maybe we could have an oops page ??
Don't we have one on the forum then, only on Nick's 'Vintage British Diecasts Website', accessible by clicking the tiny description text at the top of any page on the forum!!
Perhaps we should have a 'Sticky' one in the 'Lounge' then, OK with you Nick...

There are quite a few oops threads, it would be good to move them to an oops topic like we had on Lefora.

that's the sort of thing I was thinking JB I know as Ghosty said there is an oops on Nicks page but some possibly don't visit that part of it and others seem to get lost in other threads ,I know some of mine have , a sticky in the lounge or maybe one in each of the relevant areas RW/SF ect so we can keep them together
I don't remember the one on lefora as it all went west just after I joined

those anybody know what exactly went wrong with this model?
Stephan
The lump of metal within the window's aperture was created during the casting process of the bare metal components. These fresh castings are placed into large rotating drums and 'Tumbled' making all the castings fall about crashing in to each other, causing the surplus metal and the metal that now makes up the injection channels (often called 'Sprues'), to brake free from the wanted areas of the castings.
On the example shown by "Fixer" this piece of surplus metal has proven to be more robust than usual and has gone through the whole manufacturing process without anyone removing it. Had the protrusion been facing inwards, into the body, then the glazing moulding would not have gone in and somebody would surely have had the model rectified.

Nick, if your still reading, I think the general concensus is...the forum members want a 'Sticky' oops! page on the forum and I would pop it into the 'Lounge' myself, but your in charge and we will agree with whatever you decide...
Yeah right, I feel a posse will force you to do otherwise...
