This evening, I'm cleaning and dusting off some of my models.
Because I'm a clumsy doofus, I accidentally snapped off a piece of the windscreen wiper on the Vic Elford 917. I want to fix this, and I have a couple ideas, but I wouldn't mind hearing other thoughts. The broken part is about as thick as a straightpin, the plastic seems to have sort of a rubbery quality to it, and it feels like I get one shot at making this right, or it's just going to look worse.
And while I'm asking the brain trust, here's a second issue I have with another car. The C9 Merc is a VERY highly detailed scale model, and maybe I'm too indelicate and ham fisted to own a model with this level of detail... I've lost the valve stem from the right rear wheel. It is TINY, maybe 3/16 of an inch tall with a stem diameter of maybe 1/32 or 1/16 and a conical base. I'm just throwing this one out just in case someone could give me an idea of how to replicate that tiny little part...
Any ideas will be appreciated.
