I've done that before....some of the breaks look clean enough to repair. small touch up on the paint and you could use the shell as a shop queen. You know just one good end poking out of a stall or repair shop.
Whoa....that is too bad. Could have been much worse like a trip to the doc to have yourself patched up. I dont know how many times I have destroyed various projects with my "grace" in the past (not just models but expensive computer equipment as well). Stuff happens and yeah.....makes ya mad as heck but there is always tomorrow....and tomorrow is a new day, new start. Good luck with the salvage and here is looking at next time....GOD SPEED!!
I wont admit to anything, that's my story, and I'm stickin' with it! Better put a garage door opener on that window !
That is really bad to have that happen. I once spilled a bottle of paint on a loco, just at the same point you were. The paint was acrylic, but by the time I ran warm water over it it was still too late. I too used some "Colorful Metaphors" while stripping the Kato shell .
This is terrible. I have had some accidents too, but not as bad as this one. I have broken some couplers (never place a RS3 on the edge of a closet, even if the distance is not more than 1 ft to the ground...), and my cats have demolished several telephone poles and waiting passengers.... One of our clubmembers put a analog steamer on a DCC track. Well, the steam engine was producing real smoke......
Thieu, we had a similar event at a meet last spring. One of our members is also a very good custom painter and he had just finished a really nice Dark Future YN3 CSX Kato unit. Someone in the club put this custom painted analog engine on the CC tracks and it completely melted I'm not sure I would have taken that so well
