I think you're right. The floor looks fine but the walls are a little heavy on the grime. Regardless, she did an excellent job with this setup! The Welly IROC fits in perfectly!

You would not want to see what she has done to Yatming and Zee cars and any other old cars the doors open if it has a paint job like a normal car she keeps it .Race cars or stripes like the yellow camaros yatming did are heading for the auto wreckers .l.o.l.



By the way you know your cars very well to me it just looked like some G.M. shaped car l.o.l.

Ack! Don't wreck them- a little nail polish remover takes care of those unwanted tampos easily. On Yat Mings they wipe right off.

Yatming .What she likes about them is the doors get ripped off and the car looks more like a junker. She bought the trucks that came out a couple of years ago just for that reason to rip them apart i bought 6 of them same reason she wanted me to help her with a autowreckers. Never know with her, moods change plans change.l.o.l.

They are 1:87 scale wrong size as all her figures are but she makes them work l.o.l. Should be able to get these at any good hobby shop that sells model railroad stuff . Faller ... Model Power... and Preiser figures are some of the ones she buys she has no idea what these were .Model train show 10.00 dollar bargain l.o.l. They were a set ,engine shop mechanic and a guy with a tire in his hand was part of the set Once she opens a pack of anything she forgets who made it like any kid with a toy.
