Many years ago I had a little accident with My First Titan and just couldn't manage to fix him so he ended up like this (was sad at the time):

Reactor breach!


I remember buying the Capitol Imperialis from my local GW years ago and getting it home, all excited at the prospect of assembling this meaty vehicle. However, this soon changed - I had an utter nightmare building this model.

For those who have worked with it, they'll know that it is a bit lopsided and a pain to put together and needs huge amounts of putty to fill in the gaps. Take this along with my, at the time, relative inexperience and you have a recipe for frustration. The side panels didn't sit on the tracks quite right, the roof didn't line up, the front panel looked off, the rear panel just wouldn't sit without looking wonky. Eventually I lost it and took a lump hammer to the front panel (partly frustration and partly to try to hammer off the huge amount of superglue and milliput on it). I swear, I used up half a tube of superglue before I gave up!

Droped a single plastic marine into like coloured carpet. Spent ages 'patting' the carpet desperately searching for it, then I felt the rage, then I gave up and had a wee cry    

(he was never seen again)

Maybe I just have low patience, but I was attempting to assemble a Necron Monolith tonight, attempting being the key word here.  Did I have lots of homework to do for grad school?  Oh yes, yes I did, but I wanted to "relax".  I didn't want to work on Bayesian statistics, I wanted to "enjoy myself" and get some modeling done.

This thing was created by the devil, and it was a complete disaster.  The glue did not want to dry, except of course when it was bonding my flesh to the panels and miraculously traveling against grvity to do so.  Then you have to get the stupid panels to line up, or you will be spending lots of time plugging gaps with putty.  

I got all four panels sort of together, noticed a gap, tried to adjust...boom, all 4 walls come unstuck, to which I respond in the appropriate way, smashing it with my fist, somehow managing to cut myself on the plastic in the process, blood everywhere.  So here I am, low on sleep, no monolith built, and no stats work done.

Anyone else have a good modeling rage story?
