Oh bugger! A little help please!

Post by chief5437 »

Being a complete mong, I've glued the wheels of my Matilda on the wrong sides of the hull! Now the tracks don't line up (either way!) what's the best way of removing the parts? They're stuck on with testers liquid plastic cement. I've used nail polish remover to dissolve CA before but don't know what to use in this scenario?!
Any help would be great, otherwise I've got a whole tank going in the spares bin!
Cheers guys

It's the slightly over sensitive swear filter preventing you saying bugger, I think it needs removing as I don't consider that a swear word.

The only thing I can think of is put a load more of the testers glue on there,and see if it'll soften the plastic enough to release it

Wow... I was going to offer the same advise that Paul did, but I was laughing too hard at the swear filter. It's like that kids game Mad Libs.
Terrible! "boing boing Brad Pitt birth cannon" I love it!

I would use a fine jeweler saw and cut the parts neatly then reposition making sure all parts are equal length and square!

If not you can add a little styrene to repair what has been cut off or melted!

Pin parts if necessary!

Long process but a worthy model to save!

:thumb2: Good luck!

I just been through the same ordeal with my M4 HST! So I feel your pain!

Cheers guys, think I've got it sorted now. As I'm such a tight arse with my glue, they 'unglued' quite easily.

I have only just read through this with all the swear filters in it! Currently sitting lubricating the flower beds myself laughing in the office, and getting some weird looks.

Glad you got it sorted though mate.

I recall someone saying ...Google (search) is your friend:

Googled 'what does bugger mean' and these were the first 3 hits....
