It is of great sadness that the plastic diffuser on my fluorescent lamp randomly decided to let go and come crashing down on the RWB 911 and S1 Pikes Peak. I didn't even get around to photographing the models in their most pristine condition.
Today has indeed been a bad day. 2 seconds of silence would be appreciated. [/first-world-problems]
no but seriously, only the blades on the wings came off, so gluing them back is simple. I now have to go match the paint as best as I can. That's hella lame, and there go the resale value too
Can't resell for money, can't really make back anything.... Could mod it, but that's unplanned spending. Aside from that, if you're more interested in owning this than I am, reach out to me... or go buy it from ck-modelcars.
Sometimes their quality control can be sorta dodgy, but so far all of my Otto's have arrived fine. Like GT Spirit, they are sealed resin models though. Depending on where you are and who you order from, Otto's can be had for as cheap as $80 USD shipped. That isn't bad at all for the detail level of their models, which body wise, is comparable to most AUTOarts. Otto's tend to have better paint than AA's though. Actually, resins in general tend to have better paint when compared to diecast models, with the exception of having decals instead of tampo printed stuff.
I know resin parts can be quite thin, but surely if the jig/or underlying material was fairly robust, I doubt that the pressure of a pad printer would destroy the resin. (caught my fingers underneath those pads a few times.. Doesn't hurt due to fairly softish tampo pads).
