While working on the resin CMK kit of the ward room for my Revell Uboat Type VIIC last nite there was a horrible accident.

While using a bit too much pressure (I admit that part totally) to hold a bulkhead in place while the CA was drying, I sent it to below crush depth.

The deck broke and numerous pieces went flying across my workbench. Fortunately there were no casualties except for me ego and pride and I was fortunate enough to find all of the pieces that did break off.

I am in the process of repairing what damage that I did and hopefully it will not ruin the integrety of the finished product and I can sail forth to victory over the stupidity of what I have done and that I will learn from it!

Thank you for listening to me!

Ouch! If the worst comes to the worst, claim it's depth charge damage...

Sorry to hear that, hope you find all the pieces... or you could do what Ripster said

Doug,
Your subject title scared the you-know-what out of me. Maybe I am getting old and senile but when I saw your post my heart skipped a beat and I quckly opened your post expecting to hear that a boat had gone down. So maybe you won't be offended if I tell you that I was kind of glad to see it was "only a model" I felt kind of foolish as I should have realized that I was on a modeling forum. Hope you find the lost pieces and successfully conduct repairs. Might be an opportunity to do a little scratchbuilding. At least that is what I tell myself when the carpet monster swallows up a piece of whatever I'm working on.
Good Luck!
Rob

Thinking about it after I posted it with the title, Cob, I realized what it looked like! Sorry about that but I can see what you mean very clearly.

As for the depth charge damage, I'm pretty sure I can fix everything. I just gotta stay calm and, if and when, I get a bit frustrated, take a break for about half hour, then come back to it.

This is the biggest piece of resin I've worked with, so this is a new experience for me.......

And not to forget to mention, I do believe I found all of the pieces that plumetted to the depths of the floor in my workshop.

I had the exact same reaction as COB. Double sigh of relief to also read on to find you have been able to find all pieces and repair damage. Just like a true submariner.

Away all Damage Control parties ! make all reports to damage contol central! this is not a drill!
