Made me cry

[Yahshu]

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.

Man, that hurts, are you going to repair it?

[1930fordpickup]

Yes , hurts just looking at your hard work gone. 

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Ouch, so sorry to see this.

I suspected that fresh air was bad for you.

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.

Not enough paint & thinner fumes mixed with the fresh air maybe

I hope there won't be a 2nd time & thanks

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.

[ChrisBcritter]

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.

Body damage is a bummer. Looks a lot like one I threw against the wall...... accidentally.

[berr13]

That hurts me, too!

[Bill J]

Sorry to see the super fine model smashed. Wishing you all the best getting it repaired.

[Lizard Racing]

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.

[Bucky]

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!

[Dentz]

I feel your pain. My wife was throwing her coat on last year and caught my big, beautiful 1/24 Airfix Spitfire with the arm... smashies!. still not done fixing it but hey, sometimes you wreck right?

wow, sorry to see this, looked like a lot of time in it.....

[webestang]

So sorry to hear that happened. Reminds me of when I moved into my apartment 2 years ago and had to repair several of my builds......

Twice? LOL

 

[Mr mopar]

To much Nitro in the tank ........... sorry to see that happen it's a awesome dodge that needs some repair , you can do it !

[Chitown]

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.

[stavanzer]

That must have been some gust of wind!!

Sorry to see that happen.

[Tom Geiger]

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!

[TonyK]

That sucks! Sure was a nice looking model you did. I enjoyed looking at the "before" pictures.

[ewetwo]

Yikes. So sorry it happened to you.

That's catastrophic, I feel for you, got to be thankful for small mercies one survived, I am, its still rebuildable & rebuilt it will be. 

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. 

[disabled modeler]

Sorry to hear that.... I know how you feel.  In 2011 we had a tornado here and windows to my model room got blown out along with most of mine sadly...some Ill never be able to get a hold of again or replace .
