My parents were cleaning out their house to get ready for a neighborhood yard sale when they found a box of my stuff. They said it had trophies and models and stuff in it. Sure enough there were trophies and 4 models in it. Three of them were no big deal, just miscellaneous AFV's I built 13 or 14 years ago, but I of them is a truly magnificent kit (the kit was magnificent, not what I did to it). It is a 1/35 early Tiger 1that I built in 1978, when I was 11 years old. I am nearly dead certain it's a Tamiya. It has a detailed interior; driver's and co-driver's stations, engine compartment, turret basket, gun recoil system, etc. It also had very nice articulated tracks. Not indy link, but the track sections were linked by pins, as opposed to the normal rubber bands. There is also a moving suspension. It cost a fortune. The price, in 1978 canadian dollars was well into the thirties. After god knows how many years in a box, the kit is a mess. There are missing pieces, and it's filthy. It has just become a major restoration project. It needs to be cleaned and fixed, then properly painted. If I can get my hands on a digital camera, I'll take some pictures, and as I fix it, I'll keep a record of the work I do. Should be fun/frustrating/infuriating in the typical armor modeling way.
