I've never had the steadiest hands so some aspects of painting can be a real headache. (I'd probably suck at that game Operation, which I always wanted to play but no one ever had a working version of, or they didn't have batteries.  Dammit! I still want to play that stupid game.)   As much as I love painting tall ships, when it comes to painting the thin lines my efforts end up looking like those of a 80 year old woman with Parkinson's that's high on caffiene and suffering from crack withdrawal.

I still have problems signing my bloody name, too, but now I have a little rubber pencil-looking tool that I usually use while the paint's still wet so it makes my life a lot easier.  I just have a hard time controlling small brushes.

Also, on an unrelated note, a well-said diatribe about the disaster down south:
