Great looking Mustang. Very well done.

Sixth Scale Shero has some information on a garage shelf build for out Australian friends.

@bandit1 Get them directly from Pioneer Plastics. Might be less expensive in the long run. @Donny Thanks, Don. Here is where I got the idea from (with some modifications for 1/24 cars): Pop Culture Living Room Yes, that shelf is still to be built, plus the rack to left of the photo, and the rack that is off camera to the right. I'm going to be busy for a long time!

For a long time, I just used 1/24 plastic display cases that you can get in bulk from Pioneer Plastics or individually from Hobby Lobby on shelves in my office & work area. As seen here: Recently, I converted a metal garage shelf to a display cabinet. Here is a WIP photo: Still working on how I want things arranged. Bottom shelf will be for some storage & all shelves can be wired for lights.

Nice looking motorcycle engine. Well done.

Some nice-looking decals. What Porsche are the Marlboro decals for?

As far as individual truck kits, this thing is huge: Here is that steam locomotive that Mark mentioned:

Does anyone know where I can find an equivalent for this: Most places seem sold out, and I don't think Hobby Design is producing it anymore. Thanks.

Beautiful Ferrari. Very well done.

Nice looking Toyota. I think we called that the Lexus SC here in the US.

I'm not that bothered by the Mustang not having an engine as the kit is a snap kit designed for entry or less experience modelers. So, I get it, although the engine inserts are an interesting idea. I've seen them for some 1/35 kits. What I'm really hoping is that Revell doesn't mold this kit "in color", but I have a feeling that this kit & the Lamborghini will both be molded in color. The Lamborghini in yellow & the Mustang in the Dreaded Red Plastic for the same reasons that the kit doesn't have an engine.

Beautiful Porsche. Very well done. I think it actually looks better without the wing.

Great looking Chevy. Very well done.

Walt's even had an indoor track. Generally a good thing in Central New York. The photo of Walt in the beginning of the article is of him at his track. The used to have meets & all sorts of stuff there. They got rid of the railroad stuff about 15 years ago, and automotive model inventory was shrinking for Gundam. Armor & aircraft was small, and ships were basically nonexistent.

Sign of the times, I guess. 😢

We're losing a major LHS here in the Syracuse, NY, area at the end of the Summer: Family-owned Syracuse area hobby store is saying goodbye after a 50-year run It's sad to see, but I guess it was inevitable. Merchandise wasn't moving well, inventory wasn't all that great as of late (now I know why), increased competition, and kids generally more interested in videogames.

Nice Impala. Well done.

Cool Superbee. Well done.

Great looking Mercedes. Well done. Car looks great when it's not doing acrobatics!

Beautiful Porsche. Very well done.
