    I picked up an item that is sorta model car related....I found a 4 foot long glass showcase, with a glass shelf, mirrored inside panels and doors, sitting outside a beauty shop with a sign on it that said "no charge". You spell that F-R-E-E! It is now residing in my storage unit, awaiting the move to our new house. I didn't get a chance to take a pic of it.

    It should hold a few built models.

    I've often been told that if there are no pics, then it didn't happen, sooooooo......here it is:

    This thing is as heavy as refrigerator, and more awkward to handle!!

  2. Forgive me if this isn't the right place for this topic. If not, could a moderator please move it? Thanks

    Can any of you savvy model builders and kit-bashers tell me what this wheel is?

    I found these in a kit tonight, and looked them up on the WWW. The real ones look pretty good, to me!

    Sorry for the picture quality. i take pics about the same level as I build models!

     

  3. Seems like the primer would seal off anything from the plastic getting to the lacquer.

    I once had a problem with MCW paint. It wrinkled up something awful. I stripped it,

    cleaned the body really good, used the same primer, and the same paint.

    (I'm a sucker for punishment.)

    The second spray down went well, and it's in the display, now.

    That was over ten years ago. Still looks good.

    Before I abandoned this project, I'd strip the paint and reshoot it, again.
