Indeed, I've spent the morning finding, marking and filling in little errors (mostlly voids) here and there. Sandpaper, sawdust and PVA glue are great tool.

Argh, the Happy Bumbler strikes again.
I was filing in, sanding , filling in and sanding when I managed to break the top off one of the Banisters.
I used the "Hot Water" trick and to get the Banister out.
Setting up the Dremel was the next step. The project was to drill a .6mm hole in the broken top and the base of the Banister, add a small nail with its head cut off and glue the pieces back together.
The outcome while not perfect, passes the "four foot rule".

This is not happened to me yet, but I predict it will at least I know how to fix it now. Mistakes make us better modelers
Way to go Jan, nice fix! Magic Mike
Glad I could pioneer that fix.
Good morning Jan. Nice fix. We all share your pain and that little cracking sound is a modeller’s nightmare. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Cheers Grant
Yup, that little cracking sound is a great description of my modeling expertise.
It looks like we will have a white Christmas after all. A very fine light snow fall is in progress, just enough to cover the bare ground. The forecast is for a dusting to half an inch.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
Have you opened that big box????
