We however, realized the fear that indeed, a piece was missing! We also learned that Ravensburger does not have a missing piece replacement program for puzzles 5000 pieces and under.

For now, I am going to try my hand at making a replacement piece... we will see how it goes, if it doesn't work out, then I will have to go to the doc! I am going to try and fix it using a printer, and wood epoxy like quick wood. I am going to first try and print the missing piece using a scanner and photoshop. Once I print the piece, I will place the surrounding pieces face down and lay in the new piece image, fill the whole with the epoxy, and then level it off with the surrounding pieces and let it dry. Wish me luck!
UDPATE: WE FOUND THE PIECE! Here is the completed puzzle!
Wow, that really sucks about the no replacement pieces for 5,000 and under. You would think the cutoff would be anything 5,000 and over as that's a pretty damn big puzzle at 5,000 pieces. What a bummer! So what are you going to do with the pieces that have the wine spilled on them? I know you said you're going to attempt to make a new piece for the missing one, but having to do that for 25 more pieces could be quite a daunting task indeed.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing it though! Woo hoo It's pretty cool looking.
