My best paintjob to date...

...and my wife turns on the stove without looking at what was drying in there! I guess I'm part to blame for putting them in there. My stove, with the oven lights on, makes a great dehydrator. But turn on the heat and you're pretty much screwed.

Thankfully my $10 Revell's were not harmed. Just two of my favorite models! Whew! Bonus points if anyone can figure out what kits these were! The black one is a rare, out of production kit that I found in an old hobby shop, tucked in the back.

On a side note, what should I do with 2 models that are complete, except for the bodies? Not that a body is that important to a model.

use the left over parts for some frankenstein builds. That top one looks like a ferrari. If it had a full engine, that would make an awesome swap into lots of kits!!!!

For the Ferrari, order a new body (and any body parts you need) from Revell.com's website. You can do the same if it's a Tamiya kit by calling the # on their website.

For the black glob, not sure what to do, unless I know what it is. Is is a BMW? I think I see two nostrils.

They are both Tamiya kits. The red one is the 360 Modena and the black one is the Opel Calibra Cliff DTM car. I guess I'll finally learn about kitbashing.

The top one is a Ferrari 360 Modena Hardtop and the bottom is.... I dunno... a Viper? Get replacement bodies and paint after dinner :-)

Yeah, call Tamiya. If Tamiya USA doesn't have either, then send an email to [email protected]

[blubaja]

You're right. The paint really does look great

SO I have to ask, who did you get mad at, yourself or your wife?! Sorry to hear about the rare one. Maybe someone out there has an avenue to help you out?!

[voyageur]

D'oh! Rotten luck!

The bodies could be a start for a crash diorama...or a piece of modern art.
Just do something with it...don't throw it away before you tried.

Cheers

[EDIT]Just came to my mind, isn't there a transformers' thread/groupbuild about to be started?

Both. In hindsight, it probably wasn't the best place to dry out a model. I'm going to check the LHS today. I think they may have had one somewhere in there.

That would be one hell of a crash! I'm thinking I can use the 360 wheels on a Revell that I'm building. The Cliff wheels will probably end up on my Mustang GT-R, so it's not all bad. I for sure won't throw anything out, and most of it will wind up somewhere. But now I have to go out and buy another model.

Ouch I love the smell of melted plastic in the morning Maybe next time just put a sign on the stove as a reminder.

[willimo]

Oof! At least the photos of the carnage are excellent.

That's like winning the consolation prize....

Sadly, no.

Ha ha, yes I learned the stove isn't a perfect dehydrator. And to save my "rare" models in the boxes and not take them out to build.
