ZombiEd Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 How many of you have placed something on top of your car while you get out your keys to unlock the door? I've can't count the number of times I've done it. Well, no more. This is the first time I drove off forgetting to take them down. I was so eager to show off the first four that I had painted last night. Well, I didn't realize what I did until I got to the store. I immediately rushed back hoping to find them safe. No such luck, They were in the middle of the street, the box crushed flat. the minis were scattered all over. This is what I found. The Executioner took the most damage, the Silurid lost it's back fin, the Rattler is bent in a few places and will break if I straighten it, and Bete is badly gouged. All the bases are broken, and one is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 One foam tray with a half dozen PP trollkin warriors with hand painted plaid kilts that I was doing for a commission. - Never found them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Aww...lame. The rattler looks salvagable. I twisted mine like that by stepping on it and then just bent it back into shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchethead Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I played Sweeney Todd in a local production a few years back. On my way to rehearsal, I put the decorative box containing two prop replica straight razors on the roof and proceeded to drive a block and a half before realizing what I'd done. I found them in a ditch. Minimal damage to the box, both razors intact. I may have also suffered a minor stroke. ... crappy deal, your puppets. It's a real drag the one is missing. A least what you've found can be repaired with a little glue, green suff and eblow grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runsamok Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Back in the sevenites, I did the same thing with $900 after closing the store I was working at. I returned an hour later to find the moneybag with all the money in it in the middle of the parking lot. The boss never found out and I am still breathing a sigh of relief today. Sorry to hear about your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ugh man that sucks At least most are salvageable and I'm sure you can fix the executioner and the others. The bases are going to be another issue. Blah that sucks man :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazza Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 we did not put him on the roof but once forgot to put our dog in the car when we went of; took a few villages before we noticed *shame* raced back, and he was still sitting there waiting i was 14 t the moment btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Shoot me an e-mail (nathan@) and I'll see if I can sort you some bases and maybe a replacement on the more damaged ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersoxette Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ours get into trouble on the way out to the car. We've learned the hard way to put a cover on the box of freshly painted minis we're carrying out - it may not make everything safer... but 100% easier to keep out the dirt and dust. >_< Good luck on the puppet surgery!

This is why I love you guys!! But yeah dude, that sucks some serious donkey (insert your favorite part here). I haven't done it yet, but I'm bound to do it soon (the car roof top driving, not the donkey thing...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
