The less-than-brilliant modelling club

[Captain Blood]

Two times.

The first was a nice red. believe it or not, it hit the door more than 4 meters away.
Easily cleaned.

The second time, few weeks ago, was a dark earth pot, and it splashed all over the walls that were freshly painted few WEEKS before!
I had to run frantically to the cellar, retrieve the wall paint, run back at home, stir the paint, repaint the "camoed" surfaces, put away the wall paint, and say "Ciao darling, how are you?" while the door opens, in few minutes.
I think I lost some years of life...

40. Inadvertently painting the family pet.

The overly-curious tortoise-shell cat who nosed into freshly-painted camo vehicles usually got away unnoticed (you discovered dried paint in her fur while petting her later) but the enthusiastic white dog who knocked my palette off the table and onto his back was all too obvious. Add to the fact that he streaked away into the house, trailing bright colors like racing stripes behind him.

He bumped into the walls and the door-jamb (depositing paint on each) and was about to roll on the carpet like a mad-thing when I caught him.

I once lost the pilot out of a 1:144 aircraft cockpit - discovered it glued to the cat's back that evening. She's attacked the freshly-assembled plane and the little man fell out onto her. Had to cut it out with nail-scissors.

41. Setting fire to your hair.

Using the gas hob to solder parts of an M113 together. Bending down too close to the flame and setting fire to your fringe.

No harm done, but it was interesting to watch the cooked hair floating towards the ceiling.

I think we should have a LAF blooper tape of all these incidents

42.
Painting my new table top green on the ground in my garden on a sunny day. My dog watching me from the back doorway. When my neighbor came in through the porch opposite from the door, my dog sprinted from the door to greet him, crossing the newly wet painted surface, getting scared by my curses, sprinting back in to the house to hide from my wrath, leaving green paw prints everywhere....

No. 37

Your Greenstuff and/or Milliput sticking to EVERYTHING (fingers, tools, workbench etc.) other than the model you want it to stick to.

Oh seriously. Fuck this shit forever.

[FramFramson]

43. Trimming a bit of flash or a mold line from your plastic figure or model... oh wait that wasn't flash.

Dammit!

44. Spending weeks building and painting a ruined chapel

Only to drop it on the patio while taking it to the shed to be sealed.

[Drachenklinge]

actually there are quite some highlights around here. We definitly need a vote. 

And ... imagine that ... a guy, his flat and his pet ... to whom all that above happen to that single person. Will he survive?

46.  Not realising the garage door had blown shut and so was no longer quite so well ventilated. 100 minis later and i'm trying to cough up a lung. Oh and wearing a nice foundation that matched the minis

[Andym]

Please, please, please don't stop this club after a hundred entries! It's one of my favourite threads on here at the moment!

47. Not realising that excessive use of superglue (whilst building a spaceship) can cause an asthma attack...enough said

[von Lucky]

You use superglue?

...

Can we make this thread a sticky in workbench?

Nr 48. Buying agitator balls for the dripper bottles. They were supposed to be stainless steel... They were not and I ended up with 40+ pots of paint with rusting bits of metal in them
