Worst modelling mistake...
Thinking I could finish off the decals on my CLK GTR after 8 pints of Stella (can you get it in the US yet?? Alc5.2%) and a kebab (another brit thing).


Worst life mistake, thats another story (also includes Stella... And a bottle of absinth)

i think i figured out a theory as to what happened since i always paint my models on my balcony since i cant do it anywhere else i put it on the edge of the balcony to get full sunlight. i have been doing this 2 years and nothing ever happened but i think the wind blew it over to the street but when i checked it wasnt there or probably it got caugfht on a car and is in like vegas or something. but there is no wind its dead heat in Los Angeles (its summer what do you expect)

DOES ANYBODY AND I MEAN ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO TO REPLACE IT, I WAS THINK SOME STYRENE SHEET PLATIC ABOUT THE SAME WIDTH TO COVER IT UP BUT IF YOU HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION TELL ME!!!!

Before I spent the amount of money as I do now on models, I left a bunch of parts and the started model on the dining room table, after my mom told me not to or shed throw it out side, which I didnt believe she'd do, but I was wrong.. She threw it out into the middle of the street. Luckily I was still able to finish it, but with out the hood, engine, lights, and chassis parts, But its all good That was my worst mistake

P.S.- I think I ended up getting frustrated and breaking the rest of the parts myself

I didn't have to paint my first one. I had the snap-together kits.
