![]() I've decided that before I build anything else new I'm going to fix or finish every model that is damaged or incomplete. I know everyone's heard this scratched record before, but I really need to reduce the junkpile.
![]() Some are as simple as a broken fin while others, like my Maxi Alpha 3 cato, are more involved. So, first off the bench is my Semroc RDC Moon-Glo. This was a freebie I received about 9 years ago. It was built, primed, and then forgotten. I picked up some green glow-in-the-dark paint in 2013. This weekend I finished the paint, decals, clearcoat, shockcord and streamer. The finish was brushed on to give it that authentic 1963 look. I really like how it turned out and think it would make a great upscale someday. |

That’s a Great way to save money,,, or keep from buying new kits ! I tried this many times. I have so many, that if I attempted it ( again), I’d never have the chance to build a new kit again ! Keep on, keeping on......

Wow, these are pristine, too. Can you photograph or scan the rest of the catalog? I've been faking rockets out of the one at Ninfinger, but the scans are a bit grainy compared to yours. I had no idea that they had a Seymour mailing address. My maternal grandmother who I never knew was from there. It's probably my Mom's favorite place, even though much of what she knew no longer exists.
