Destroyed exhibits

I know it's not paper modelling, but we would all feel the pain. A model railway exhibition in the UK totally destroyed by 4 mindless youths. One display by one man was 25 years of work. My heart bleeds. In the end, it is only things and not the loss of life, but it is just such a pointless thing to do. If anyone had wrecked any of my model work at the annual model fare in our town (which I attended for 10 years), I'd have been after the perpetrators with an array of scalpels.

Yes,I read about it. Shame on those parents for not teaching kids the value of work of others.

It is VERY wrong, and the perps should be brought to justice. At the end of the day, though, it does show that investment is always a risk and one should be very sure that their investment is worthy of the time! It reminds me of a text around 1 Cor. 3.

Yes, I read about this on the BBC.
Just disgusting what those selfish little B@$t@rd$ did. So much time and hard work destroyed for no reason. I can't imagine the emotions of anger and downright sickness that our model building brothers must be feeling right now. This whole thing just saddens me.

Saw it on the morning Metro. Not the happiest news of the day. I do wonder what would happens afterwards, I would assume the entire model didn't have any insurance?

Saw that on one of the model car forums I go to. Several recommendations there that related to knee caps and baseball bats. Being GB I recommended a cricket bat.

I think the kids should have to work with the modelers every weekend until all damage is repaired or rebuil,

They learn the value of dedication to work and possibly learn a new hobby
