When my son was about 12, he went through a model-building stage and made a replica of a car my husband once had. Well, I was dusting today, and yes, I dropped it!  The main body stayed intact, but wheels and little pieces went flying.
I quickly gathered the little pieces and casually made my way on down to my craft corner, trying not to look guilty. Thank heaven for hot glue! The back suspension looks a little higher than before, and I think I put the rear bumper on upside down. There were a few small pieces left over, but I glued the hood shut so no one could tell. I think it will pass inspection...we really don't look that closely at it anyway.
Moral of the story: dusting is NOT a good thing!
I'd get a face lift - but then it wouldn't match my body! |

I have been there many times, my son used to build models all the time, I make a mess of several of them, but did the same thing you did , glued pieces back on where I thought they would look the best.

My mom never discovered the glued together pieces of the lazy susan (playing with ball in house) so you should be okay!!!
And I concur with Rhonda!

I have a needlwork sign in my kitchen that says "Housework Makes You Ugly." Although to look at me you'd think I'd done plenty!
Would a feather duster help with these fragile things?

Mary Ann - I seriously doubt that housework has made you ugly! You know, they say that people begin to look like their animals after a while, and your animals are beautiful!
I do use a swifter duster...my mistake was in trying to lift the display box rather than just move it from side to side. Hmmmm, I'm thinking maybe just a hair dryer set on HIGH might work just as well! ;-D
