then resumed and now Schmick as Schmick can be. Gold Strat shall live!

Come to think of it, I think I remember reading his thread a few days ago, and I saw the trials and tribulations he went through with his build, so, what that teaches me is that if he is able to do it, so should I, trouble is, I tend to think the worst when things go wrong, I must learn to be more optimistic about things in future.

Ever since I joined, and became a member of this online forum, I have been learning more and more about myself as a person.
