Model Showcase
I've been making model cars since I was about 7 years old. Not all of them turn out to be winners. Many of them wind up as members of the sub-elite "parts bag." I have a 'survival of the fittest' view with my models. Some make the cut, some don't. If I like the car enough I'll consider re-doing it. Otherwise it's a quick, painful death once room needs to be made.

| For years most of my older or 'second string' models have sat in a modified iguana cage at my folks' house. Not terribly safe, as shown by the rear-end pileup on the top row which happened on the trip back. |
