Since this is my first real post, I wanted to start with a kit from the series that brought me back to the hobby. As a kid, I had all the Deal's Wheels kits. The Nomad is one of my favorites. This one qualifies as a restore and a great ebay score ($15 - mis-listed). Thirty years later, after finding a built-then-busted Swine Hunt at a local hobby shop ($5), I was rebit by the modeling bug.   Thanks for looking! |

Great resto job ! I got a built Stinkray for around $15.00 on Ebay years ago because it was listed as "cartoon car" , but $15.00 for a Nomad is a real steal !

Thanks all for the welcome. I've been skulking around Dave's, Tres' and Paul's sites for inspiration and entertainment over the years. Just thought it was time for me to admit I was addicted to plastic.

Just thought it was time for me to admit I was addicted to plastic. Admitting you have an addiction is the first step in totally indulging it. ;D ;D ;D ;D Great resto job! Brian |

Nice build. It's good to see these Deal's Wheels rise from the ashes and restored to their best possible condition.
