Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later... I won a bid for an Estes Klingon Battle Cruiser #1274 and was looking forward to getting it and building the model. It came really fast and I cut it open to dig out the instructions. The kit was advertised as "new-unopened" but had damage. That was ok with me as I thought I'd be able to fix just about anything. We at first I thought the kit had been open because it had some mouse droppings in it and to big fig looking things. Turns out it wasn't opened and the fig looking things were the old glue that Estes used to supply in the vacuform kits. :eyeroll: Anyway, the glue figs were rock hard and the mouse turds were really just pieces of the header-card that had rubbed off over the years...
BTW, this thing is a lot smaller than I thought it would be...
