jesus, that is actually tragic. I have no words. Feel better soon fella.

Man, that sucks big time... Hope you repair the damage soon.

This has happend to me, not fun at all. hope you can save them.

Your shelves fell most likely because you installed the Ikea Detolf wrong. The bars for the shelves should be on the inside. From the photo, they are on the outside which makes it very easy for the shelf to slip off.

At first glance, the models seemed to be mostly works in progress. Then, in horror, I realised that this wasn't the case. Hopefully the damage is minimal and easy to repair.

Aaaaargh! That is so heartbreaking. You have my sympathies. I hopes the damage is minimal and invisible after repairs.

OMFG :o I heard my boyfriend just take a sharp intake of breath then he showed me these photos. I feel for you so much.

We have exactly the same cabinet and we both just ran downstairs to make sure ours was set-up correctly and it was.

Before you put anything back, rebuild your cabinet. I really hope you can recover your models and get them back to their former glory.

Good luck....totally gutted for you xx

-.- I feel with you...hope everything is fine soon

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

So upseting to see this :( I hope you can repair it!

So very sorry :(

CS

My sympathies, dude. That is heart-breaking. Stay tough, my man. Persevere.

Oh man, I cant believe it! That is heartbreaking. :( Stay hoopy, man!

Oh no, this is the sum of all fears right there. My sympathies.

OH HOLY SHIT!!! Damn Peter. Oh man that is terrible and frustrating as all hell! My sympathies are with you.

DAAAMMMMMMM.......
Seeing all that damage to your work is making me tear. So much damage to all that hard work. I feel for you on this tragedy.

Wow, I am so sorry that such a bad thing happened!

Keep up!

Gtz Morbidus

OMG..... I feel with you

Holy Cow! It hurts even when watching it. Feeling with you!

Fu#@! Hopefully some miniatures survived without great damage?

Can`t even imagine how this must hurt inside your heart :´(

oh no......holy shit!

Everybody who paints miniatures surely had an accident with one mini falling down on the floor. This is always heartbreaking.

But your totaly crash is really tragic. Has no words in english to describe this horror.

But the most of your minis looks like they could be repaired. I hope so. Wish you the very best.

awww dude so sorry for u best wishes from spain :(

I send my best wishes for the things they could be rescued and condolences for any other. Get better soon for the emotional punch.

Gravity – The curse of all miniatures.

My thoughts are with you…

NOOOOOOOOOO! My sympathies. I've just warned my friend as he has the same cabinet too.

Ohhhhhhhhh damn! Just two days after you noticed that something was wrong with your cabinet.... ahhh sometimes life is a bitch!

I hope you can repair all the damage....
May the force be with you!

Absolutely heart rending!...

I hope you can salvage/repair what has happened...

After the box with my selfsculpted gd entry for this year fell down when I slipped, I can imagine what you feel! All these well painted figures! I feel with you!

Regards Tuffskull

It happenede exactly the same to me (and some of my friends) at a contest...after all the pieces were displayed, a small hit to the display case made three of the shelves to fall down onto each other...To be in front of the four Choas Gods was nothing in comparison...the sense of impotence while seeing your paintjob compromised almost forever was unbearable...Sorry about it...Damn IKEA cases...
Doc

Sorry to see all that damage.
In fact, the shelf is built wrong. I've build some to my modelling association and that was a problem too.

Ach du Sch....
How could this happen? Feel with you. Hope you can repair the miniatures.
Damn. Have to check my glass cabinet.

Mmh ... It happens not often that I am out of words :/

Thank you all for your kind words... I took "The Rising" out of the cabinet to show it it to my cousin... unfortunatly there was a tiny little bit of "Patafix" left on the socket, so the class-shelf was moved too. Because of the sudden movement the metal-framework started shaking and all shelfs fell down...

It was a strange feeling... I was not angry or something like that... just stunned and in this mood I started recovering the miniature-parts... I think in situations like these you just can accept the facts...

I know what went wrong and so I will correct the cabinet this evening, reorganize my working place and start to repair my miniatures. Fortunetly it seems most of the minis are not damaged too much, so it will only take some minior repairs. But I will use the chance/time to "pimp" most of them for "Duke of Bavaria" (as it was already planed)... I´m just forced to invest some more time for this ;)

Good Roman always says: "Everything happens for a cause..." Even as I hate this sentence most of the time he says it, he is right in this situation ;) I think there will be some more articles soon :D

YYYAAAARRRR!!!! Everything always happens with a reason - the meaning can still be unclear for a while but in the end it will turn out as it should and be just fine ...

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry :(

I am so very sorry to see such tragic pictures. Put them back together and make them better. Now I am paranoid for my cabinet to do the same.

I am really sorry for this tragedy
especially because I have the same window ...

Worst... blogpost... ever...

My deepest condolences! I can sympathize there very well!

Ach du Scheiße,
sorry, was treffenderes fällt mir nicht ein. Ich hoffe wirklich du bekommst das bis zum Herzog wieder hin.

Gruß Dirk

Ohhh gravitaaay ! Thou art a heartless bitch !

FAIL PIOTR !^^

Putain!!!

Damn... You have my whole symapthy, Peter. May they all come back to their former glory and win you some prices and medals at the Duke. The Big Kong is surely right in his believe. It helps even in such situations.

Stay positive and the minis will get even more stunning.

My condolences... D:

You didn't build the glass shelf correctly! The metall horizontall bars go for inside! Read the instructions of build thinks or this want happen!

Ach du scheiße. Hoffe das läßt sich alles noch retten!
