The first thing I did on finishing the model was try that because someone
(cough cough) said something like that to me- and the weight of the bulk of the
fighter overcame the peg's holding tension, and the fighter plummeted the ~4
feet from my standing shoulder height to the ground, shattering on impact and
re-creating the scene in the trailer a little more realistically than I meant
to.

But, I got to re-build the model!  :D
