Rare models
I have always wished I could afford the MOC models. Guess I will have to stick with your excellent pictures.

PICS - Albert, have much enjoyed all 3 of these "rarely seen" postings. This one reminded me of how I display the two Buicks in order to explain why some models cost more, to friends if asked (I rarely mention how much any models cost). These two Motor City versions from the same casting are an excellent example of this, just compare.
The full MOC with the extra detailing is worth more because:

Motor City USA version is just stunning in it's detailing.

The USA version is a wonderful model, however . . . So, just don't display them together.;)

Thanks for posting these two together Albert. Cheers and Happy posting,
Steve
PS IMHO With a bit of work the excellent castings of Brooklin models can proudly sit right next to a full MOC without a twinge of shame.
