I have gone and done it. I screwed up a Forgeworld model.
It's my contemptor. I picked a dumb pose for the arms, but by the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. The glue had cured. One arm came off with little resistance, and I was able to put it back in place, but the other... it's a lost cause. And worst of all, the part that got destroyed was the shoulder - part of the body, not the arm, so I can't even replace it.
The way I see it, I have three options:
1) Try to make a cast of the surviving shoulder and build my own replacement bit.
2) Email Forgeworld and beg them to send me a new one (even though their policy is against selling parts individually).
3) Email Forgeworld and lie to them, claiming it was miscast.
What do I do? I hate the idea of lying to Forgeworld, and only partly because if I'm caught - if they demand a photo - it will be too late to try honesty; but once I try honesty, it's also too late to lie. I don't think that my greenstuff casting skills are up to the task of creating a new shoulder bit, though I suppose that's what I'd try if I had no other options left.
What do you think I should do. Help me out here!
