Was about to take photos on the concrtete drive way ( the best place for me)of my progress of my 6pdr and a bird emptied its guts on me. So i went inside to change my shirt and when i came back my dad had parked the car over the 6pdr!

Somehow, you have angered the modeling gods or maybe the gods had something else in mind for "Lil Sixie" as we liked to call her. She will be missed
They truly set in motion a course of events to succeed in their nefarious plans. You were a pawn, my friend, and I feel for you. Clean it up, pick apart the salvage, make your peace...and then re-make your piece.

...... ... ... :-)

Sorry, really. But being a Murphy, this stuff happens to me all the time!
Hang in there!

Hi Scott

Having a bird sh*t on you supposed to be Good luck!!

I don't know who first said that but, from your experience, probably someone who'd never had a bird sh*t on him or her!

There's not a lot you can say really... What a bummer!

Woooh My mum just saved the bacon. My cousins birthday is in a month or so and my mum had ordered 2 6pdrs from hannats... One for me and one for my cousin but she gave me his to replace the broken one. Phew..... Now all i need to do is somehow cancel the order from hannats for a new one.

I have an air rifle, I'll fly into your "neck of the woods" blast the bird out of existince and fly back.






















By the way, there will be a "nominal" fee
