The70judgeman Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 A headache is what I got today. 3 1/2 hrs. of brake work, rotors and pads on all 4 corners, on the Dodge only to find a rotted brake line and a puddle after I tried to pump the brakes back up to pressure before test drive. Uuugggghhhh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 New tires on the car!!! Coming home from the kids last night someone had dumped a bunch of scrap metal on the road. Lost 3 tires! So did two other poor people! Seems some scrappers stole the stuff from a machine shop out in the country and lost part of it when they turned out onto the road! I don't have insurance to cover it so I have to pay out of pocket. Luckily I qualified for the Bridgestone card and have 6 months to pay. But still more than I can really afford.

AzTom Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I picked some older diecast HO kits at the Brass Armadillo Antique mall. Not my normal but they were way too cheap to pass up and I do like old Ford trucks As you can see they have some pretty nice detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kratvmnd Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Three Academy M998 Cargo/Troop Carrier Humvees How is the quality of Academy's kits? I've heard good and bad,but it's been mostly secondhand(so and so said). Are they from Tamiya's tooling like what Testor's did with Fujimi and Italeri?

Last night driving in a night rallye, I came over a rise to find a big buck standing in the road. My ABS kept me straight, but it sure looked like I was gonna have "grilled" venison. Then he just calmly walked away like he owned the road. I was shaking for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordairgtar Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Living here in the sticks, i've seen my share of deer standing in the road. I have to wonder...the old expression "He had the look of a deer caught in the headlights". When it comes to the deer...is that look fear, or arrogance? I've seen alot of deer that look like they think they own the road. I vote for arrogance. Me too, especially this one. He had a rack that was the biggest I've ever seen...it was quick, but I would say a 15 or 16 pointer. Someones gonna get a nice buck come hunting season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still see that smear of deer snot across my door window as I barely missed a big buck on my way to work one morning! Don't think my Sunbeam Alpine would have been in too good of shape had I hit him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill2525 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) How is the quality of Academy's kits? I've heard good and bad,but it's been mostly secondhand(so and so said). Are they from Tamiya's tooling like what Testor's did with Fujimi and Italeri? Of the first generation Humvee kits the Academy ones are the best, Tamiya is missing some underside detail and came out after the Academy kits. This may be from Academy having more access to HMMWV since they're out of South Korea where the US and ROK use them. Tamiya used a Italeri Humvee for their M242 Bushmaster equiped test mule. Haven't built any of the kits but the tires should be replaced, not much for the Academy kits for sagged/weighted tires except for the new tool M1151. CMK makes a engine insert and IDF tires, Legend Production Special Forces Dumvee conversion and assorted modern equipment and Eduard does photo etch for the Academy line.

ForcedAWD Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The weather was nice today so my son and I ended up at a local flea market and picked these up for $5 a piece. The Viper is sealed and the El Camino and Roadrunner were open but the parts were sealed in the bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think my Sunbeam Alpine would have been in too good of shape had I hit him! Hit one in June of 94 the deer thought she was faster than a truck doing 55 . Never did find her but lost a grill bumper and a head light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I've been after a U.S W.W.2 Jeep for a while, I had been toying with the idea of getting the Italeri version, but word has it that the Hasegawa version is a little more accurate, so I managed to get this off ebay for the same price as the Italeri version, hopefully should get it this week ....

Bill Eh? Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sam, I'm thinking your son may choose the Viper as the one he wants to do! LOL Nice score on the three kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercman Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 This is some of the things I scored this weekend. Got this one for 2 bucks. Also added these 3 rigs. This one is absolutely gorgeous. 39 Peterbilt for the tractor. Plus a couple of more building kits. Got these on the auction at the benefit. Half a gas tank. The guy buys these, and restores them and uses them for pin-striping practice, along with the plexiglass pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
