I just spray some water mixed with sugar on the inside of the box, weigh it down with a heavy book , let dry and that's all to it. Just be careful not to over spray the board , it will stain the box. |

I have seen something similar but using a washing starch instead, problem with using sugar is it attracts ants into the house. Col. |

Very nice score Bob! Those bikes seem to be pretty popular.
As for the sticky, wouldn't be a bad idea but it seems to stay close to the top. I'll see if I can help it along tomorrow evening. Oldskewljay and I are headed to a toy show where we usually pick up some good deals.

If thats the same one that was on the bay for 395.00 a week ago he up the price to 475.00 for the holidays I think........ hummm thats pricey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yep, I know Dave and he is in a bit of money pinch after loosing his job .. if you remember I tried cashing in on a mint kit from Dana but got burned for $400 plus .. pricey ? yes but I've wanted one for a long , long time and I knew Dave's would be dead on mint ... and after looking in the box I was right.. he packed thing like fine china.. I felt like I helped a fellow modeler (plus he's a drummer ) .... out in tough times plus with both of us being a drummer I felt comfortable doing the deal ... Dave's got couple other kits I'd like to have down the road as well... I've used to spend more for a couple glue bombs hoping to build a diamond out of a piece of coal .. this baby is a
true gem ! ;D

Not exactly a show rod model.... HOLY BATMAN LP!! [Photobucket cleanup] Picked it up at an antique show this weekend for $15.00. The vendor lied to me. He said it played well. It looks better then some of my LP's, but skips a lot.  Marty |
