Yahshu Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Seems as though I had a wee accident, I cried. Was sitting on the TV base, the TV's sitting in front of an open window, big gust of wind caught the TV, model on the floor, TV on top.

Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Ouch, so sorry to see this. I suspected that fresh air was bad for you. Edited April 28, 2019 by Modelbuilder Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) That really hits home. So sorry to see this happen. Similar thing happened to one of my 1/12 Moto GP builds, twice. After the second time I decided to make a crash diorama out of it. Good luck with the repair. Edited April 28, 2019 by Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Damm man, that is sad. She was a beautiful model and that would have ruined my day. I admire your attitude deciding to rebuild her. It should make a really fascinating thread if you do one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Man, that sucks big time - plus now you need a new TV. Looks like with a lot of very careful drilling and pinning the broken areas, and some equally careful touchups and fresh BMF to cover the joints on the pillars, it would be savable. Don't give up! We're pulling for you. Edited April 28, 2019 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Body damage is a bummer. Looks a lot like one I threw against the wall...... accidentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Sorry to see the super fine model smashed. Wishing you all the best getting it repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Racing Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 You would think the bigger TV would fall faster and the car land on top of it. But the bread always lands jelly-side down also. Lots of luck with the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Sorry to hear of your bad fortune with the great looking Dodge! I had a similar mishap due to an act of nature....if you can call a former wife slamming a Jo-Han '68 Caddy convertible straight down to the floor an act of nature! I still have the (rebuilt) Caddy, tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentz Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) I feel your pain.

Chitown Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Man that sucks! So sorry to see that happen, just one of those off-guard moments I guess. I've always liked that kit since my older brother and I built one together in the early '70s - I always got to build the motor (not seen so much). Wanted to track down a rebuilder for quite a while now. I think I saw a resin body available a few years ago, but can't find it anymore. Looks like with your skills you'll be able to pull it through. It was definitely beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 And we've all had our model room disasters! Exhibit A -- My model room BEFORE Exhibit B -- My Model Room AFTER the shelves came tumbling down . And a survivor! 1950 Ford pickup was shielded by the bottom shelf sitting on top of eXacto knife boxes! Just got the front bumper torn off!

Bucky, an x wife is a force of nature not to be messed with, I've had 2. My 1st destroyed models, my 2nd stole them. Chitown, Time Machine Resin had the body & tinwork, don't know if they still do. Thank you all for your commiserations, the Revellion will be rebuilt, after all, it is a model of the very 1st model I ever built but somewhat improved over the 1st edition, there are already upgrades planned for the 3rd edition.
