Gunze did offer one years ago in a curbside version.

Outstanding, and a great save on the Danbury piece!

Great Survivor/Resto save! Another one lives!

MSRP is about $17, but they're listed with a few eBay sellers cheaper.

MCG never offered the '32 grille insert separately, although I'm almost sure someone else did years ago.

Yep! That's the way I do it too!

It happens all the time, plus I have way more models than I'll ever have supplies for.

1991 build...

Very cool! Different and cleanly built! BRAVO!

Yep! You'll be addicted in no time flat!

These, and they're NICE!

Welcome to the world of eBay! You'll be amazed at what you can find there.

Like everyone else said! Just a gorgeous build!

Like Thommy says! Get your built models out of their packing material ASAP! I'm fortunate enough to work in a business where boxes, bubble wrap and styro peanuts (to an extent) are abundant. My unbuilt kits (and there were plenty), went in large, sturdy boxes. Some of them are still in the same boxes three and a half years later, although they've all been moved around and repacked for storage.

Here's how it went with my move almost four years ago. Each model was wrapped in an inexpensive freezer bag (carefully), and then wrapped with multiple layers of cheap toilet paper. I did it that way because TP leaves fuzz on the model. Figure on using a fair amount of TP for wrapping. Then, each model was placed side by side in a heavy duty corrugated box. A layer of styro peanuts went on top (gently), and the process was repeated. Two layers in each box, max. It goes without saying that your models should be transported to their new home by you, and not the moving company (if that's the case).

Really nicely done! A rusty, crusty, go-fast Olds!

Snaps on the inside, and a trim piece outside covering the snaps. Very nice!

It's based on the Monogam kit (1/24).

That's what Thommy Geiger calls me, so I changed my profile pic.

I'll hazard another guess. From the pictures I've seen of a stock '32 roadster, I'm guessing there's a wooden structure (shaped to match the rear body curvature) that mounts just inside the upper rear body behind the seat, containing snaps. Finding a good image is difficult or impossible, as Harry can attest to.

Never. There are none around in my neck of the woods. I've never even been in one.

Forgot this one...

This 'un...

I'd have to agree. My son was always exposed to some form of modeling in our house, mostly because of me. My primary interest has always been automotive modeling, but I did tinker with model railroading for a while. I encouraged him to try modeling, but never "pushed". In the final analysis. he's more of an outdoor kind of guy, and is happiest with a big kite strapped to his back, sailing over a lake or ocean somewhere. So be it. Hobbies evolve, and future generations might be making their own "kits" with 3-D printers.
