I just had a slight mishap with many of the clip together kits I made up. So a little piece of friendly advice.
OK?
I had quite a few kits glued and then clipped up.
This I highly recommend others to do who are thinking of buying these often Brill tiny kits.
This is True________It Just Happend
" It sure is,he he!"___
"That`s right Paeds!"
Now I am not a very good stacker of empty boxes and I had quite a few that resembled a weird sort Tower of Pisa on my little work table. Weird tower yes indeed for each time I rocked the table just a little,the tower began to lean, and to twist first one way ,and then the other.
Of course i`d place an eye upon it and readjust it making it lean up instead of down. So now to the point of this comment.____ I moved.____The table moved.____ As did poor pisa .
"Opp`s!"
It came crashing down. Five ,six,eight ,10 boxes and more with me trying to catch juggle them.
Now it must be said that juggling is a wonderful thing I cannot do.
"VeryTrue!"
So Crash! The 1/72,boxes came down followed by the 1/76,and lots of 1/100 scale boxes too.
Well you might think no harm done. Wrong the boxes landed onto another larger box containing,yes completed kits.
"GULP!"
Down crashed the tower.Up went the box in way of a catapult release. Up went the tanks,and lorries,and armoured cars,and soon after gaining the power of considerable flight ,they all came a tumbling down.
Now here within the Beano home we have solid stone floors. Upon hitting such an abrupt end that gravity dictates,the clip together kits spring loaded and without any glue placed upon them exploded like cluster bombs do in mid-air._____Crash!Ping!,Ping!Ping! Everywhere!
Gathering all the pieces together I could see no actual damage to any parts so I can fix wheels, and other stuff in place easily. No damage occurred to the glued up ones so no harm done at all.
Although Bella our dog ,a right little Musky, chewed up one of the Lorry Drivers.
"Opp`s!"
A very small price to pay for one of my antics.
I had this picture in my mind of a very sore loser,on the war-gaming table, thumpinp the table which then resulted in all his clip together models exploding in a highly similar fashion.
If anyone is interested I could show on tutorials how to build that leaning tower of boxes.
