1st styrene effort-Babe Ruth Aurora Great Moments in Sports

#1 Post by v338241 »

Hello Fellow Clubhouse Members - I haven't done styrene since I was a kid and I found a reasonably priced version of Aurora's Great Moments in Sports - Babe Ruth hitting his 60th home run in 1927. I have a son-in-law who is a Yankees fan and this will be his Christmas present. I had a god time building and finishing this kit and I must say it is a very nice styrene kit!!!

Good idea to get a case for it--models are more fragile than most people realize.

Rocketeer - I agree - everything I build will be displayed under some type of case.
Dust will destroy your effort over time and trying to keep a model clean can be a chore!!
