What a great time for terrible situation. Last night, I was airbrushing my TYPE-61 Tank and getting it ready for Tamiyacon. Paint cup half full of paint, paint job looking decent. WHEN !!!! WHEN IT ALL CAME CRASHING TO A HALT. Not the type of "michelin stopping on a dime", more like " the car stopped once it went through the fence and into someones living room and plowing half way through the kitchen" type of stop.

My compressor went to meet its maker , leaving me without a backup. . So, as I was about to put down my airbrush, in walks,,no,,,runs my wifes chihuahua rat dog from hell. Little maggot bites onto the hose line and " its off to the races boys " !!!

Which in turn, knocks down the airbrush, spilling paint as it begins its descent, BUT, not before it somehow gets ahold of my modelkasten tracks, shattering them into a million pieces and mixing with the newly spilt paint.

So, you could imagine, my issue last night. Hopefully fix and buy all I need and be ready by TOMORROW !.

That is a major bummer, I have one of those dogs as well. She knows better (now) than to get anywhere near my workbench. Best of luck in salvaging anything you can from it.

Well to plug that hole, you can always use some duck tape.

I have always though it would be fun to punt a puppy for distance.

Ok,,,,managed to fix my compressor, was able to "clean" most of the paint off the floor. Did not manage to get away from the "ear chewing" from my arch nemesis, better known as the "evil woman-lady". Tracks, um, well, as good as I could possibly get them.

As for the " football with 4 legs " , he doesnt come around " these here parts no more ".

3442 - Glad to know my misfortune made yours a lil bit more bearable.

MightyRinox - Wish I could "forget" the rat somewhere, except, I would have to "forget" the wife somewhere as well. Wait, this may be a good thing.
