What resale value? This is MINE. It's a happy place mobile :)

I have a bit of Krylon left, if we don't have a wind storm today I might take the van outside and spray a patch on it's belly to see if it will stick. And there might be some grey hanging around. Another part of the work will hinge on if I can get the fixtures out so I could properly paint the body. If not the bus stays yellow but the Barbie stickers may come off and get replaced with something else. I'm wondering if the odds and sods are in there, folding chair, barbecue etc, how much is lost somewhere, and what ever happened tot he towel because I remember wanting to keep that nice.

Okay, so thanks to this thread, I had a dream last night in which a whole Barbie garden was being auctioned off. It had a clear plastic waterfall, plastic trees, and a place where people could sit under a canopy. In the dream, the starting bid was $60, and similar sets had sold recently for over $700.
Of course, I have a fever...

Then as the keeper of Little Walken it's my solemn duty to say: "You gotta have more cowbell!"

Man! He's as creepy as the real thing. Did you sculpt him ? I love walken.
Sorry to be OT.

He's a recast (shame on me) of an impossible to find sculpt, I did paint him.

No shame in it if you're not selling recast no? I mean I too have bought recasts of things but thats because they are limited! If they were still available for purchase I would buy the originals. Great mold though. ....Looking at your blog!

It's been longer than I thought since I looked in this. Still no sign of the towel. I think I'll take out what I can of the interior then give it all a really good cleaning. The stickers look worse and there's less of them than I thought.

You could do what this guy did here:

But yeah, still total envy... asides from the space and general difficulty of using it a lot. By god I want that uselessness in my room... *tries to rearrange 4 cars under his desk...*

I thought about fins and rockets but I want to keep the inside how it is, color and decor change aside. The flat top always served well for keeping a box of clothes on it. There's a trailer hitch in the back and somewhere I have a trailer and a quad. Or I could make one to put Roger in.
