Yes. Been a long time doing a puzzle for me until this fall when I picked up a few for a friend of mine that is home bound.  One of his favorite movies is Jaws. They had a few Puzzles at Ollies that were movie posters. Yes Jaws was one of them so I grabbed him one. Great poster but a vey hard puzzle for our old eyes. It came out great and so will all of these Model car Puzzles. Too many Chevy's for my taste, Why no Buick Riv or and Olds? 

We usually have at least one or two puzzles during the winter months and for me matching the details in the back ground has always been the biggest challenge. As for Jaws, the first time I saw that movie I almost jumped out of the front row of the balcony when the Shark first surfaced. I have never seen a Jaws puzzle but I'll now be keeping an eye open for one. As for these new auto based puzzles I have to agree with you about the lack of cars like the Olds or Buick and especially Pontiacs.

Does anyone who does puzzles glue them when done ?

A friend of mine did a few years ago. He used white glue and news paper on the back. Now they sell a glue for the back of puzzles.

My grandfather used to do that. He was in to planes and even built them out of wood. He would glue the jigsaws when finished and frame them. A lot of the jigsaws would have a couple of pieces in the wrong place and I'd wind him up by pointing them out, it was hilarious as he was quite the character! I really miss him.

I've been doing that for years. Brush thinned white glue over them so they stay in one piece then glue them to MDF board and hang on the wall. 

I find the 1000 piece ones suit me best and there is now a resurgence in interest in puzzles down this neck of the woods no doubt due to Covid.
