Yamaha YZF-R1M Ultra Realistic Model

Very sorry to hear... this is the real nightmare of any father-modeller... I know how do you feel now, I know very well
Please stop for a while... before you take any decision. Tomorrow you will see the things in a new light.

@retunga I am very sorry to hear such. If it is any consolation, I know the feeling of loosing a model to the destructive power of a child. When I was in the middle of test build, the colleague (and her family) of my ex-wife came over for dinner. My ex-wife's colleague decided that it was OK to let her 6 year old son play with the model (and a few other models) to play with. He proceeded to destroyed all of them. Needless to say, I was furious . My ex-wife and her colleague had said that it was no big deal and could not understand why I was so upset. They also said that I could always rebuild it since it was only paper and not a "real" model.

My advice is to not let this discourage you from continuing to build. You are a GREAT builder and you do FANTASTIC work! After you have cleared your head of this incident, go back to building again. Everyone here GREATLY ENJOYS seeing your work!!!

@retunga : Oh, dear, I'm so sorry to read this. I agree with Rhaven. He has also proven that such an event can produce even better results. Rhaven not only re-built his fleet, he improved it and with every build he has got closer to perfection.

I would have given the colleague a print of the model and insisted on him re-building it instantly. That would certainly have affected his attitude towards paper modeling.

Been there. It's virtually impossible to imagine building again. No apologies necessary, it was fun to watch!!
