I had the Camaro when I was a kid ... those snap Monograms are cool, aren't they? I got one of the reissues (different car) several years ago, still have it. Cool feeling to put new life into something that needs just a little TLC!

Great Collection Fred !!! Love Those Things !!!....In The Future, If You Have to remove those stickers, after you peel off that top layer, try putting a dab of the white/non grit, (creme- style) - hand cleaner on the sticker area, and cover with a small hunk of kleenex, for about ten minutes, ( repeat if necessary) or, if the surface isn't painted, you can use rubbing alcohol on the area .....guaranteed to work , every time !...Anyway; your building is real inspiring Fred !!!

Vegatable Oil(Crisco) on a Kleenex works too. Rub it in 'til adhesive is gone & clean with
dish detergent.

Great save on the builds Fred and I'm happy I could help you bring them back. I'm really taken in by the Leap Hog myself, it's probably the nicest I've seen one of those done and got away from those fancy red pants that the guy wears. I'll tell you that the box variation you have for the Leap Hog is fairly rare as well. I've only ever seen one before yours and it's sitting on my shelf obove the computer. Everything looks really great though and a nice addition to your collection.
Oh and I know what you mean by those old stickers. I usually just use my tweezers to pull them free after warming them up which leaves the adhesive behind then I just go back with an auto wax to clean off the junk but then I usually polish the bodies of mine so the wax just gets things started. The main problem I've encountered is that for some reason the stickers would fade the plastic underneath and leave a spot that is very noticeable.
