RichArnold Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 So, I managed to sort my Rubies mod to the standard I thought would be okay, and then I went and did this... That was roughly from waist height ( I'm 5' 8") so I just thought I'd warn you all about clumsiness with your bucket. please bear it in mind, but that it's NOT a crack or ripple in the paint (it's not easy to see) but that's straight through the plastic on the face.. Slightly annoyed doesn't cover it. Time to start fixing it then...
jabbasdead Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Tragic but not Hopeless, hang in there at least your head was not in it at the time....
Heatshock Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 ow dude now an excuse to fibreglass the inside of the face plate!! isopon/bondo fixes everything ;P
Cyber Scout Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Chin up mate it It is fixible, as Nathan seid fiberglass the face plate and a bit of filler and a bit of spray and alls good mate
Wickedfluxx Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Fixable for sure, just a pain when it slows you down in your build.
RichArnold Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks guys. Like 'Fluxx said, it's more annoying than terminal... On a positive, it gives me the chance to fix all the little bits I wasn't completely happy with... Watch this space then...
RichArnold Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 from busted to repaired in two easy photo's... Apart from the fact I've run out of hot-glue (it's on order), repairs progressing well. again, not terminal, jus bl@@dy frustrating... Cheers y'all.
RichArnold Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 There ya go... Some of the snout needs tidying a bit, and there's still a lot of polishing to do, but that's the main break sorted. Changing a few bits as well as the repair, including new bolts, tidying up the back "windows" and adding a few shinier decals, but I thought you'd all like to see it without a dirty great crack through the middle. Cheers, Rich.
Chex Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Nice fix. Snout needs to be cleaned up a little though.
RichArnold Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 Yep. Basically where I masked the snout up for the respray ended up taking some of the humbrol off, and my hands weren't exactly steady when I touched it up. Still, easily fixed, but preferably when my hands aren't tired...
