so here I am working on my tamiya 1/16 german officer and I knock over a paint tin of chrome…
NOOOOOOOOO!!!1[B)]
managed to rescue the body, but my completed hat, boots and half completed head and arm were covered in metal.[V][V][xx(]
I was really impressed with how the hat had turned out too!!!
[:(!][:(!][:(!]
I just had to blow off some steam
Turn him into a Nazi Tinman!
You know you want too!
the face looks like the terminator…
I’lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!
Hysterical !
M-1,
Been there - you don’t want anyone to feel sorry -
just want to vent because you’re so p*ssed off you did it !
horrible luck. good to vent some times.
joe
lol, tough break.
I’d add some scratch built futuristic parts, and just make him a reborn Nazi cyborg-zombie [:D]
Maybe he could be a statue? [;)]
Hey what if you were building the morphing guy from the Terminator movie and you accidentally spilled a jar of flesh color on him? LOL!
Eric
well, I wiped lots of it from the parts and put a new base coat on them late last night. but a metallic glint still shows through… hopefully it goes away with shading.
Sorry to here that Chris. Not funny is it.
Keep well.
Those who suggested ‘terminator’ were reading my mind.
I’ve had this happen too many times. I am now very ‘meticulous’ when it comes to open jars. I used to just leave them around and inevitably they’d get knocked over (paint is frustrating, but liquid glue all over plastic parts makes a real mess!!) I still find myself ‘slipping’ every now and then, but I seem to be getting better.
Murray
he just looks like the terminator
half of his face has mostly chrome and the other hlaf is mostly flesh
I should take a picture…
I had a little airbrush accident the other day. Apparently stupid me didn’t get the cap on tight to the bottle and the next minute I noticed my hand was green from all the paint, and worse yet it dripped all over my shorts. It took me 4 washings with additional soaking to get it out. Lesson learned: Screw on the cap until it won’t tighten and never wear good clothes when painting.
Why not make him a California Governor shooting the movie Terminator!
Well think of all the practice your getting. Tough break.
I know its too late, but I place my paint jars in one of those plastic drawers from a knick knak cabinet like you see in the hardware stores. You know the ones that have 30 of those little clear plastic drawers… It provides stability and if you accidently bump the jar and do knock it over, its contained.
Sorry to hear of your misfortune Chris. Laugh about it and start again.
yep, i’ve started. I’m kinda committed to finish this figure by the next club meeting (tuesday) so I’ll have it done by then!!!
Bugger!
I’ve done that…more than once, as I recall…
well, I almost got it done. face isn’t as good as I would want but oh well, just have to do some accessories and a base and he’ll be finished!!!
Sorry to hear that Chris, I know the feeling.
