I have a problem with my International Space Station 21321 set, all the blue clips that hold the panels to the main beams are crumbling, and weakened enough that I wake up to panels on the floor. I have no idea why this is happening, but hoping someone can help? Ideas I can do different to prevent it after I replace these parts? It seems to effect all the blue clips not just the big ones, even the little pod lost one of its solar panels :(
Some details, it's probably 4 years old now. I keep it on display but not under glass, in a 72f room. I have difficulty keeping it totally dust free as it's very fragile to begin with, but it's never really been touched otherwise.
Thanks for any ideas
Edit: not the technic connectors, the blue solar panel pattern tiles are the problem
So there's lots of good advice here for actually solving the problem, but I'm going to propose the alternative:
This is unironically the current state of the ISS, and maybe it's worth it to let art imitate real life in this case, at least until it deorbits next(?) year.
The real life one still has a few years in it. I believe the deorbit is planned for 2030
And even that date is probably a TBD soon™
