Aw, c'mon, John - have a little sense of humour ! I did track down that article and found that what it really is about is using a house plant and a plastic car model to create the "Tacky Garden" in question. It's miniature art! Actually, I think it's a neat idea ! Yes, a 300C car model was used for the "derelict" car. The writer of the article goes into great detail, about the methods used to turn a brand new plastic car model into a "junker" . It's well illustrated and explained. I really enjoyed this article, and I am thinking of creating such a scene for my office... it will give my clients something to look at, together with the 300 pictures on the walls - and give some purpose to the obligatory plant... 300'ly John
