We had a series of sever storms last night, and in lue of my house getting clobbered my 70 mph winds and golf ball sized hail, the window in my basement gave out allowing a torrent of water in that washed both my Bismark project and the 1/150 USS United States off my workbench and onto the floor. Upon inspecting the damage with a flashlight, since I have been without power for over 14 hrs, I found the Bismark floating upright and around the room, however, the United States didn't fare as well. It resembled a dismasted Oklahoma and most of the scratchbuilt basewood upper hull I did expanded and fell off. I cannot fathom where all my PE and N scale parts might be.
I am still without power, and we used a generator to run my sumps to pump all the water out, but it looks I will be out of the group build for a few days until I can find all my missing parts, PE, and dry out my instructions. Not to mention my work bench, supplies, and tools.
My RC planes, and wooden HMS Endeavor may have fared a much worse fate since they somehow ended up being washed onto the floor as well are made of wood, and were under 4" of water.
Well, I'm now at work where there is electricty, a bathroom, and a hot cup of coffee, so I'm now off to get that hot cup of coffee and put on a dry pair of socks.
