Default Wrecked a Vette--picture

Of coarse nobody was injured. This is a pic of a model that my brother bought Kym for Xmas one year. He then painstakingly detailed and built it for her. A pristine example it was. Unfortunatly while dusting it was dropped from waist level onto the hardwood floor. It exploded into many parts. All of the parts came off where they were glued so nothing is actually broken. We can rebuild it, we have the technology, we have the model glue, we have the tweezers. Pic of resurected beauty soon to follow. Now its off to walmart to get tweezers and glue. :D
