So, I setup my 1/48 VF-1J box up on my dining room table to swap out some hands.   I began to smell something funny, and then noticed something horrible had happened...

I HAD PUT THE BOX OVER A CANDLE.  IT DID NOT END WELL FOR THE BOX.

The Valk is fine though.

Notice how the hole is almost perfectly round!

Super exclusive battle damaged cover edition.  Glad you, your house, and the valk are safe.

A candle flame can hit temperatures of over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the burn temperate for cardboard is around 450.  You are lucky that a severe fire did not start.

(Though I am not a mother yet.... just imagine me saying this next part in a concerned motherly voice)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be more careful next time.... errr.. I mean, don't let there be a next time.

Ooh!  I was thinking the hole looked like a "Reflex Blast" (excuse my Robotech, but I read those damn novels as a kid and the word is stuck in my head)

I shall sell this on Ebay at a giant premium!

Custom edition!  Glad everything turned out alright.  Some soot on the valk would've made for some nice battle damage :p

Match-heads make great laser-impacts... but this does seem a little extreme:D

 

good to hear everything ended up ok.

Because I’m dumb I spent 10 mins trying to decipher the third and forth word. Still nothing lol. Glad everything is ok. Looks like the Zentradi tried to blow it up
