I realize to some that this concern is foolish and that I should build\/buy more display cases. Although I don&#8217;t disagree, I thought about how I could build and not create an horde like collection.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, I decided to try my hand at building kits for sale. When I build any kit, as is evident by this entire web page, I take pictures through the process. I could enjoy the build, sell it and still have the pictures.<\/p>\n<p>This month, I started the 69 Corvette Coupe that I picked up from a hole-in-the-wall shop for $12. I also wanted to see how quickly I could finish a build. I would need to focus only on this build which is not my normal mode of operation. By the end of the month, I had every part prepped and painted.<\/p>\n<p>While out of town for vacation, I stopped by local hobby shops and picked up a few new kits and supplies.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5518 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/the-bench-july-2018\/models-2018-354\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-354-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-354-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-354-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5519'>\n\t\t\t\tWhile out of town on vacation, I stopped by local hobby shops and picked up these kits and supplies. \n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/the-bench-july-2018\/models-2018-355\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-355-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-355-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-355-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5520'>\n\t\t\t\tOn the first day of my Vette build, I separated all of the parts and prepped them for paint.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/the-bench-july-2018\/models-2018-358\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-358-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-358-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/importnut.net\/models\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/models-2018-358-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5521'>\n\t\t\t\tAfter washing all of the parts with soap and water, I dried them in my dehydrator and staged them for this picture.
