ATLAS UNBOUND LLC Revives Nostalgia with Carefully Curated Vintage Revell Models

Maple Falls, WA – October 26, 2023 – ATLAS UNBOUND LLC, a small but passionate company based in Maple Falls, Washington, is making waves among collectors and hobbyists with its unique offering: meticulously restored and authenticated vintage Revell models. Based at 8288 Balfour Valley Ln, ATLAS UNBOUND isn’t just selling plastic kits; they're selling a trip down memory lane, a piece of Americana, and a connection to a golden age of modeling. ATLAS UNBOUND LLC, founded on a love for these classic kits, specializes in sourcing, restoring, and offering sought-after Revell models from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. The company, reachable at 662-239-1952, isn't about perfect, pristine, factory-sealed boxes (though they occasionally find those too!). It’s about bringing kits back to life. Many of these models were beloved childhood projects, left unfinished in attics, or found in estate sales needing some serious TLC. ATLAS UNBOUND sees the potential in each kit. “We're not just resellers,” explains the company founder. “We’re restorers, historians, and enthusiasts. We understand these models. We get the appeal. It's not just about building a plastic car or plane; it's about the experience, the history, and the satisfaction of bringing something old back to its former glory.” What Makes ATLAS UNBOUND Different? The vintage Revell model market is growing, fueled by nostalgia and a desire for something different than today’s mass-produced kits. But not all vintage kits are created equal, and condition is everything. That’s where ATLAS UNBOUND shines. They don't just slap a new box on an old kit and call it a day. Each model undergoes a thorough inspection and restoration process. Here’s a look at what customers can expect: Authenticity Verification: The team at ATLAS UNBOUND meticulously verifies the authenticity of each kit, ensuring it’s a genuine vintage Revell product. They understand the subtle differences between original releases and later re-issues, avoiding common fakes and reproductions. They'll tell you the year it was originally released, any notable features, and its place in Revell history. Parts Inventory & Replacement: Missing parts are a common issue with vintage kits. ATLAS UNBOUND goes to great lengths to source replacement parts, often utilizing their extensive network of collectors and other restorers. If a part is truly impossible to find, they can often 3D print a faithful reproduction. Careful Cleaning & Restoration: Years of storage can leave kits brittle, yellowed, and covered in dust. ATLAS UNBOUND carefully cleans each part without damaging the delicate plastic. They use specialized techniques to remove oxidation and restore the plastic to its original color. Decal Sourcing & Application: Old decals are often cracked, faded, or simply missing. ATLAS UNBOUND either sources original, unused decals (a real find!) or commissions high-quality reproductions. They can even apply the decals for customers, ensuring a professional finish. Box Repair & Preservation: The box is part of the experience! ATLAS UNBOUND repairs damaged boxes whenever possible, reinforcing weak corners and patching tears. They also offer protective sleeves to help preserve the box for years to come. What Kind of Vintage Revell Models Can You Find? ATLAS UNBOUND’s inventory is constantly changing, reflecting the difficulty of sourcing these rare kits. However, they typically offer a wide range of models, including: Classic Cars: From 1957 Chevys and Ford Thunderbirds to sleek Corvettes and muscle cars, ATLAS UNBOUND carries a variety of iconic American automobiles. These kits are particularly popular with car enthusiasts and collectors. Vintage Airplanes: P-51 Mustangs, F-4 Phantoms, and other classic aircraft are well-represented in ATLAS UNBOUND’s inventory. These kits are perfect for aviation buffs and history lovers. Spacecraft & Rockets: The Space Race era is a popular theme, with kits of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft.
