Building???No, no building...Displaying. Been making stands for various rifles so I can look at them occasionally, instead of standing them in closets...
Yeah, was looking for a plastic model of a Luger that I had back in the 60's and saw the MP40 and put in a lowball bid on it...and got it...

Woo, that's tough. I got a bunch of Little Johnny jokes that we used to tell heart patient buddies...
A bit on that Luger model from the 50's/60's...I actually had two, in different years...they were a green plastic model, kinda flat compared to a real Luger, and the grips were integral with the grip frame. It didn't shoot anything, but was advertised as being faithful in form & function to real Lugers. It was also a bit bigger than a real Luger.
I don't recall who made it, and both of the ones I had were a struggle to rack the toggletrain...I even Vaseline'd one of them, but that didn't help...
They came like any model; plastic parts attached to 'trees', with an assembly instruction sheet...It used steel springs and screws too, as I recall...I don't remember if the magazine was separate or not...
I been looking for one for years...A bit of my wasted youth...
