Don’t you just hate when that happens. Not thats its happened to me of course [;)]
Well, at least not on the current build. YET.
I feel your pain!!! On my build of the Spindrift I did this not once, not twice, but three times!!! The last time I knew I was about to screw it up but couldn’'t stop my hand. It was a solid gloss orange. Sanding and patching the affected area just did not look good. Had to strip it down 3x! Aarg!
The kit has some minor fit issues so I went with the 5 digit clamp system. Darn solvent ran in right under my clamps.
All’s well that ends well.
One good thing, there was no detail there like a nice line of rivets.
I hate it when that happens to me. Hated it even more when it happens on an aircraft kit when rivets are involved. Look at the bright side, nIce save since no rivets were involved.
At least you weren’t using tube glue…right?
…but will he brush on Testors enamel straight from those little square bottles…?
If nothing else, this thread does provide a means of bonding
C,Mon now " G "
It’s so nice to know that I am not alone . Remember , I battle with age dumps in memory too .Five finger clamps just seem so natural though .
Plus if you weere run over by the vehicle they would know who the perp was , now wouldn’t they ? LOL.LOL. It’s All good " G " T.B.
Lol, I was thinking if you take your model to a show and then forget it they can always identify you as the owner from your print! [;)]
…and your model can ID a lost pet:

if you used pet hair ( or whiskers ) for a whip antenna. [;)]
My old buddy Airman Jim was in the radio shop at Barksdale AFB using the “electric pencil” to put his name on his tools.
Sergeant comes in,
“whatcha doin’ Boy?”
“Putting my name on my tools, Sir”.
“Issat so when they find it in the bowels of a destroyed million dollar engine, they know who to return it to?”.

Now that’s a good one . I had a buddy in the Mod Shop at Falcon Jet that was known to make statements like that . T.B.
He had some good ones. Another time, he and a buddy were returning to barracks and they decided to take a late night shortcut across the runways. They passed a hangar and saw a U-2 in there being serviced. Blue jeeps, AF Police, flashlights in their eyes- the works.
So his mom, poor old lady, got her daily letter to him returned with a stamp on it:
“Airman Incarcerated”.
She thought he’d gone up in flames…
Been there,done that, recently. Like this past weekend on a 1/48 scale F4U-1 cowling. It’s nice to know I have company. Tom
HA! that NEVER happend to me.
Hilarious. Foe me was those little bottles of Pactra, but I did use my share of Testors as well.
It’s funny some of the most elementary mishaps that still happen to us experienced modelers. lol. I haven’t done that in a while but I have done other stuff that fits into the “What tha…!!!” [:O] category. Airbrushing a part in the foreground with my 60-70% complete WIP in the background comes to mind. Now if that don’t make somebody cringe when they “snap to” and realize what’s goin’ on I don’t know what will.
I’m sure you’ll pull through that one fine G. [:D]
