Having just found this cute little rascle of a dog on a busy A1 motorway(freeway) and nobody claiming him after two weeks of setteling in to our home.He decides to repay this gratitude with playing chew on my very old model of the Victory 25 years it has been with me man and boy AHH the memories.So now it is lucky i keep all the instruction sheets to help rebuild her maybe even a bit better with a few more years under the belt

Aw, dude.........I can feel your pain, mate, but at least you're looking on the bright side of things....I'll bet that puppy learned a few new words after the deed was done, though!

I have two dogs at home and they do some of the most irritating things. I feel your pain. But as my wife always tells me, they are only dogs.

So far in my household it's Wife 1, Dogs 2, Kids 0. The wife was "cleaning" up my work area and managed to smash up a LRDG truck. My older dog managed to take out some model I can't even recall now with his tail, and the young puppy decided to have my hard top Duce N a Half as a snack. Oh well, the joy they give, including the wife, makes up for a few disasters.

That is a cute puppy. He'll give you years of pleasure.

a GOOD WELL TRAINED DOG IS ONE OF LIFE'S GREATEST PLEASURES. tRAIN HIM WELL, AND KEEP BREAKABLES UP OUT OF REACH. tHE vICTORY LOOKS SALVAGABLE AND AS YOU SAY GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUINTY TO IMPROVE UPON YOUR INITAL WORK...WHICH THE WAY LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

Dog 0, Family 2, Fellow Boarding Students 20.... I just get really annoyed I start a model then someone breaks it !!!!!!! enough to drive you made. But hey at least you get some practice in.

Sorry about the model Keith,
but look at that cute little doggie face.
all together now----- "AWWwwwwwwww cute puppy."

On close inspection the damage is not as first thought With a bit of TLC and a lot of pins , plastic rod, and superglue should go back OK.Thought I was the only one who had trouble with the wife cleaning,when I know where everything is in that mess of my workbench.Still it,s not the same as my brother shooting my models with his airgun when we where kids HE LEARNED THE HARD WAY HA HA.

hello Keith,
My new pup Tigger the wonder Dog,eat my canopy for a Spitfire,i found in the next day outside in you know what pile.i now use a spray that smells like Ben-Gay around my work bench and shelves.he leaves it alone because of the smell.
Dogs are a joy,but ever so often the" DogDevil" gets in them.
Cheers,
Bruce

You suppose that stuff would keep SWMBO away from cleaing my work bench?

hello Rodger,
it might,but so would barbwire or claymore anti-personnel mines .
cheers,
Bruce

This is what a truly repentant puppy looks like. I hope the picture posts correctly....
BTW, that is a nice looking Victory. I'll bet you really make it shine now!

I'm just curious Bruce.....Did you retrieve the canopy ?

hello Steve,
no i left it there in the pile.Revell sent me a new one for FREE.tigger did not get his treat for the night.But i had to also clean up the pile. also.he now leaves my workbench alone,but every so often he looks like he is going to attack it.
cheers
Bruce
