Si, I reckon they are serious. If not I blog the crap kit all over the place . Boots, the replacement parts cover everything I have put together till now . Which does mean that I have enough bent bits to possibly do a blown to bits build too  . |

Well Gents,
I have also run into warping issues as well, not as bad as Paul’s, thank god!! I am just trying to remember the best method of straightening resin?? Any ideas from the experts??
Boots, funny you mention Paul having to do a damaged / rusty relic, as it leads to a future campaign idea I have rolling around in the vacant lot that passes for my cerebral centre!! 🤷♂️🤫🤣

Iron it . No, don't do that. Hot water and gentle pressure should do the trick, and once it is warm you can use a hair dryer to keep the pliability going. My parcel is on it's way from the Ukraine, so I should be back in business soon |

My Knight from Heaven bust had a warped sword and it looked like it was made to kill an enemy behind the corner. I put it in the hot steam of a water cooker and after a while the sword got straight by gently bending it the other way.

Ok, I'm out for a wile and Paul, now, has 2 Miniart's tanks (one in the bench and one in Frankfurt). Mike choose to use as many AM parts as possible and this thread is funniest than I thought! Wow! Someone said that you, Paul, have only 3500 parts to deal with and, now, more 4000 waiting for the customs clearance.
Caramba! And despite all this you both are doing amazing jobs!

LMFAO Marco . The worst thing is, when those replacement parts arrive I start at no.1 again . The other 4000 will go into the Wrecked GB plus another 1000 or so   |
