look upon the bright side of things. It could have been a brittle and sensitive plastic or resin model, wherupon the parts would be damaged beyond repair. With this paper model, you can start anew and probably enhance it to the outmost. In my Aliens dropship thread, there are a few photos of the interior of the APC which may help you out in building the interior. Also, on resinilluminati.com, there are various build thread of the APC as well. Some are lit up, motorized and interior builds. You have to join to see some of the builds, but it is free and the wealth of reference material is beyond belief. Master studio builders over there. Enjoy and lets start from afresh. Waiting to see attempt #2 on this one.
When I return from overseas, I plan to tackle the interior build for this one as well.
