Charlie , your SW7 paint job episode gave me a laugh .
The club situation here was a much smaller problem , nevertheless , it was decided we have an open house to show things off . There was very little scenery done over the 500+ feet of benchwork . I rounded up 4 other guys ( not all at once ) and we did a decent job of rugged scenery , trees ( we made 'em all ) , grass , shrubs , rock formations ( some molds but mostly hand done ) and after 8 months we had about 25% of the layout completed ....in time for the open house . The open house was a sensation for attendance ....about 1000 people who dropped $500 in donations . In addition to the 5 working members of the scenery delegation , there were about 20 other members on hand for the open house , crowd control , answering questions etc . All , of course , were enjoying the hand shakes and the back slapping of " a job well done " from the audience .
I couldn't help rolling my eyes at the scene . I guess there are glad-handers in most every group .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
