Since I'd given away my copy of AirDave's Tardis, I wanted one for myself, and tried to crank it out in one night after a long day at work.
If you aren't familiar with this model, the only tedious part is cutting out the 32 little rectangles and edging them. Made great progress, but it was getting late with only having to attach the roof. I was very afraid of the white tab peaking out from under the roof on the front edge, so I took extreme care to get the front edge just right, but when I glued down the sides and back, there was my (at that time) greatest fear ... white peaking out.
Keep in mind that I was up at 6:30 in the morning, worked ten hours and stubbornly decided that I was going to do this in one night. So I gently worked the hobby knife under the edge to lift the roof so I could use my blue pen to take care of the offensive whiteness.
Honest, I just barely touched it, but the ink sucked into the paper turning what had been a problem with a hardly noticeable white line into the gigantic blue blotch from hell, as illustrated in the first two photos.
This morning before going to a meeting, I printed up a slightly enlarged roof and covered my error. So learn from my error. If you think you are too tired, you probably are.
