Well worth your time either way, the visit or the hobbies.

ebay has a lot of old models, where I got all 3 mentioned, from collectors that quit for whatever reason and a liquidator.....nic-nac store type thing, buys them out and unloads on ebay.

I learn something on everything I do and each one has a history of challenges that makes you remember it and gives you a platform to handle the next set of them.

I just finished a 1941 1/25 scale Ford "woodie" station wagon that dad had when I was a kid. This one could be built either stock or as a hot rod. I already had a 1940 Chevron (tail light) black Ford coupe like my grand dad had early on but I kept it stock. This one I took the hot rod route, with the fuel injected (yes hotrodders do fuel inject the old flathead V8s) Ford flat head V8, Chrome custom wheels, Goodyear 20" (scaled) sport tires, rubber with full raised letter ID, tire size, and even direction of rotation arrows.

I had a few sitting people from an O scale (model train jargon) set I used on an airboat I built from scratch, electric propeller driven motor that will really make it scoot.

I painted them and put them on and in the wagon. Theme was California beach with the hotrod, a pair of lovers necking in the back seat, good looking gal sitting on the front fender waving, and a fancy surf board (came with the hot rod kit) leaned up against the car......you don't suppose she was looking for a little help with her board and driving her hot rod in the beach sand do you?

Lots of fun.

Mark
