You might check a pet supply store for a small fish tank. I picked up a couple at a Petco. I think they were $14USD ea. You can put a few models in one. It could be turned upside down and put on shelf or make a lid of some sort. I am always trying to find a good solution for this situation also.

That's mad skills right there. A challenge is fun once in a while. Nice jewel out of that pile of junk.

61 Ford Starliner. I like all the Galaxies but this is my favorite.

Very nice. That takes up some major room.

Thanks Bob. I put 2 light coats on then 1 "full wet coat" I just polished it out, paint was a bit thick already. To me, every paint job is an experiment.

Another Revell snap Raptor. This is a very nice kit. I finished it in early Nov. Just now getting around to posting it up here. Spray bombed with Rustoleum Cherry red, color sanded with 1500 and polished. My only gripe with this kit is that I wish it had decals instead of the thick shiny stickers. It's not perfect but I like how it came out. Thinking about getting another one and make it look like its been around the block and thru the woods several times. Thanks for lookin'.

Superb job all around. No one can say they didn't see that coming at them. It really stands out.

That turned out nice. There's just something about a big purple truck.

Too cool. I think of that old commercial back in the 70s where that old lady hollers Whoop de doo for my Subaru!! I believe it was from a Midas muffler commercial. Been a long time.

That looks nice. Real metal eject cylinder is nice touch. All that is missing is the trash stench and some 1/25 scale maggots to cover it with........

That turned out nice. The wrecker body looks like it would be tricky to get everything straight and square. I have one of these around here somewhere waiting its turn. I second the thought of getting some outdoor pics of it.

Welcome to the hobby. Looks like you are off to a good start. THE best tool for this hobby is the internet. I have learned tons just reading stuff on this site. One thing is to look in the Q&A forum on this site. Tons of info there and in the wip section. You will learn as you go what tools you need, the sky and your pocketbook is the limit. These guys are a pretty good bunch and are always willing to help. Don't be afraid to ask questions. You should start a workbench thread on your build so we can follow along. Good luck and most of all have fun.

Very nice. That continental kit looks good on it.

Nice. Great paint work, black is kind of a pain. That was a great chase scene. I really like how the Charger was able to grow new hubcaps when they fell off. Now to make one after the wreck/explosion?

Very nice. I have one of these somewhere around here that I'll get around to one of these days, or years....

Nice work. Captured that used and abused look.

Very nice. I owned a trash company years ago, started with an IH Cargostar with Heil 4000 like that. The truck was great, packer not so much. Did you build this from blueprints or eyeball engineering? Either way great job all around.

Nicely preserved for a 37 yr. old build. Nice job on both.

Great idea and beautiful execution of the top swap. It definitely makes you do a double take. A 1:1 version of this would be cool.

Very nice. I still have to work on my weathering skills. That is a good kit other than the major flash.

Nice work. One thing about the 50s and 60s cars, you get good at foiling after you do a few of them. I have one of these somewhere that I'll get to 'one of these days' At least I keep telling myself that.

Great job. I need to find one of these kits.

Very nice.

Cool. It really looks the part there. Well done.

Superb job all around there. Pics 4 and 5 done in grayscale would really put it back in time.
