Return of the Zombie Cossie

[Bangai-o]

I feel so sorry for you, not to rub it in but it was finished for cripes sakes! My comiserations, I hope this never happens to me!

[supermod04]

that sucks so bad......that thing is super detailed! i know you can fix it !! bring it back!!

[lotus_man]

Oh man, that was so close to done, I feel for you.

You need to get a lockable work room.

[Toughbeard]

auch!

I am not telling my wife but this is why I dont want kids but I guess one day or another it will happen... I guess I should start making some non painnted car kits for the kid to smash and play with...

I am sure you will get it fixed as it doesnot look too ad from teh photo. hope the body is ok.

Best of luck to you. And please do finish it.

[ImolaEK]

Yea man that sucks, did the body get messed up? It doesn't look tooooo bad, to tell you the truth i thought you were updating it until i realized what the new name of the thread was

[willimo]

Yikes! There's a lot proken, but none of it looks beyond repair... After the initial shock wears off we can assess damage better.... That's really too bad, this was a great build, just absolutely awesome. I can't imagine you having any trouble getting it back together, not with the level of skill you were exhibiting with the original build.

[Howielong]

Damn Don't you hate little kids. I fell your pain.

Hope all the parts are there and you dont have to wait for them to 'pass through', if you know what I mean.

Tommi's Cossie is *NOT*Dead it will reborn like a PHOENIX !!!!

After that dissapointed day, i am sure you will find the force to rebuild it fast and beauty

[RallyRaider]

Thanks for the sympathy guys. More than I'm getting at home right now

Fortunately he only got hold of the chassis, left the body alone, he was interested in the wheels more than anything. It should be mostly recoverable but a lot of work and I don’t have the heart to even look it right now. I've found all the pieces, none will need to ‘pass through’ (that's a nasty thought p9o1r1sche). There are lots of chips, scratches and cracks so even if I fix the obvious breakages it will never be the same. I did take some photos of the chassis for the Rallycar comp just before the meltdown so that is lucky I suppose.

Life does indeed suck at the moment, I’d been operating on only 3-4 hours of sleep a night for the last week and a half to get it finished by today. Only had a couple of hours to go…

Zeljko – I remember your mishap with the Pug, you ended up winning the National title with the rebuilt model didn’t you?

[supermod04]

well this i guess is one of the reasons i dont want kids when i am older! LOL, i have a little sister(2) and a brother (7) but i do all my work in the shop, and so i am lucky they cant get ahold of it!

[hrmodeler]

Yes Phil I was lucky to finish it on time and on my luck I had unopened 01 kit from which I new body.

[RallyRaider]

Hey Zeljko, how long till entries close? I'm doing allnighter to patch the Zombie Cossie back together. Only taking a break now because I just sliced my thumb open with a modelling knife When things go bad...

[lotus_man]

Good man! We want to see it done!

Know you you feel with the finger, was cutting decals with a brand new blade last week when I knocked it off the table. Reacion was to close my legs to catch it, as I thought it was a model part. Result - brand new No. 11 blade stuck straight into my thigh!
