Bad day at the office
« on: Today at 04:27:11 AM »
Bit of disaster getting some models out for the show on Sunday  :'(

Glass shelf collapsed onto the shelf of models below. A few minor damaged models which I'll get round to repairing, but sadly this lot bore the brunt of the impact and are probably for the scrap heap (or at least in need of major rebuilds) Represent about 12 months worth of modelling . . . .

Couple of figures on the Jasta diorama were damaged and the odd wheel on a couple of others which can be repaired with a bit of care, but sadly these are looking the worse for wear

That is a catastrophe without a doubt - a modellers nightmare. I do hope that you can restore at least a couple of them.

I also have glass shelves but I have made sure that they are stable - and now I know why!!

Cheers Stephen, These things happen ( I dropped a box of packed figures at a show many years ago causing some damage that was repairable) This little lot sadly will take some effort. As you say a couple should be repairable without the damage being visible, others are likely to be broken up for parts or re-built in other ways (I'm thinking the LVG is going to end up in a minor crash diorama . . . maybe) ???
