Nick Winter Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Spent the day in Hamilton at the Drag Strip memories Show, got to help out pushing a few of the cars in, any time you get to actually touch and direct the placement of a piece of Drag racing nostalgia is a good day. Anyway, got a few things in trade from some friends, also was given a few things by friends. Howard Cohen gave me the F150 built up, the '58 chevy and open 454SS trucks were from two other good friends, Anyway the pictures can speak for themselves. Here's a link to Howards photo's he took today at the show, first 3 pages are from this year. http://public.fotki.com/howardcohen/vintage-drag-race-show/ Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I picked through a few built/junk boxes at the swap meet and found these two complete with all their associated parts: Got some MPC stickers, a GMC van grille (A-Team build), and STP Turbine kit for the riding mower, another '60s ear seated driver figure, a bunch of '90s AMT and Revell/Monogram catalogs, and some more AMT Chevy Rally wheels from the '72 Nova kit.

The first bunch is from the swap meet yesterday where I met up with Casey. From Casey I got the Willys MB, Monte Carlo, Ferrari parts(in plastic bag), and various older car mags and Pontiac advertising. From the show I bought the Pegasus wheel/tire sets, brakes, whitewall tire/wheel sets, '71 Charger, and JoHan '75 Cutlass(already took it apart to paint and detail). From ebay I got both Fiero's, a few '80's Revell and Monogram Pontiac Grand Prix's(not pictured, 1 traded), Pocher Volvo F16 Engine, Corvette Indy Concept(not pictured/traded), and various license plates(not pictured). LHS buys- Porsche 928 S4, '66 GeeTO Tiger, and Nuclear Cannon(not pictured). From trades/other- '69 GTO Judge and Chrysler Atlantic(neither pictured) from Turbokitty, Parts Pack Pontiac 421 from Crazygirl, and the '48 Ford Woody that my wife found at a thrift store. Other stuff(not pictured)- the new Dr. Cranky book and stickers, 2 part epoxy, and a fine tooth saw.

Fender Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I tried to find the other topic like this but I guess I didn't spend enough time trying so I'm lazy or in a hurry. Don't know which. One of the reasons I came on board here was to gain more knowledge about model kits. I also like to look for old kits I used to have, be in awe of some of the builds, and to talk to people with my same interest =model cars. So.. I'm hitting the flea markets looking for kits and diecasts and not really having a lot of luck but now and then I stumble onto to some stuff . I'm not into re-sell. I'm not looking for what the stuff is worth but like I said - I'm into knowing whatever I can learn about the kits I find AND how rare or whatever they may be. These are some of my recent purchases- so if you are into it , let me know what you think or know. I appreciate it. 1977 Capri Group II 2108 Monogram Factory sealed 1989 Ford GT-40 #2 (blue one) 7130 Revell Factory sealed Jo-Han Turbine Car GC300 - don't know if it's original issue or how to tell if it is. The plastic seems pretty old. 1982 Mustang Imsa Miller Beer 2296 Momogram 70's or 80's Miss Budwiser Hydroplane "Bernie Little" - white plastic- no box- missing parts 1/12 Chips Motorcycle - built missing parts (not many) 1/16 57 T-Bird AMT? Built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMSANUT Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The mail man just arrived with a kit I have been trying to get my hands on for a long time. It just about completes my quest to obtain all of the kits for the exciting IMSA GTP series. The Le Mans Miatures Bud Light Jaguar XJR-13. I'll be building the Mid-Ohio winning car of Davy Jones. Now I only have two left to get..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J. Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just got back from Vista, Ca. About a 15 minute trip. I don't remember exactly what happened, but this box was in the trunk when I got home. Oh, yea-Let the modeling begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgflatliner Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 good luck with the trumpeter kit those things are so fiddly! it's a cool subject though. as far as myself, i managed to procure another Fujimi Enthusiast model, the Countach 25th anniversary Lambo, and the 1969 Porsche. i'm slowly getting the full series. slowly. it'll probably take me longer to finish them than it will to collect them though.

jrherald420 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just some clearance spray paints from Hobby Lobby, almost bought an airbrush......ended up buying finger paints instead!! lol For my 19 month old of course!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Boxes and boxes of stuff arriving daily! Every time a small box comes in the mail my wife will tell me I have "another present". At this point my one garage is near full. Today I added the T-Shirt order, I believe most of what appears in this photo is Round 2's show booth stuff for NNL East.

Quick GMC Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just got back from Vista, Ca. About a 15 minute trip. I don't remember exactly what happened, but this box was in the trunk when I got home. Oh, yea-Let the modeling begin! I'm not sure what is going to be more difficult for me, learning how to use one of those, or coming up with the money to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm not sure what is going to be more difficult for me, learning how to use one of those, or coming up with the money to buy one. Don't know if it is going to help yet, but I have been doing a lot of reading and talking to machinists. I also was told years ago to buy a lathe first(notice the back ground) to learn how metal works. As to the money, well I just don't get any new kits for a year or so which is not going to cause me to miss much. I have about two lifetimes of plastic so far.
