    I was looking through my models and found 2 die cast cars of Dale Jr. When he was starting out in the old Busch Series. Both cars at the time I bought them cost me $20 each. One is the #3 Vanilla Wafer car, & the other is the #3 Oreo car. They're still in their original packages. I also found an SR-71 Blackbird model. Unfinished.

    Some of the prices for the models now is absolutely insane. "Vintage" or not, prices are ridiculous. I can remember buying model 1/24 kits for $2.50 and Testors enamels were .19 cents. With my lawn mowing money I could buy a model, paint, brushes and have enough leftover for a milk shake. And yes, I still build models and have the means to buy whatever I want. But 45-60 bucks for a 1/24 or smaller? With a rare exception, forget it. That's a royal screwing. No wonder the youth today could care less about modeling, they can't afford it. Look at the majority of people who attend these swap meets----full of grey hair and bald heads. Except for the R/C cars, those who fly R/C airplanes have the same type of enthusiasts---mostly old farts just like me.

      @@THROTTLEPOWER This winter for a change of pace, I decided to build a Daniels Beer Wagon Kit I had lying around. This morphed into my building 5 more cars over the past 3 months. A Tamiya Lancia Stratos, 1950 Chevy Pick-up, 1968 Shelby Mustang, 1936 modified, and a 2001 NASCAR Earnhardt Monte Carlo. For a long time, my main focus has been building R/C airplanes from plans, the occasional kit and helping others in the hobby. My latest airplane build, a CAP 231 recently placed 1st in masters class for a club build off. Back to the plastics. I really enjoyed building the cars and now have a few in the closet ready to go when the urge strikes me again. It was/is fun! Great job with the swap meet video. It was nice seeing some of the old kits again.
