Exotics_Builder Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Received from Shapeway's. What a high end 3d printer can do with the work of a talented designer in our club. This full detail set (2 per) is not cheap, but add that to your 4x4 with the Revell snow plow and a few add ons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLOODBANE Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yesterday I got the AMT "Little Gasser" show car and the "Lil Mixer". I dont think Im going to build them though. i built the Little gasser when I was a kid and havent seen many of them. I do see the Lil Mixer, but I still think Im just gonna set on them. I also got the Super Dune Zinger the other day and its almost done. I have the new JEEP on its way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 The eBay truck dropped this off today! A bit OT but cool and to give you all an idea of other things I collect. This is a postcard that was actually carried by the Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg in 1929. It originated at the air station in Lakehurst, NJ and went to England by way of Friedrichshafen, Germany. It was back stamped upon arrival there, A very cool piece of history that was actually there! I just love holding history in my hands. I was very surprised to win it at the $9.99 opening bid. Folks were sleeping, these usually sell for much more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordairgtar Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I used to hate the look of them, but this thing has really grown on me! its a real turd so I wont be getting any speeding tickets but its incredibly reliable and the mileage is great so there's a lot to Luv They weren't meant to be street scorchers. Just dependable little trucks. I liked the look of them and the Isuzu P'UP it's based on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Goschke Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 This beauty arrived on Monday. Super clean builtup '58 Bonneville. No skirts, louvers, fins, etc., ever! The aerials and mirrors (only one mirror remaining) were glued on without drilling holes in the body! Not cheap, but reasonable, "buy-it-now" from ebay. Photos from the listing...

No landlord, nobody can ever tell you the lease is up. And if you're a home builder, you can find a home that needs some work and put some sweat equity into it!

Tom Geiger Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 was That IS a great piece of history. And $.53 to airmail that in 1929. That wasn't cheap. Later- You are right. I was thinking about that after I posted. In 1929 first class letter mail was two cents! An airmail letter went for five cents. The official rate for a post card to go from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen was 35 cents, the rest must have been the postage to take it from there to England.

Mike Chernecki Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Got an Iwata HP-C Plus and a set of quick connect fittings for all my airbrushes. Wow, the Iwata is awesome, did a quick test with some Scale Finishes paint and it sprays like a dream. Also, I would recommended the quick connect fittings, one hose fits all (Iwata and Badger) and easily swap between airbrushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mademan Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Not Model related.... but I got the Plates for my 1:1 63 Nova 2door Hardtop today! ( no pics of car as it is still in storage, and pieces) Nova translates to "does not go" or "No go" ........ Its motivated by a 450hp 383 Stroker , soon to receive a Weiand 142 blower plate seemed fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Cullinan Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Good luck. A duplex is a great investment. Let your tenant pay your mortgage. Never been to Tennessee,sounds like a cool state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
