You ever give up on a model ?

[Joe C-P]

I've only thrown out one model, a Revell USS Pine Island. I was building it, and realized the hangar had come out trapezoidal, with no practical way to repair it, so out it went. I kept some of the detail bits, but couldn't do much with 1/400 parts, so they're buried in the parts piles.

ive nearly given up on a few wargames figures, mainly privater press ones as they usealy end with me finishing them if my wife starts them or vice versa, they have a habit of putting very small contact areas and tough metal, on figures that realy have no need of the parts being that numorus.  But the closest ive ever come is on a Games Workshop goblin hewer kit i built for a friend ( he asked me to make it as he was shure that hed have ended up throwing it out of a window) ( link to pic here http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Image:GOBLINSCHNITTER.JPG )  the chain is 2 seperate plaes that you have to balance in and i dont think was built to allow for shrinkage on casting, and the topmost axes join at the pommel where the gripping claw is, to drill and pin you have to drill down the handle of the axe.  ( i have looked for a better link but the GW site has locked up my PC twice resulting in re-writes of this, so this is the best i can find)
