Whilst hunting for a load of Zulu's i had painted, a i managed to lift the top off an ECW army pack adn spill the contents all over the garage floor adn my shelves.
Still didn't find the zulu's and i suspect i'll be finding 10mm men for the life of the garage!
Still not as bad as when i droped a tool box full of micro tanks in the middle of a busy road:(

My sympathies.
I got very annoyed when my 3 yr old brother plonked his hand on a unit of hoplites. Had to pick the spears out of his hand.
Did terrible damage to my phalanx.

Friend on mine did once sit on a sharpened piano wire 28mm Landsknechte pike block, thankfully we used to play above a doctors surgery!! One tetanus jab later...

Anyone done the rogue mini in bare feet? ~X(
I almost had a disaster last Friday......I "lost" one of the Mongol archers.
(Which should have been in my drying 'oven' on the desk.)
Took me the best part of a morning to find it.....On the floor, behind the desk, where one of the cats has swatted it.
Thankfully it was still stuck to a cork, which made it relatively easy to find, in the end.
I was not a happy bunny, while I was looking for it. ~X( ~X( ~X( ~X(
Oh...the relief when I found it !! #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S

When the bit I lost on the ground is tiny, I just let him be with his new life on the ground if I don't find him after 30 secondes.
Quicker to redo it than to search it.
Just broke the loud speaker on my Oddball Flames Of War figure, its shattered and I've lost the parts, really miffed. Had to resculpt the dashed thing, Techno don't know how you have the patience! ~X(
We had a Vietnam army pack that broke in the Pendraken van about 2 years ago now, and we're still finding the odd figure every now and then.

Agreed.....If it's a tiny piece..
Like you say B....If you can't find it quickly...Give up and re-do.
This little chap was finished, and I didn't really want to do him all over again from scratch !! ;D ;D ;D

Once had a small record case containing my entire collection of 1:3000th WW2 Pacific fleets undo half-way up the stairs of a moving double-decker bus. Had the combined US and Japanese navies tumbling down the stairs. Luckily the little devils are easy to spot and I got them all back. One or two needed re-painting though. :'( :'( :'(
Not a miniatures disaster as such
Once while driving from Ieper to Bayeux me and the wife stopped at a french garage as we needed something from the suitcase, I nipped round the back and got what was needed ( cant remember now) got back in the car and set off
About 2 hours later we pulled into the Lion D'Or car park and 2 porters came and asked if they could help, me being me said "No No I can manage", swung the suitcase out of the boot and watched all my wife's knickers, bras and feminine hygiene products scattering over a wide area of the car park
Needless to say I wasn't Mr popular at this point
Thankfully It was soon forgiven some hours later when she saw the Bayeux tapestry for the first time
