So now I am going through what has survived the move, what needs work, and what is garbage. Most things survived with moderate to light damage. The 1/350 Yamato survived the best out of all of the models moved. Yamato in Japanese means "strength".
The SDKFZ is totally trashed, along with the diorama I was working on. That project cost me $45-$50 USD.
A view of the temporary model shelf I have going. My closet door is always open- I see it as an extension of the room because there is so much space to utilize in there.
Mighty Mo took moderate damage. Guns are missing, platforms are missing, turrets were missing, and part of the superstructure broke off. I can repair it fairly easily, but it will take some time. The USS New Jersey is trashed, so I am (yes) harvesting 5 inch turrets off of it for use on the Missouri.
The Yamato survived the 800 mile move mostly unscathed. A few loose turrets here and there.
The Merkava and the Bulldog survived with little damage, as did most of my other 1/35 vehicles, most of them incomplete.
The M3 Lee and the Jeep are easy finishers: they require a few more parts, painting, and they are done. The Panzer MK II also just needs paint and it is finished. I need to find the boxes and complete the kits. They can literally be finished in two days of work, each.
