AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!! and I cant even blame Malamute or JollyBob

[Svennn]

I recently started another VSF creation and this afternoon spent an age drilling 64 holes and fitting 32 pins sticking the thing together.

To cut a long story short I had just finished spray undercoating it when I dropped it (still wet) about four foot onto a concrete floor.

I now have one hell of a repair job to do instead of starting the paintwork this evening.

Lambasting or sympathy gratefully recieved to help keep my mind off what a great chump I am.

I was going to ask for before and after shots but that would just be facetious,

If its any consolation I made and began painting a pegasus plastic ibza, dropped it and now have many painted bits to stick together again.

annoying isn't it

Ouch!

That hurts.  Know how it feels.  Put it back together better than the original!

[Malamute]

 

Oh go on blame me, blame me! I regularly get the blame for most things especially around the house from Mrs Malamute, so its no problem.

Sorry to hear about the accident.

[Skrapwelder]

I hate it when that happens. I glued my finger to a corner store last night.

On the bright side of things like this: I manage to do this a lot myself, but I have found that 9 times out of 10 I manage to improve my original design on the refit.

Have yourself a stiff drink, my boy - then back to it, full of British pluck!

[Calimero]

I soooo know what you mean…

As your Queen ("Gawd Bles' Her") just a little glass of gin, in true VSF spirit, and go back to fight : "you lost a battle, not the war..."

Courage,
Matt

You're British, aren't you? You don't want to hit the bottle, old thing. This is what you need to get down your neck...



Bad luck, mate. Happens to the best of us.

[Dewbakuk]

But is it a good creation?

I dropped my steamspider the other day. Fixed most of it, still got a leg and the chassis pieces that are still stuck to it to re-atach.

[JollyBob]

Whoops! Sorry to hear about that Svennn, hope you can get everything back together easily enough.




Hang on...

What else am I being blamed for? Because she told me she was twenty one... 

[Svennn]

Thanks guys.

I have had a couple of hours at it and its nearly there but I am having some difficulty recreating some resin parts. I am going to have a break and a think and hopefully sort it tomorrow night.

But is it a good creation?

You lot will be the judge of that if I ever get it finished.

Something to get off your chest JB?

And just to confirm it is Malamutes fault - he said so.

Oh, has anybody got any idea where I can get a 28mm Lionel Jeffries??

[twrchtrwyth]

Sorry to hear about the accident.

Who's Mr Jeffries?

[Plynkes]

British comic actor.  Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. First Men in the Moon. Royal Flash. Millions of other things.

[Chairface]

Freaking hell, that sucks.
