I purposely put tile (vinyl peel-n-stick) under/around the bench...this rest of the room has a berber style carpet. Every effort of that monster has been thwarted, so far!
In recent years, I've lost one part...1/48 109 canopy. How it flung away in the way it did, I can't wrap my head around. I never heard it hit anything. Scanned every inch of the floor, shelves, cabinets...everywhere. Ordered a new one. Naturally, right after I got the replacement part on the model, I found the original. 3 weeks had passed, I had had a few band reheasals, and other company...the part was laying right in the main traffic area. How it dodged all the traffic...I'll never know!
