Looking for "parts lots" is dangerous

Nice job, those turned out good. I've done the same a few times buying parts lot on ebay. Whats the plan for the body on the LB chassis with brat tires? -

I have a few including a 1987 t type I've had for 26 years a 2010 camaro SS I ordered new, I race a 96 miata in spec miata and I have a 94 miata that I did a 5.0 5 speed swap - I drive this everyday spring summer and fall. I'm currently working on a 72 datsun 510 that I bought in pieces and a 1980 toyota 4x4 pickup. It is amazing how many details tamiya got right on the bruiser/mountaineer. -

I hibernate my 1:1 cars in the winter too and spend some of my time with my RCs. I've seen your pics of your RCs, what kind of 1:1 cars are you into? -
My son and I ran a few cars yesterday. The hornet is his first tamiya and he built it by himself. We ran the crawlers too and our stampedes (no pic). We drove RCs for a few hours and it was awesome.

Flipping through that book motivated me to finally but the electronics back in my scorcher. I took it for a quick run.... it's a better sand scorcher then it is a snow scorcher. -

Here is one of my sand scorches with the interior I just finished for it. -

A close up of the book picture. That's my original unrestored rough rider -
I was flipping through my baja bugs and buggies book and came across some great pictures on the sandblasted tires from back in the day. The details tamiya got right back then is amazing, check it out.

Awesome find, I don't really have a room it's more of a spot where I keep my cars and parts. I would like to have a room one day. I bought some rerelease kits and I have some project restorations and a few more I would like to collect. Would he nice to have a little hobby room to work on stuff.... one day.

How big is your parts stash?! I think I know everything that I have but I only have a few bins.

They are expensive but totally worth it. I'm not sure the WW2 will have the same "character" of driving and looks the a WW1 has but it would be a fun build with my son. I think I will need to find a WW1 for my wife and get her a wendy.
