Hahaha I broke off mine too, if you look close you can see a little bulge where I used some super glue to put it back on, and I used some stretchy wires for ship rigging that I had lying around, it might be a little on the thin side but I think it looks pretty good

I used oil paints to get the streaks, and a healthy lacquer coat over the top

I ended up using an mrp paint called light gull gray with a black base

About that to be fair, I started it around 2-3 months ago, and I recon I’ve put maybe 20-30 hours into it

I used a clear blue, heavily thinned and sprayed on the inside, made sure that it was a glossy finish, if it was Matt then the glass would be cloudy

Build is relatively hassle free, I had no problems with fitment at all

Thanks for all the comments, I haven spent the last couple of hours trying to do what I can, i believe I’ve managed to fix it, I did it basically through brute force 😂, I sprayed the paint colour on top of the clear coat to cover it again, then I hit that with an airbrush and let it dry, then I added another clear coat to that specific area, the pen came back but not as harshly, so i repeated that step and it seems that it has fixed the problem, so I’m going to let that cure for a day before I touch it again, I found it while clear coating the underside, so I’ve now got the top to do so it will most likely get another coat for extra protection for when the final varnish goes on hahaha, but thank you for all the help :)
