About 10 to 12-years ago, a nice couple here in Toronto had a website offering new 1/25 static car kits at around $12 to $14 each. It brought back some fond memories. Now as an adult with a slightly better budget, I bought a bus-load of kits figuring I'll need something to do later on down the road when I retire. Most of these were tucked away under the stairs for all these years.

It's too bad that Cindy and Marty retired their website. They are well known in Toronto. They still work at flea markets.

Now that I started converting some of these to slot cars. I look at them very differently these days. It's possible that I may have added a few cars since that photo.

Do you collect model kits?

Cheers,

bring - take or go with (someone or something) to a place.
gather - come together; assemble or accumulate.

No mention that the number of items that are accumulated, brought together, gathered or collected are not to be used.

I am a collector of slot cars, some I have used, some other people have used and some in an unused state, but all part of a collection.
