annoying model story

[MrMiles]

i am working on a revell 1/25 scale dodge challenger RT. i just finished painting the engine compartment the body color for the challenger. i put the piece on top of the desk 

i was going to go in the other room while it dried, but i need my laptop cord.  i unplugged the cord, and i did not realize that it was tangled with my external monitor, so when i pulled it, the whole monitor fell and landed on the piece i just painted, throwing it onto the carpet. i picked up the piece and it was stuck with random carpet fibers and other gunk. i tried to quickly pull off what i could. thankfully i was able to get most of it off and was able to sand out the rest and respray after it dried. however, when the monitor fell it also landed on the exhaust and broke that in half. 

i couldnt get it perfect, but it will have to do. 

 

its the second piece that broke on me on this kit. i cant seem to find another one of these kits in 1/25 scale to replace the broken pieces. it seems to be a pretty rare kit

That's a real modeller, though......... more worried about the part than the crashed out monitor with paint on it now....

Miles, I feel for you there all over eBay but it will be a while before they hit stores unless a local hoppy shop has or can get it. I’m sure the first wave sold out..

That sucks!? At least it didn’t crush the body.?
