Not nice in any scale when this happens, especially with good quality models, must be devastating. Sorry to learn it's happened to you. Hope in a day or so you can look at them with a repairable view point.
Thanks all for your kind comments - I will look at them later today...it was one of those suitcase moments where you pick up the handle, and all the contents fall out sideways! - Next time I will make sure the lid is properly secured...
