Hey AL, that explains alot of things. The folks at Aber and Eduard are not really modelers but a group of folks who were abused as childeren by fathers who were modelers. This started out as theropy but to their shock they found they can actually make a living at it. Imagine sitting in their board meetings, in between the laughter everyone saying "I cant believe they actually think they can build that stuff, lets make it even smaller and see what happens".

(that was ment as a joke to anyone who may be wondering)

Back to the question. Its the little tiny bits that are soo hard to even see let alone assemble. And this is assuming you can get them off the fret without the fret tab (whatever its called) ending up being bigger than the acutal part.

As to the flying off into the void, I am concidering an offering each time before starting, just pick out a few bits that may not be needed and cast them over my shoulder. Perhaps this will satisfy the carpet monster.
