It finally happened!

This is what happens when man becomes domesticated.... RobG (the Aussie one)

Indeed! Once that occurs, one can no longer go the bathroom in peace, or drive a two-seater car, or wear that favorite shirt with all the holes in it...

Look at it this way..... now you can start building battlefield "dioramas".... and a lockable plexiglass case... I still wonder how mine made to 9 in one piece. Paul

now is the time for a lock on the model room! That,and to start teaching him what models are and how to not touch yours lol

Ah! Now we get to part of the problem. Cop with wife in school, so house isn't really big enough but will remain our home until her graduation and we can afford a bigger one. Model collection has increased in size steadily while said house hasn't... To make matters worse, my collection started when I was single, so I didn't see anything wrong with 1/48. Now I sometimes wish I'd went with 1/72 to save some space. I've intentionally held off on building all of my 4-engine aircraft until we get a new house!

Sean

next time...tell her you have a headache,and go build a model!

I tried! But I was weak! She used her coercive feminine wiles and blindsided me! I was defenseless! :-)

Sean

Don't take that all tragic. That's natural . My kid broke few of my models in this age too. Just keep in mind that four or five years from now, you'll find yourself teaching him how to cut parts, sand, add glue and so on....... Best regards, Mario

Bet no one can beat a Iguana destroying models, one that took years to do and was your pride and joy

Baked Iguana??

Julian claimed:

My mother broke more of my models than either kid, the scottie or the cat. But by golly the models got dusted! Of course that was a long time ago and my workmanship wasn't too great back then,

This will be of no help, but a cat would have taken it out in less than a year and would have added insult to injury and by eating most of it too. For some reason plastic tastes good to them. I told customer support at Revell several years ago that I needed replacement parts for their 1/32 AH-64. I told them that I would like to say that they were missing, but that the truth was my cat ate them and wasn't even nice enough to get ill. Even though I offered to pay they were good folks and replaced them.

Mike

Ah, enjoy it. In 15 years or so, he'll be wrecking your car instead ...

Bill, isn't it the Night of the Iquana?
