discussion The worst buy, what is your

[peter.collins443]

After buying some boxes to store my bits and pieces on various shelves. I came across some wheel attachments to mount a model car or van to a base plate on a display case. which I had forgotten I had purchased.



Every time I try and attach them to a wheel using double sided tape, or glue they wont remain in place. I asked a friend to print me some more but make the edges higher but that was another mistake. I had some blocks printed which do a better job. I did in the past drill a number of holes (8 in total in the plinth of the case but i did not like the finish.

So what has been your worst purchase to date.

Worst buy? Hmm, my mate said it was his wife - you might think so (said I) but I couldn't possibly comment!

Hmm, worst purchase? I bought a roll of very thin, veneer type material, which I thought would be great at edging diorama boards, (I usually use balsa strips), buts its so thin and fragile that it is almost impossible to use! it just cracks and crumbles as soon as you touch it, I think its just cheap and nasty stuff, so my fault....So that sits in the corner of doom.....
