Oh man, we just finished moving into our house and as it turns out one of my dioramas is missing. I know I packed it into a small box but now it is nowhere to be found. What's even worse is that my wife remembers putting a few boxes out for the garbage man. I have that sick feeling that my diorama is now gone. Why oh why!

What you need here is a wife-sized box........... #:-)

Hard luck old chap..... cant be the nices feeling in the world!

That infernal female desire to throw things out!

Sorry to hear this Marty and MC. If this was unintentional, and it sounds as if it was, then, well, **it happens. But on the other hand....

Sorry to here the bad news nothing terrible has happened to me yet dont know what I would do probaly go #:-) crazy .

Holy cow -what a crush. Man the loss...... That's gotta hurt.
I would want anything to happen to any of my projects. One thing I try to do once I"m done is get some pictures taken so i have something that may last a bit longer.
I know my diorama wont last for ever. But man that's not the way they should go.

Marty !! It's sad to hear that. And i'm sorry for you

I hope u have time and possibilities to replace'em, in the future.

Garbage man probably took it home, and said to the neighbors, " My work is complete, it took me three years of long work!" He took credit for your dio!

~CHip #:-)

So sorry to hear about that guys, and to think I got upset when my 6 year old broke a part off of one that I was working on. The fine line is that all models can be fixed or replaced, but family can't. Hope it all works out in then....Ox

Al's right about wives and their eternal quest to throw things out. With mine, it is my supplies. I have a "lazy susan" in my paint booth, so I can turn and move my model when spraying. I keep the newsprint paper most on-line stores use for cushioning when sending kits. I place that over the "lazy susan" to protect it, and keep the booth cleaner. "She-who- must-be-obeyed" is constantly trying to throw out my stash of paper. I told her, "please, go upstairs and bake something."

Anyway, I thought you'd all be interested in hearing how I acquired my limp.

Thats bad news about the Dios, when I told the wife that people buy Dios she kept them and threw me out!

..my wife is NYPD, I know how you feel

Peter

maybe women are just designed to not understand the subtle and PAINSTAKING beauty of models

Why is it they always seem to throw out the guys stuff and not their own?????????????

I'm with plasticbattle here.....

I dunno. I'd like to see the wife first
All I know is that in thirty years from now your hands may be too shaky to make models, and your wife will still.... You know, that wife-sized box doesn't sound so bad after all !

Thanks guys. I will give my wife another chance but if she pulls a stunt like that again out she goes. :-)

u can rebuild the diorama max . in 30 days but looking for another wife will take longeeeeeeeeeerrrr...i am sorry for that but you can do a better one..take care buddy

bad times...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel the pain. i had the same thing some way. I did a move from Kingsville TX to Jacksonville, FL. I had a collection of C-130's probably about 15 total. Got to my new house and that one box was missing and the movers knew nothing. Years of work gone for every.

jesus men what a bad experience!!! The only loss i ve suffered till now is when an ex girlfriend we used to live together threw out a pack of pics (about 600) of my models, from exhibitions and shows or stages of work .But still i have the orininal prototypes!!!! of course this girls is an ex already!! My wife knows and is very carefull about my modelling stuff

Marty,
every cloud has a siliver lining really make you wife feel bad about it she may
buy you a little something to make up for it like some new kits!

Yep this could be a good reward. some new kits these ol books that costed a fortune and of course the brand new airgun that costed 300$..he hehehe

What a bummer! (thats a understatement). But your skills are better and you have more room for new ideas and subjects. I'm sure your wife feels bad and will make up for the losses.
