Hi Judy, ...Unfortunately, with all the delicate detail Harbour Lights puts into their creations, there comes a risk of damaging the piece. Every antenna, mast, flag, or freestanding tree is another opportunity for a piece to be damaged in a blink of an eye.

The styrofoam molds do a great job of protecting the piece in shipment, but then comes the time where it comes out of the box. And then, it gets even tougher to get it back into the box.

I always exercise extreme caution when handing any of my HL's or AB's. We as collectors know what can happen. Then comes the clerk at the store who thinks these pieces are indestructible....oops!

:rolleyes: Bob :rolleyes:
