The clutz (me) catches a big break!

Two years ago I was absolutely thrilled to find and purchase a model on my Grail list. It was the DM Preview Society 1932 Ford Roadster in Brewster Green, a model limited to just 1000 worldwide. Needless to say, it didn’t show up for sale often and when it very, very rarely did, it was out of my comfort zone. The color really appealed to me, the shade of green really represents 1930’s to me. In my last post I told of my talent of breaking pieces off my models. My first examination of my new model included raising the folding hood to admire the highly detailed flathead. Very, very impressive! Of course when the hood came back down it flicked off the cowl light. I hate cowl lights. My first attempt to pick up the tiny light with tweezers sent the piece flying off to the unknown. I searched for it on the workbench, the surrounding floor area with no luck. I deduced that it must have gone between the wall and the back of the bench, so for fear of damaging the model while pulling the heavy bench from the wall I placed it on a nearby tool box for safety. With a mighty pull the bench came backward right into the toolbox and I watched as the Deuce went rolling off onto the concrete floor. Absolutely, Positively, Undeniably Totaled! Fast forward to last night, out of the wild blue yonder, while strolling eBay…..

Actually paid less this time and it’s new in the box.
