Might help a lot of new builds out there to see what we all have done- everyone can learn from these and avoid the same silly mistakes we all have made! Everyone is human and can and have to laugh at ourselves sometimes. The adrenaline rush and the excitement to get started and tear into the build can sure lead to a few mistakes. Some costly, some not, but all are usually fixable!
On this forum I have seen upside down ab buttons, scopes reversed, thighs turned sideways, etc.
I made a bunch-
Tube stripes backwards on one side of helmet
Rushed into trying to put on helmet stickers on tears and traps without using the soap and water method; horrible job resulting in a re-order/re-do
Did not see to cut posterior shin shims wider until after I cut and ran out of material!
Punching holes for snaps too close together which you then cannot snap into;
Incorrect rivets used on first try of ammo pack
Used the gloss black first on E-11 resulting in a total sand job
Took some initial pics with hand guards on wrong hands
Used too much glue on latex hand guards and ruined rubber gloves with spillover. Had to cut off and re-do
Sure there are others I have tried to bury away that I am forgetting. Anyone have any good ones to add?
Oh my tube stripes-
