Yes Dennis. For years I would help a buddy sell @ two big car swap meets. The
Pomona show and Long Beach. I would pick out the models I wanted as compensation. I've got 400-500 1/18 along with unbuilt 1/24 and some 1/32 NASCAR haulers. There are also 1/43 and 1/16, 1/12, and 1/8. I'm going to get rid of it all. I've lost the urge to collect and I've no place to display. So for me...FINI.

Are planning to post them on the DC4 Auction?

Yes, I am. Give me a week or so. I'll post here on the site to let you know.
I'm clearing out everything.

That stinks Christopher.
Sadly, it's a part of the hobby. It's even worse when it happens to a car that you've modded and invested a lot of time and effort into.
It happened to my 1 of 1 (in 1:18 AFAIK) '71 Hemi GTX. The door and the front valence got it bad. Luckily, I was able to buy a defective Daisy Dukes Satellite and used it as a parts car. The color isn't a perfect match but it's close enough. Earl Scheib repair?
It's also threatening on my Sunstar '71 Boss 351 that I fully detailed. It's got a paint bubble on the driver's door. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, that really stinks. Luckily, none of my 1/18 projects has ever "spoiled." (fingers crossed)

It's upsetting, although so far only one of my 1/18ths has clearly suffered. Like Bob, it was a 1971 Plymouth GTX that had a door fall apart.

One is too many (of course) but I'd say you're doing well Mike.
