My collection is hung on walls but when I do put one on a flat surface for any length of time for modifications, etc., I wrap a rubber band around the wheel/tire/strut assembly to keep it from rolling if it's bumped. It's saved more than one from attempting a take-off roll when I move something accidentally.Teamski wrote:My wife just notified me that my F-86 took a dump off my desk, breaking the windshield and canopy! I'm away at the moment, so my lament will have to wait until I get back. That sux! This will be my first loss since collecting 1:18 back in 2001......![]()

I've always wanted to do that to an XD or 32x tank....Threetoughtrucks wrote:As a kid I built 1/35 models and I would heat up an ice pick to burn cannon shell holes in my tanks. Once in a while I would set off a firecracker inside a tank or truck just to see the effect. Usually just too explosive to look real for WW2. Would be correct now with a lazer guided bomb onto a Russian tank.![]()
