SpyTHINK 008: ModelVISION! from Gummy Candy?

With you SAFE @ home sitting out the COVID19 panic-demic, we sincerely hope you are reading books--and building models!

ModelVISION! is a very important skill--the U.K. was saved by a ship model with metal plating convincing the king to do this to his real-life ships resulting in them being faster in battle than the only-wooden French ships...go to major military air shows and trade convention and there's models galore there! 

One of the pitfalls of plastic models is they collect dust all over them and thus don't look as nice as when you built them unless you hire a housekeeper like TV's Hazel to constantly dust them off...which can damage them...

Or...you can cover them in clear display cases!

Clear plastic display cases are expensive and you may not be able to afford them.

THE GOOD NEWS is if you look carefully a lot of the food you buy comes in clear plastic containers that can be used as model display cases if you carefully clean them up and slowly peel off their product description labels.

The Zachary family of soft gummy candies come in an AMAZING 6.5" diameter round clear plastic cases! 3" tall, these cases can be fitted with a round cardboard covered with model railroad grass or sand using Elmer's white school glue or kept clear. A circular mirror bottom to reflect can be made by carefully smoothing aluminum foil to remove wrinkles and placing it on the bottom piece.

A diorama!

The photo here is what I did with my 1st Zachary candy display case--James Bond's Aston-Martin VANQUISH from Die Another Day with a Su-27 reminiscent on top from the MIGs exploded in Goldeneye by Derek Medding's superb ModelVISION! Fx skills... 

Above is a dune buggy from "For Your Eyes Only" in TAN in another Zachary orange slices container made into a display case by cutting a circular base piece of cardboard and white gluing some green model railroad grass. 

James Bond is REAL.
