o-man Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Got a few things from eBay. Got another SLK, went together well so I wanted another one. Decided I need a few Chrysler products in stash so I got three! Edited October 16, 2013 by o-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey oscar, that Sidewinder truck; does it have an engine or they build it curbside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey oscar, that Sidewinder truck; does it have an engine or they build it curbside? And what size a truck is that? Is it based on the full size Ram or the smaller Dakota? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furiousgeorge Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The sidewinder has a viper engine. I think it was based on the Ram, I have one in a rebuild pile somewhere..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 A bit off topic but interesting. I was cleaning out my inlaws house that is sold. On the back of a closet shelf I found this box. Seems someone got this camera for a gift around 1976 (the date on the paperwork in the box) and never used it. So here it is mint in the box! It's still sitting on the display base in the box. I have a small collection of vintage cameras that my father left me that go back to the early 20th century. I've added a few of my own since, my first 1968 Polaroid Swinger and my Sony Mavica, first digital camera. So this one will look good on the shelf too!

o-man Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey oscar, that Sidewinder truck; does it have an engine or they build it curbside? Yes, it does come with a Viper engine And what size a truck is that? Is it based on the full size Ram or the smaller Dakota? From what I've read, its not based on either truck, but is called a "Dakota" Sidewinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Won a $50 gift cert from the LHS earlier this week, used it to get the AMT '66 Nova reissue and AMT Dodge Petty Dart...neat kits, lots of parts..like the new parts in Nova, gives a lot of possible configurations.

KingSix Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Got a couple of "oldies" from eBay today. Bought purely for the nostalgia factor. Had these when I was 7- 8 yrs old.. wanted to do them again. Pretty happy except for the condition of the Dodge Dart. Was mailed out with no box, just wrapped in bubble wrap.. box was pretty bad off but the plastic was intact. Who does this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Eh? Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 ... Who does this ? Somebody who: a) doesn't care is an eBay newb c) is being cheap with shipping materials / costs LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who does this ? someone who shouldn't be selling on eBay! I'd leave neutral or negative feedback stating, warning- do not buy from this seller. Mailed model kit in bubble wrap, totally destroying box and product. Seriously - the box is half the product on a model kit. Yea, you got a buildable kit, but would have a hard time selling it if you had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I picked these four old crustys up from an older friend if mine who built these back in the 60's. Not sure what route I'll take with them. The good thing is that they don't have a lit of glue. He also has an original 65 Coronet 500 that he built back in the day as a replica of his new car.

Tom Geiger Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I already filed with eBay Cool. Someone needs to set these clowns straight. Many years ago I bought a built up Chrysler convertible on eBay. It was shipped to me in a bubble mailer with no protection and the windshield frame was shattered into pieces. When I emailed the seller his response was "You're a modeler, fix it!". I left him negative feedback and he left me negative feedback in response. This was before Paypal and eBay had no guarantees so I was SOL and his negative against me stood. It stunk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Guess that seller learned a lesson and won't be doing it again! I'm amazed at how few people actually know how to wrap and mail stuff. I just take it for granted! And on the other end of the spectrum are the folks who wrap stuff sooo good that you can't get it out without destroying it!

KingSix Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I was amazed at how fast it was resolved.. despite the fact the box was destroyed, I still left the guy good feedback. Didn't seem right to trash the guy after he agreed to make it right. At the end of the day I got the kit for $8.00 .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Got this kit for 9 bucks on the bay. Never built a Heller kit that I can remember. Looked to me like an early Ford so I took a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Got this kit for 9 bucks on the bay. Never built a Heller kit that I can remember. Looked to me like an early Ford so I took a chance. You did get a good deal on that one, a lot of vendors think they're gold! They're sitting in eBay Stores for up to $100. I love those old Heller Citroen trucks and cars. They all build up off a common platform and require good modeling skills. They are very nicely detailed. I had some issues assembling the multi-piece body on the Bordon's Milk Truck. The common chassis on them all, builds up as part of the fender unit. Some of the chassis parts are fragile, ala old Revell kits. I do have an album of research photos of stock versions if you need. If you are planning on rodding it, the AMT '34 Ford chassis seems to fit under it like it belongs there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks Tom. I did not think about rodding it but now I may have to give that some thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSix Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ebay came through again. After some communication issues with a questionable seller, it being delivered to the wrong address and chased down I finally got it home. Revell Ferrari 308 GTB, from 1979, open box, unopened bags, $5.45 .. not to shabby ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting. Does it take Polaroid-type film of some kind? If so, Fuji is now producing at least a couple of different types of Polaroid-compatible film. I've seen some pictures shot with it, and the image quality and color are excellent. Check a good camera shop near you, as they're should be one in Phliadelphia somewhere. Otherwise, B&H Photo in Manhattan and Abe's of Maine (which is actually in New Jersey now) carry it as stock item. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
