The Joys of Unpacking

[Swifster]

I moved back to Florida last year and finally getting to unpack my stuff. Still looking for my paints and brushes. But I've found most of my kits. Some were surprises because they've been out of site over 30 years. My Mom must have had these packed up in her basement. These include old JoHan kits such as a '63 Chrysler 300 (hood less), the Heavenly Hearse, the '68 Fury I police car and the '60 Plymouth wagon police car. I have three Little Red Wagons and two Surfites. I am missing a few that I know I had. I had a Lotus Super 7 that was half complete,  a Trabant, a '53 Studebaker, a WWII Jeep also have done and an Avanti.

I had a lot of paint so I hate to buy all new stuff. Maybe I'll get enough to do the little 1/32 Avanti I found.

I know how this is. I've been going through my stash in the garage and found things I forgot I had. A first issue 63 Olds by JoHan all pristine and untouched, plus a 63 and 64 Buick, a 62 Mercury and much more. Found a project I was working on apparently...a 1/32 scale Lindberg Cordoba and a Monogram 1/32 scale 69 Charger without a body. Was obviously thinking of merging the two together for a better detailed Cordoba.

Looking forward to unpacking my stash.. I shipped all my kits and supplies from AZ last month to my house in Ohio, in the process of packing up the AZ house and should be settled in in Ohio in a few weeks.   Hopefully by Memorial Day Weekend I can start unpacking my stash..

It is always a good day just to go through your old stash and come up with more projects and ideas.  Ah life is good.

I moved about 17 years ago and just recently got back into modelling. I have many hobbies like electronics, playing guitar and building/racing/collecting ho slot cars. It was fun to unpack old built ups and the boxed goodies.
