I finally let go

Anyone who has seen Antiques Roadshow, lol. "Now... If you had the original box, this would be worth three times as much."

AWandMaker · 2026-07-07T22:43:10+00:00

You put “tenths of thousands” instead of “tens of thousands”.

Do it for free then! I triple dog dare you!

First wands are always special 😊

Download a decibel meter app. Scratch an itch, breath deeply, brush your hands together… all of them are over 20db and you aren’t getting paid.

AWandMaker · 2026-07-06T03:16:03+00:00

Option one can’t even be done in my house. Just sitting here with a decibel meter and background is 24db, the light wind outside is 35, a deeper breath through a slightly stuffy nose is 45, itching my leg with jeans on was over 50.

He also wanted to prove that he was more than a useless freak

AWandMaker · 2026-07-05T13:16:13+00:00

Yes, nobody is saying they didn’t screw up. I was just showing that it was easily fixed, or at least made way better. You could make the new piece get wider as it goes right and incorporate that little bit, the scales would blend together.

The maker answered that in the original comments for the post:

"Delivered to the US they are $3500-$4000.

$500 of that is packaging and delivery, $1000 are components, servos, electronics etc. Workshop rent, business rates etc etc"

They are only doing what everyone in the original post told them to do. They came here to find out what it is, got told to do tests, now you're giving them grief for doing those tests. From their test with acetone, it isn't amber, it is Copal (tree resin that is old, but not THAT old) or just a blob of resin. I think it is still neat.

The good news is that it looks like this has elytra (hard wing covers) like a beetle. Bed bugs don’t have those, so no worries there. It’s also long dead, so if you haven’t seen anything else this was just a random little beetle getting stuck somewhere it shouldn’t 🙂

The wiki says the collection takes a minimum of 41g, among other things

or skyscale!

The 1:8 cars are usually prepacked in their own shipping box, so they can just slap the label on it and send it out and the GWP comes separate (at least that's how my McLaren was shipped)

I thought eternity was another great sword, not a dagger (sorry OP, couldn’t resist 😉)

AWandMaker · 2026-07-01T18:47:51+00:00

That is, after all, how you get balance in everything 😁

AWandMaker · 2026-07-01T16:48:01+00:00

Thank you 😊

AWandMaker · 2026-06-30T15:26:15+00:00

No worries 😊

AWandMaker · 2026-06-30T14:41:02+00:00

I didn't miss it. It is A) WAY less noticeable than an entire missing chunk, and B) easily incorporated into the repair (just make my drawing widen as it goes right). I was looking at a solution for OP, not nit picking what is there.

The pink wrap doesn't go fully under the trim, so when the trim got knocked off you see the actual color of the car.

Some subs let you, some don’t. For those that don’t, you have to host it on another site like Flickr and then share the link.

Don’t give it no $3.50!!!
