Most other things are just stupid mistakes such as my most recent of not looking which way the X-acto blade was facing when I pushed down on it.



LOL I know exactly what you mean!

Other than knocking over nearly full bottles of Tenax...



Definitely done that once, scared the absolute out of me. But clean up was easy, it evaporated!

Each piece of PE - not set, but [i]piece/i] - is a lesson in disaster.

But my latest screwup was in knocking over a Tamiya paint bottle (the things are huge, with a low center of gravity so knocking one over is hard enough!). First came the , then came the , then . In a fit of genius, I decided not to immediately clean it up. I instead whipped out my paintbrush and painted everything that I could (some still on the sprue), before it got clumpy. Then I cleaned it up.

The worst one i have done is recently when for some reaons, blame it on inadequate instructions/reference material. But for some reaosn i decided to remove the visors on the main hatch of the Warriro MCRV i am working on. I had to but he replacement parts from Accurate Armour as there was no way i could recover the kit without them. In my defense i would offer up the less tha nbrilliant instructions and my total lack of knowledge of Modern Armour....something that i am trying to rectify before i smeg up any more kits
