I JUST MADE A BID MISTAKE ON MY AIRPLANE,WELL AND I DONT WANT TO FEEL LIKE IM THE ONLY ONE WHO MESSES UP,[V]
I constantly lose stuff. Somewhere near or on my desk is a severed hand with a .45 in it. I had to hunt for spare grenades and shermanfreak was nice enough to send some.
What’d you do? It can probably be fixed.
HEY,
I cut the body in half on accident when i set my motor tool down, my cat stepped on it, turned it on, and it hit the mody and cut it all up.(not quite in half but close)
Randy
what did you do to the cat to make it so angry? Mom got a mouse in the shoe after whipping Mooch for being on the counter.
Come on panzer what did you do?
I’m sure Randy has you beat.
I glued myself to the cat.
that’d do it.
MINE cant be fixed,messed up while putting on putty,all kind of white stuff on the bottem,tried sanding,there is still some on,and , [#ditto]
cassibill,i lose alot of my parts,of my p-61 black widow,missing some ,and the box was messed up some 2,
To paraphrase my mom if you can’t get rid of it disguise it. What’s it on?
Touching wet paint.

Ever tried molted lead as ballast in the nose of an airplane…??? I did. I was 11 years old. Poor little Skyhawk…!
If it can’t be fixed destroy it further and make it into an accident Diorama or similar. [:p]
Got one mucked up Bike model that will sit in the workshop of a Bike Shop Dio I am planning. It will be up on the work table as if it is in mid-repair.
Sometimes it is fun to figure out how to “break” your models further.
Don’t give up and despair become creative.
the only mistake are ones that don’t look intentional.
You mean besides getting into modeling?
[:D][:D][:D][:D]
well ,my dad told me ,when he was young ,he blew up his models,or shot them with a bb gun,all because there wast enough room.
I DONT THINK I WILL.that model was about 33.00 bucks,half off,15.00,i got lucky,surprised me!!!AND IT WILL BE THE FIRST MODEL I WILL EVER COMPLETE,NOT COUNTING FIGURES!!![zzz]
Well, here’s a tale of my own stupidity from my early years in the model hobby:
I was eight or nine at the time and I had a 1/72 F-101 Voodoo on the go. I had run out of glue and didn’t want to walk to the mall a few blocks away to buy a new tube, I just wanted to get on with the model building.
In typical, impatient eight or nine year old fashion and a whole lot of not thinking, I took my fuselage and wing (still two separate components at the time) outside. I held the two parts together and held a magnifying glass between my model and the sun.[}:)]
I got the wing on, but the resulting weld seam made it look like it was on the losing end of a Star Trek phaser battle.[V]
Would have taken Voodoo to recover the kit from that technique.[:D]
Isn’t it illegal in some states to glue yourself to a cat?
I was helping one of my three sons build a snap-tite car kit one Christmas. He was going to paint it himself. First I was going to prime the body. I applied a coat of primer using a spray can. Got the primer on too thick and it ran in a few spots. Used oven cleaner to strip the primer off. All the primer came off except in one little stubborn spot. So I dipped the body into a container of lacquer thinner instead of paint thinner. Well it was sort of cool to watch styrene melt in front of my very eyes. The lacquer thinner was too hot for the unprotected plastic. Needless to say my son wasn’t too happy with me. I went out and bought another kit and we then proceeded to make the model without any further mishap!!

Well, I have had a lot of blunders, but I’d say that throwing the model against the wall is hard to beat for sheer stupidity. Strange to say, I felt better afterward. Some models don’t deserve to live. Sometimes you simply have to WALL 'EM! (Actually, I’ve only been mad enough to do this once.)
I got a nice (cheap) 1/72 B-25 once (actually it was the naval version)… This is the kind of kit that asks you cut out all the windows from the fuselage, right? I cut the wrong one. and it’s bigger than the clear piece of plastic that was meant to go in it… i i was about to throw it away when i figured i may need the spares one day or i may want to build a crashed plane, etc… [:)]
My cat had a habbit of sleeping on my table while I worked. The dog at my feet, and all is well. Anyway, the cat was getting in the way and I went to give him a shove, not knowing I had CA on my hand, I adhered my hand to his rear. To say the least, he lost some fur and I lost some blood when he woke up.
