I stash kits to build them one day! lol Every kit I buy I make a plan for, but I've got over 700+ kits. I have a spare bedroom as my hobby room. I have shelves going around the room times two, stacked with kits, plus a closet reconfigured to hold kits top to bottom with a built support shelf built halfway. There are a few racks of shelving also. My goal is to build a dozen models this year. So far I've started a few but competed '0'. As a hobby we can collect (I think childhood memories come into play here) and some we can actually finish, but it's exciting just to buy a new kit or find a holy grail. I can go into my hobby room and sit there and just look around and it brings a smile to my face. All stresses leave..it's my happy place! Whether I open kits to for parts-swapping or reminisce about an old glue bomb, it's all fun! Now, I've used the other spare bedroom to store 148 kits. Will I keep buying? Of course I will, if I see something I like! I'm about six re-issues behind already! ps: I'm thinking of becoming a vampire and do a tv show...then I can build for another thousand years of so and have enough money to buy more kits!

Very nice! Do you have the dimensions and angles of the body? Or, did you just wing it? I'd like to try to make one! I'd love to see more pics!! Maybe a tutuorial? Cheers!

I have an old wood teacher's desk on one side of my hobby room (former bedroom) and an Ikea table on the other side. Both are full of stuff and messy of course! All four walls are adorned with Ikea shelves to hold mostly kits (about 600+) and some builds (lots started, not enough finished). However, these days I seem to build in the family room, in front of the big screen tv, using a portable computer desk and a couple of tv trays..( I like to spread things out!)

Wow! You need to do a paint tutorial!!! She's a beauty!

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll try them out. Too bad about Automotif...it sounds perfect...unfortunately hobby shops seem to be a dying breed everywhere. Cheers!

Hi! I'm travelling to Nashville and Atlanta this Saturday for a week. Can anyone recommend any hobby shops in the general area. I'm willing to drive a bit. I don't get a chance to buy stuff from the US very often. (from Canada,eh!) Thanks for any advice!

It's also playing at 4:30 am on Sunday (Nov 25) on the West Coast...got it taped.

RIP Larry Hagman. IDOJ was a great show! Barbara Eden was the hottest babe on TV in those days. She also upset the censors by being the first actress to show her belly button on TV!

Great job! Do you guys plan to sell it as a kit?

She's a beauty!

Awesome rod! I want a real one.

Cool '32! Where did you get the girl?
