Goddamn it!!!

2 accidents today (8 hrs apart).. Tamiya extra thin tipped over on my workbench, the second time on some completed & painted wheels for my latest kit..

Now have a margarine tub lid CA'd to the bottom of the jar to prevent further occurences.

You'd think that a jar with such a low cg would be hard to tip...

Yes I managed to salvage the wheels. They will be abit textured once I repaint them. 2 road wheels, 3 return rollers, and an idler from a DML PZ III J. The return rollers, I just need to refinish the tires. The roadwheel rims will be errm textured, but the tires will be ok. The idler will be missing some detail, but perhaps now is a time to try some heavier weathering...
