If you could only save one model or print ...

"Pop quiz hot shot ..."

Okay, not really.

But if you could only keep one model or print/print-file that you currently have ...

Which would it be? Would it be a grail kit? Expensive? Rare? Pure nostalgia? Already built? Forever in box?

I'll begin ...



This is a 1:2 Gorgon (Medusa) bust I bought from Black Heart Models. The snakes attach by magnets. Currently $350 USD which I had to save up for a while. Solid cast and HEAVY.

I have no idea how to paint it, and am most certainly not ready yet. But someday ... maybe it could look like this.

That's simple, it would be this Revell 1/25 Jeep. Not because it's a fascinating kit or subject, but because my granddaughter gave it to me for Christmas 2024.

That is a sharp print. WOW

That is an awesome bust and that is a perfect reason to keep that Chris.

I am not sure I have a bunch of "grail kits" I am getting rid of so really not attached to the plastic anymore. I think the one build I would keep is Krampus he is by far the best thing I have painted so far.

Not sure which would be a keeper, but I know I need to save this one tammy built as a joke, but had heads turning at ACME back in 2021
