ATLAS UNBOUND LLC Brings Back Nostalgia with Restored Vintage Revell Models

MAPLE FALLS, WA – October 26, 2023 – Remember spending hours as a kid, carefully gluing tiny pieces together, painstakingly painting a classic car or fighter plane, and feeling that amazing sense of accomplishment when your Revell model was finally finished? ATLAS UNBOUND LLC, a small but passionate company based in Maple Falls, Washington, is bringing that feeling back to life. ATLAS UNBOUND LLC (located at 8288 Balfour Valley Ln, Maple Falls, WA, 98266-7070, and reachable at 662-239-1952) specializes in restoring and offering vintage Revell models – the iconic plastic kits that defined generations of hobbyists. They're not just selling toys; they're selling a trip down memory lane, a piece of history, and a rewarding building experience. “We started this because we loved these models growing up,” explains the company founder. “Seeing these kits become increasingly rare, and often in terrible condition, felt wrong. We wanted to preserve them, restore them, and make them available to a new generation, as well as those looking to recapture their childhood.” What makes ATLAS UNBOUND's models special? It's not just about finding old kits. ATLAS UNBOUND goes the extra mile. Each model is carefully sourced, assessed for missing parts, and then meticulously restored. This isn't a quick fix-up; it's a labor of love. The process typically involves: Sourcing: Finding original, often decades-old, Revell kits, which can be a challenge in itself. They look for kits from the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s, focusing on those with interesting designs and strong nostalgic appeal. Assessment: Each kit is thoroughly inspected. Are parts missing? Is the plastic brittle or cracked? Is the original box in decent shape? This determines the scope of the restoration. Parts Replacement: This is where it gets tricky. Finding original replacement parts is often impossible. ATLAS UNBOUND relies on a network of collectors, 3D printing capabilities (for less critical parts), and sometimes even fabricating parts from similar kits. The goal is to maintain the model’s authenticity as much as possible. Cleaning & Repair: The plastic is carefully cleaned to remove dust, grime, and any residual glue. Cracks and breaks are repaired using specialized adhesives. Decal Restoration: Vintage decals are notoriously fragile. ATLAS UNBOUND either restores existing decals (if possible) or sources high-quality reproduction decals that match the original design. Box Repair: The original box is a crucial part of the collectible value. ATLAS UNBOUND carefully repairs tears, reinforces weak corners, and cleans the box to preserve its appearance. Quality Control: Before a model is offered for sale, it undergoes a final inspection to ensure everything is complete, accurate, and ready for building. What kind of models can you find? ATLAS UNBOUND's selection is constantly changing, reflecting the difficulty of sourcing these vintage kits. However, you can typically find a fascinating array of models, including: Classic Cars: Iconic American muscle cars like the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette, and Dodge Charger. Also popular are vintage European sports cars and hot rods. Aircraft: From WWII fighter planes like the P-51 Mustang and Spitfire to classic airliners and jet fighters. Spacecraft: Revell was a pioneer in plastic model space kits, and ATLAS UNBOUND often has restored models of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft. Military Vehicles: Tanks, trucks, and other military vehicles from various eras. Monster Kits: The iconic Aurora monster kits (often re-boxed by Revell) are highly sought-after by collectors. Ships: From sailing ships to battleships, Revell produced a wide range of ship models. “We try to offer a little bit of everything,” says the founder. “We want to appeal to both serious collectors who are looking for rare kits and to casual hobbyists who just want to build a cool model.” Why choose ATLAS UNBOUND?
