I've recently acquired some models from an Estate Sale. I'm comparing it to my 1:18 scale CMC version.

I'm surprised that Marty is able to keep finding room for his growing collection. Marty, what are you using to "bribe" your missus?

You're surprised? I've been there! I've seen his collections.... about the only available room for this 1/8 behemoth is where his pics were taken - in his beautifully remolded kitchen! Perhaps he'll just build a show case around it? 😯 😮 😲
- Marty, do you have a "P.O.A.?" (Plan of Action )

To answer all questions, I've stored away all of my other 1:8 scale models. I thought of storing this one too, but it's currently for sale on eBay.

I'm thinking Marty can park this in his garage next to the 1/1.
