The_Animal Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ever lost patience building your plane? Every stinkin' time!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Nothing feels better than literally crushing a project gone bad! A wise man knows when he's wasting time that could be better spent on something more pleasant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Felinoid Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Yep, test-flew a Kopro 1/48 Su-7 into the wall-twice! Still the worst build ever, imho. I got excited at the Eduard Su-7 until I realised it was a reboxing (albiet with lots of nice resin parts, etc). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ever lost patience building your plane? Been there, done that, got the wrecked Starfighter to prove it! :) Damn Revell "Dayglo Orange" ate the tip tanks. I snapped. And so did the F-104's wings. Of course, it was my fault. Should have pre-painted the dayglo parts in white. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 about once a year. My last one was a Ryan PT trainer that went flying across the room after trying to glue on some of the rigging, I marred a perfect chrome yellow wing. But it wasn't dead enough after it hit the wall. So I crushed it a few times with a dictionary. I literally went into a rage on that thing. It wasn't cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Blind Dog Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Often. . . but I put the model away and wait a while to return to it. Usually helps, though not always. cheers Old Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M. Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Once, and only once. I never threw it (other than in the trash bin, and it was the first kit I've ever binned). Wrote it up on my then-webpage (preserved for posterity and reference here: http://www.nakatomitower.com/model/a10.html) EDIT: Keep in mind I finished the Rodent some years later without a grunt or loss of cheer, but couldn't get halfway through this crappy kit.

HOLMES Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 was that for real ? OMG .....Not done that yet or lost patience with any models yet.... lost the will to build though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Often. . . but I put the model away and wait a while to return to it. Usually helps, though not always.cheers Old Blind Dog That just delays the inevitable. I'll just throw it against the wall the next time I start in on it. But, I find it more theraputic to shoot the model with a .22. Much more satisfying for me. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ro-Gar Hobbies Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Haven't done it lately, but oh yea, was working on a Monogram Typhoon that fought me all the way. I got to the decal portion and had problems with the kit decals and that was the last straw......it had its only flight ever......against the west wall of my hobby room! And of course my wife caught me.....only thing out of her was, I wish I had a camera. Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mumbles Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Shame to see what looks like a perfectly good F-19 kit trashed just for the sake of it. Ironically I once saw a very similar reaction to the exact same kit (wasn't me) involving an unfortunate glue/canopy interface. I once launched a Matchbox Sea Harrier at the wall, but that was a long time ago. Now I just put it down and walk away, and can truthfully state I have never binned a kit once I started on it (stopping working on it indefinitely though is an entirely different category.... ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rm20886 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Lost my cool with a project. Certainly I have. That is why I keep a well stocked drawer of fire crackers! Mights as well have some fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yep, smashed a 1/72 Starfighter that was fighting me every step of the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Didn't loose it while building the plane but did loose it with the ex-wife. Hasegawa F-100 was the closest thing at hand so it went supersonic at the wall. Funniest thing though, it hit perfectly flat against the wall and impaled the gear into the drywall and left an outline of a F-100 in the paint. I find if a kit doesn't cooperate, I just put it up and walk away. I guess you could say the same about my ex. Edited August 19, 2010 by Drifterdon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I haven't managed to lose my patience to the point where I've smashed an aircraft, but computer beware. One time, I got so ****** off with a computer I took a Louisville Slugger to it...and did a wonderful imitation of Sammy Sosa aiming for the ivy. No...the computer didn't survive, but I certainly was satisfied. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joeltc Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Mate that is pure gold! my stress usually comes after all the hard work is done and its time for a clear coat. And x10 for painting model cars too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AX 365 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I've never lost it with an airplane but I had a bunch of tiny pieces of turd that was supposed to be a 1/24 AMT 1973 Mustang Mach 1 when all the pieces of turd were assembled. The fit of those pieces was atrocious. No matter how many times I'd get frustrated and come back to it after setting it aside, I just couldn't polish that turd anymore. There was no Dukes of Hazzard flying car spectacles though. It just went straight to the garbage. Now flying golf clubs and having to climb a tree to recover my 7 iron, that's another story...

Cunumdrum61 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) I get the utimate revenge! After I destroy it and then I break down the parts and disolve them in some liquid glue and turn it all into a styrene putty. It donates it life so other models may be completed! I get satisfaction everytime I fill a gap with its remains! Edited August 19, 2010 by Cunumdrum61 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
