Every time I spot a kit at a flea market the seller thinks its worth $25+ because the date on the instructions is 1982.
Yards sales are another story though.
That might remove a lot of material in a real hurry. Maybe for bad sink marks in tough locations?
As for the rock tumbler, I can't see it being good for much when it cones to anything as soft as styrene. Maybe for cleaning up parts from metal bodied models (Humbley/Gabriel) or stripping diecasts without using chemicals.
Wow, that is really great looking. I really love Avanti's but there is enough wrong with that kit to keep me from really getting fired up about building one. You did great.
Nick, happy to have you.
The Stude is really taking off now.

Still working on the racing livery decals.
Assembled for the Cannonball CBP and awaiting it's decals for Carrera Panamericana. I'm very happy with how it's turning out. Comments and criticisms welcome.
I love CBP's. They are the best way to get a model accomplished.
And Jason does have a point. Forget popularity, start a CBP for whatever build you are fixing to start. It doesn't matter if you have 3 participants or 300. Build what you like.
I suppose it's no shock to see a movie/TV car built box replica stock, but I was actually hoping to see if anyone had built anything wild with the kit.
Thanks guys. I gotta say I'm not interested in building a real Ferrari. So this kit appeals to me. I'm not quite sure how it's gonna be built at this point, but I AM sure I'm gonna do something that 'ol Enzo would not particularly appreciate.
I picked one up in a trade for a group of kits. I've heard all about how it's a kit of a kit car, Corvette running gear and all that, but aside from that it looks pretty nice. Has anyone done anything cool with this kit?
