Now I've done it...

Don't you love the feeling...?

That lovely one: the idea came to me, so went and did it. Okay , so I found out a few mods could not be done without making it look completely horrible. But it's the kinda stuff you really have to know about to even notice it.

Project is coming to an end. Body on, nosecone on, rear wing on - F1, btw. All that was left was wheels, mirrors and onboard cameras. Right-hand side: front on, rear on. Left-hand side: front... *clack* silence.

The first time this has happened to me. I just stared in disbelief. I presume one of the pieces of platic might have had a weak point in it, snapped and with the little bit of pressure you need to use to put on the wheel, the rest of the right front suspension was smashed. I just sat there, staring at it... wheel in hand, model in other hand, looking good, except for the missing right front suspension.

I picked up what pieces I could and started repairing. Went on this morning. Something small splintered off in the top wishbone, because it's too short now. At this stage I decided to only attach the bottom one and keep it still. Hopefully it will hold up and at least look like something... With a way out-of-camber wheel, it will really look horrible.

I am beyond consolation at this stage. What looked like it was goin to be a nice-looking model is now as good as ruined. Will patch it up as good as I can and decal it.

Just wanted to share this misfortune. At least I slept over it and is a bit calmer now!
