20 hours into a 1/144th scale Millenium Falcon build and I just nuked it. My new weathering wash didn't agree with the topcoat I just put over it. It dissolved the wash the locked it in, surfaced dried weird too, all cracked and textured. Wife comes and looks at, it's fine she says, it looks great she says. Shoot me.
I feel so alone.

I just ordered a new model off amazon. Will have to start over. Live and learn I guess. Sucks to have something you labored over 15-20 hours on die in 30 seconds.
I was building this model to enter in Penncon next year. Which is a modeling convention in Carlisle hosted buy the central PA chapter of the international plastic modellers society. Modeling is one of my favorite hobbies I have been doing since childhood. It can be quite fun and rewarding, also devastating at times. LOL.

Yea model building, I was almost done with the thing. It was assembled and had a base coat and then a gloss coat on it for decal and weathering application. Decals and weathering washes go onto glossy surfaces better then a matte surface. Got all the decals on, finished putting a weather wash on today. Needed to seal the whole thing up with a final top coat of matte finish. This would be the final step and compete the painting process. For some reason the matte finsh like dissolved all the weathering details and then dried, sealing it in (looks like ****). The on top of that, the matte coat dried with a frosted texture.

I think I will just put the model underneath one of my 32 BFGs and just go forward and reverse until I run out of gas. LOL.
