    Well, crap.

    She's one of my oldest kitbashes, maybe 30 years old.
    I was putting the models back after dusting the top shelf off. I knocked the Belisarius into the Venture. The Venture fell, took an engine off the Edmund Fitzgerald three shelves below, smashed nose-first into my keyboard and broke off half the numeric keypad keys. I was screaming NONONO all the time. My wife ran into the room thinking I was dying. Well, a piece of me was.
    It was quite spectacular.
    Not sure if it can be fixed, but I'll try.
    My wife found all the keys. :)
    I still can't find the Fitz's bussard.

    That's an amazing collection of custom ships. I hope it's repairable.

    Well, here is a partial transcript of the incident...

    Forbin: It's burst into flames! ... and it's crashing! It's crashing terrible! Oh, my! Get out of the way, please! It's burning and bursting into flames and the... and it's falling... this is terrible, this is the worst of the worst catastrophes in the world. Oh it's... It's smoke, and it's in flames now... Oh, the humanity! ... Ah! It's... it... it's a... ah! I... I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest, it's just laying there, mass of smoking wreckage.


    This is truly a sad day, but I'll reserve further comment on the incident until after the final NTSB report has been released.

    Odd, I can see your pics fine on my phone, but not on my computer. Oh, well.

    I just have to say one thing (besides sorry that your ship broke.) When Deep Space Nine needed background ships for fleet shots, they should have called you and asked to borrow some of your models.

    Also, you'd think I could spell the name of my own ship correctly in the title. :brickwall:

    You were in distress.

    And if anyone can fix this, it's you.

    On my laptop the images don't show up, either. if I copy the URL and try to
    insert it as an image I get a broken pic icon followed by an [ IMG ] tag (minus the spaces).

    Aye that's what I get as well.
    @Forbin I am sorry for your loss. Perhaps, it is a sign to do something more amazing with her
