• Question: Thumbs up or thumbs down. PICs Thumbs up means I will assemble it as is. Nothing else done to it. Thumbs down means I will keep the engine, tires and wheels and probably the chassis for something down the road and the rest goes in the trash. 3 attmepts ....
  • Re: Question: Thumbs up *NM*
  • Thumbs up. *NM*
  • Respectfully, Terry, trash it and move on. FWIW, I've finished stuff my gut said "no" to. When I look at--or think of-- it, I only get "P O-d" all over again. Got enough stuff to raise my blood pressure... *NM*
    • Thank you so much for the total honesty. I'm not POd at it just frustrated. We'll see, at this point it will just set on the bench and talk to me for a while. *NM*
      • I never throw kit "stuff" away. Never know when you, or someone, needs a part. Of course this causes an ABUNDANCE of "stuff" collected. *NM*
  • Thumbs up but do what you want to do. *NM*
  • Life is too short, got too much good stuff waiting for me in the stash. Trash it and move on! *NM*
    • I appreciate your honesty. I only have 8 unbuilt kits so I don't have that much waiting. *NM*
      • WOW!! Only 8 unbuilt? Do you have another hobby? Just kidding. *NM*
    • Sorry if that was insensitive. I just thought that you were probably like many of us, too much stash to build, too little time. *NM*
  • Perfect diorama or wrecking yard candidate, but as others have said.....your choice lol. *NM*
    • Thanks but that means I have to do a full diorama. I'm to lazy at this point in like. *NM*
  • Throw a scale tarp over most of it, move on.
    • I have done that in the past so I might just do it again. *NM*
  • You might just give it a very light sanding to bring the peeling paint closer to scale or just give it a purple bath and set it aside in case you ever need something from it. You know if you toss any of it, in a month or two you will need some part you tossed. ;^) *NM*
    • I tried the purple pond and alcohol twice and this is what I got. *NM*
  • Take the body parts and interior, make it a diorama piece, and reuse the rest *NM*
    • That means I would have to build a diorama and I have no place to display a diorama. *NM*

    • That's a great idea. I have several finish builds that I need to get rid of and that would work. I hate Ebay and Paypal so I wouldn't have to deal with them. Thanks again. *NM*
