The70judgeman Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 @Nick- I could go to Steinhafels. My brother-in-law works there and I can use his employee discount. That's what I did for the recliner I bought. It's a $450 recliner I got a couple of years ago for $280 delivered and set-up by him. By "set-up" I mean it has heat, massage(upper and lower), and power recline. But anyway, I don't think I need something that nice just to display models in. Although, it would be nice...probably too nice. "Scratch and Dent" might work too. I'll have to go check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Apparently I got a new title! Instead of being an MCM Ohana, I'm now Prince of Valiants. I guess that makes me royalty! Thanks guys! So I changed my avatar to match... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 shipment from hobby link japan came in, G Reddy Rocket Bunny Toyota 86 (et al), 1/18 scale Tamiya Subaru R-2 SS and some super wide slicks on 15" deep recess old skool wheels. unfortunately fujimi who makes the wheels no longer includes all the disc brake parts but the tires are nice soft and smooth. anyone else notice how MASSIVE this rocket bunny Toyota box is? at least a third bigger than the 1/18 scale Tamiya box! oh yeah and a glue bomb-y but unpainted uncertain t missing a couple of parts, ebay find and not bad once I cleaned it up a bit...got the spare parts already and will just put them on and display as is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 didn't notice until right now looking at that pic of the uncertain t: still has the little plastic nubs that should have been trimmed off on each injector stack. duh. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I almost forgot that this one showed up in my broken mailbox! Got it for $15 on eBay, and I want to turn it into my sister-in-law's old car. Add lime green paint, black interior, NJ plates and some well placed stickers... I did buy the kit for this project for my own shelf, but once we got talking about her first car and she had such fond memories, I wanna give it to her... so the promo is probably best for a gift to a non-model person. Mary got a brand new car Mary got the one she was savin' for Now everyone here is so charged Mary never looked so good before And we wanna go where she goes We wanna listen to her radio Can we ride? Mary can we ride? Can we ride? Mary can we ride? Edited February 10, 2014 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Finally got one of my Holy Grails. Not in the best condition, but hopefully salvageable. Only came with three original wheels/tyres (free to anyone who asks), but I already had different rolling stock planned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Some paint ,decal setting,and Cadillac`s. The 68 is incomplete,missing bumpers and glass,it will need pretty much everything from paint to tires,but got it cheap. The 64 is in nice condition,it needs an engine,little polish and some BMF to get to it`s former glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 These both showed up a bit ago. Plan is to build a small diorama of a guy building a Factory Five Cobra in his garage. Car will be only partially built with the engine still out. Need to try and find some 1/43 scale people. That's the plan anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordairgtar Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I got my state and fed tax refunds today! Bought a new coat as my old coat no longer zipped up and I was tired of being cold.

Bennyg Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Monogram ac mack bulldog tank truck, ultra bright chrome BMF. Also ordered a zvezda 1/43 mack from cars. I like Mack trucks in case you didn't notice. The only model of a mack I've never purchased is the premier 1907 mack which I keep an eye out for. That's my holy grail.

ffreak Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I got my Aoshima Lambo Aventador from HLJ, and during shipping, the handlers weren't very kind to it !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I got my Aoshima Lambo Aventador from HLJ, and during shipping, the handlers weren't very kind to it !!!! Sounds like a typical UPS/FedEx job, only way to ensure thst a box won't get crunched is to either not put a "Fragile" label on it, or put a LiPo battery fire warning label on it......

Fabrux Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Went to the local chain thrift store last night and picked up an internally sealed Revell 2010 Camaro SS kit for $7! Only had the mangled box top but all the bags are still sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Todays haul. Ebay got me again, not too bad though. Only 64.00 shipped for the 4. Sadly i was only after the truck kits. Everything is 100% complete and all bags are still sealed, decals are mint and not yellowed at all.

Austin T Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm digging the weird splatter paint job on the Camino. You should build it like that and Photoshop it onto an old street rodder magazine cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Its a decal and they are in great shape. It comes with a Caddy engine and a chevy engine. Not my style but kinda funky. It will be going in the sell box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
