😠 Boh what a shame. I really hope you can epoxy it together. If you have place put some thin but strong plastic behind it to get enough strenght in the reconnected parts so it looks good again from the outside.

I am really happy I received my ps/1 in a better condition and hope yours will shine once again also.

Glued the puzzle..

maybe some sanding, and repaint will make the damage invisible, but is it worth the effort ?
