I'm gonna share the miserable life of my first kit, A GTR Skyline 34 V-Spec...
Originaly built as a Box Stock Model, Bought around Aug 2000, Color was Red, Interior Stock.

As you can see, the windows are missing... due to a unfortunate shmelting accident. (I was quick drying it under a powerfull lamp...-_-")
2 years is sat on the top of my TV collecting dust, though once week i clean it.
Dec03... Just after finishing my 3rd Kit (Penzoil Skyline) with some leftover black i decided that i'll just redo the pain on the 34... also painted the wheels ash gray... still no wind sheild...
Apr this year i bought a VSpecII i was gonna make this a good one but due to an unfortunate falling from the balcony accident... i took what was left of it...
Put it on the black 34...
These pics were taken just this morning... wud you believe that this car fell 3 ft off a table?

I was gonna take a nice outdoor pics, so i brought my R34 & RX7 to the balcony table. took pics of the RX7 first and recived a message "Memory Card Full" went inside and pluged in another memcard... heard a horrible sound... and found the 34 dead on the floor... rear diffuser was in 5 pcs. bumper broke off and one wheel broke. lights went missing, broke some chassis parts... fixed it came out okay. but i was really pissed... sorry for the lack of pics...
The pics of my rx7 are found here... (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2107240)
I'm getting tired of messing my kits up... so maybe i'll go quit...
still i'll go here once in a while and gawk over the memebers awsome works...
TY...

Nice! I don't get it. What is making your models fall off tables? You? A cat? A sibling?

Great looking car. You are lucky though, as my friend had his porsche 959 fell off the balcony to the ground from 5th floor. was not a pretty sight :)

Please, don't stop modeling! Your models are beautifull! :eek:
...Can I suggest you just stop putting them into dangerous situations... :lol: If you like to throw your models, just make paper planes! I'm joking... But I'm really impressed by the nice finish of your work!
So, what's coming next? ;)

"I'm getting tired of messing my kits up... so maybe i'll go quit..."
why would you do a thing like that? that skyline looks amazing. i cant even tell it fell..paint is flawless...and the interior is sooo nice.
actually......i think i have dropped all my models LOL.
you have to look at the positive aspects of your models...and remember your mistakes for the next.
