No doubt but then one can get caught up and disappear if common sense isn't applied to any hobby. Unfortunately I seem to lack common sense when it comes to hobbies. God bless my wife's heart, it's she that drags me away from the edge when I get too close. Only recently have I started to listen to her, I dang near ruined us when antique cars was my drug of choice. mtdoramike, mtaylor, druxey and 1 other 4 Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration

No rabbit hole's decor is complete without at least one, possibly two, of each version offered by the manufacture. Such tiny little screws, drop one and it's a goner. You could pick up this kit to build or use for parts. The sirens from within the rabbit hole are calling, pull the wax from your ears and listen.................KB 🐇 gjdale and mtaylor 2 Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration

hollowneck Posted March 22, 2019 #8 Posted March 22, 2019 I built this Pocher model a couple years ago: Lamborghini Aventador 1/8 SIZE (not scale). Most of the kit is diecast. I understand that the paint on the diecast body pieces is identical with the paint on the real car. It is a stunning model. The kit and the plans are superb and I really enjoyed building it over a three week period (it wasn't a "build"- more of an assembly job). I wanted to try something a little different from ship models, obviously. My 7 yo granddaughter has a Victorian three-story dollhouse now "on order." Yikes. The good news? No 1mm screws.
