Yard Sale Find
#1
Found this old Revell shell at a yard sale, paid .50 for it ,so I'm thinking of incorperating it with the IHC kit Grusome Casket Co. and turning it into a fab shop.So here are a couple of shots after a bath to remove dirt,grime and decals.

Yard sales(tag, we call them up here) are always a good source for great finds.
Doesen't matter that you find them in pieces. They always can be fixed, or in my case, bashed into something else.
Great find. Can't wait for the results.

I went to my Happy Place, but it was closed for renovations.

A few years back I picked up a pair of those kits that were missing parts (and a few extras thrown in).I was able to combine them into this.    
Hope this gives you some ideas...
