Here's one that some of you may be able to relate to.
Houston ModelMania 2006 entry. Won First Place and Best Armor Model plaque at Calmex 2006. Unfortunately was partially melted in between shows and was busted at Houston show.
Tried to cover damaged area with stowage but no go. Judges did not fool around.
I guess I can maybe turn it into a destroyed tank and put it in a diorama or something. Any other ideas?

What got damaged? If you want,remove some roadwheels,and give it a solid coat of rust,end of war,3 years later.

The port aft corner of the top of the superstructure sank down as a result of one too many trips under the heat lamp. The are affected was under the flag and bedrolls. I guess that I can take part or all of the top of and insert an interior to use as a war-damaged tank but there are no interiors for Jag IV that I can find.
