    When some kid was lucky enough to get one of these as a gift they would certainly have been blown away. The red one is my favorite of the two. Awesome job Rob.

    Like the job you do on the diecast cars you restore. The reason why the model filler could be setting off is because of the environment in which it is stored. I had that same problem with some Flex Seal in the can.

They sure look smashing with their loads of beautiful restored cars aboard, you need to do a photo shoot at a car show diarama. Take care and be well.

You continue to impress me with your work. I don’t think I’d have the patience to do what you and your fellow restorers/customizers do.

    Next time you have to deal with rust like that, there is some stuff called naval jelly. I buy it at an auto parts store. It completely removes rust. It is an acid so you do have to take precautions. Both of these transporters are beautiful. It's hard go choose which is a favorite. I like the red one just a little more.
