Trip Aiken from Truck Stop Models called me at home today and he told me everything I needed to know about the RMM models, and resin models in general. It was a pleasant surprise that he called me and I very much appreciated his call and the time that he took out of his day and all of the information he gave me!

Wow. That's really amazing that the RMM models are so expensive. There is even a 4x4 ARFF for $175.00! Why is that?

Its been a long time since I've looked a 1/87 stuff and I really like what I see. Some of the models are really well detailed and (only) cost 20-30 bucks. In fact I looked at the SSM-71,72 ALF 700s and even at that scale they got the mirrors and wipers in correct proportion. So what is C3's excuse?

I'm going to give some serious thought about getting into 1/87 and starting a new collection. Perhaps do some dioramas. Looks like fun.
