Trey I can't believe your brother disposed of 300 models and he lived to tell the tale!

I hear ya Richard,what saved him was I did'nt find out the truth until years later lol

Back in the '80s I had my collection boxed and ready to go into storage when I joined the military and poof they were gone 300 + kits! Found out years later my Little brother and some of his cronies had a full day of fun returning them all to kit form and beyond.

I'd have killed the little sh*t! Mind you my little brother is bigger than me ....Oh and he's a Police officer. Maybe not such a good plan.

I have a confession to make.A few weeks ago i broke up and threw away some very old 1/72 aircraft to make some shelf space for new builds!.I broke them up gently and placed them in the bin with care though.

With a little prayer I hope.

I have disposed of models in several of the ways mentioned. Air rifles and fireworks have figured prominently as well as the odd sore arse. Lighter fuel was good stuff,luckily my dad was a commited smoker. I did once melt my mum's washing line in a botched effort to have a burning Messerschmitt carreer along it. Definite sore arse that one!

The cruellest method is a de-winging of old models. I still keep a stash of old wings to experiment on,they take up less room than the whole model......honest.

I'm glad I read your post until the end Steve. When I read that "the odd sore arse" figured in your methods of disposing of models I did wonder whether this thread had got a bit "specialist" for my delicate sensitivities... :lol:
