Title: Copper state Taube
Post by: andyw on October 20, 2014, 10:00:57 PM: Final one for today. This is my favourite out of all my collection. Can you believe that my cat jumped on top of this when the rigging was almost done!!

As for the cat disaster, we see the model survived it, but what about the cat? ;)

And the cat? When my eyes were really sharp many years ago, I made and painted a really nice standard on a 15mm English Civil War figure. Then one night a cat we had bit/chewed it to destruction.

Best wishes
Nigel

I used to have two cats but was not building models at the time, which is probably just as well as they may have had to use all of their nine lives at once. I hope that yours survived.
