There are all kinds of web sites out there for models and Amazon has provided me with many models. Very time consuming, but interesting, and I enjoy it. It sure does add up fast! In the past year or so I've bought mainly 1/25th scale models of an 06 Dodge Magnum, 58 Thunderbird, 53 Hudson Hornet, 75 Gremlin and a 77 Pacer, 61 Pontiac, 57 Ford two door wagon, 80 Dodge Ramcharger, 65 Comet, Jaguar XKE, Porsche 928, Citroen 2CV, 70 AMX, and others. Kits are out there, too, called Snap Tite, which don't require glue. I have a 63 Corvette kit which may come in handy for when I'm older. I've come across quite a few die cast cars that have been interesting to me because I haven't seen plastic versions of most. And there are places like Autohaus that have some really different, but challenging, models like a 57 Plymouth Savoy four door sedan. And swap meets for kits and promotional models and such. It's very easy to blow a pension check or two.Dan COcean Shores, WA

It's been so long since I've looked at models, what are they
making them of? Not material, but like trucks or cars?

Yeah found this out a few years back. We have a hobbytown USA not
far from my home with a good selection and all the glue you could
need. They've got a good website too:
https://www.hobbytown.com/store-locations
That link should tell you if you have a store
near you.Method of last resort is Amazon. They sell it
all.Finally this is the BEST online model place
I've ever found.If they don't got it, you don't need
it....lol.

Some of my fondest memories growing up was
building airplane models during the Vietnam era. F105 was
the first one I ever built. At 5 years old!
2 inches of snow on the car at 6am. Gone by
8am. Spring? My tulips don't know it......
Enjoy!

Tried PVC glue

We have a toy store in my small town of about

order items. They have glue for sale, but I recall
glue being restricted for adult purchase only for
many years now. And prices for both have gone up a
mite since the 1950s.Dan COcean Shores, WA----- Original Message -----

Michaels craft store. Last time there I saw a
section with models. Also look up a local

models. Nick(NJ) We have your snow

Super Wal-Mart to pick up a model car for my
grandson, who just turned ten, as I thought it
would be a good way to turn hm onto the Mopar
car culture that grandpa has always enjoyed.
Building model cars/ tanks/ airplanes/ etc was
a part of my youth and a good way to find how
things go together.Wal-Mart no longer
caries models. said they did away with them
because "kids sniffed the glue". Makes about
as much sense as doing away with guns because
someone with mental issues uses them
inappropriately. Treat the problem by doing
away with a related ancillary item... Where
are the parents?Regardless, I found
this to be a great surprise, and now I am
going on a search for Mopar models. Actually
have a couple, but wanted the "easy" starter
kits, and didn't plan on going on-line to find
them. Guess another sign that I am indeed a
dinosaur...PS: Just got
another inch+ of snow tonight. Will it never
end????? Where is the "global warming" I was
promised???Larry (Akron)*************************************************************To unsubscribe or set your
