I bought a few things online today....I bought a set of Aoshima Werfen GT-03 20" wheels for the Fast and the Furious Supra kit (they are much closer in size than the included Racing Hart M5's that are under-sized for the kit)



I also bought a 1/12 single carb setup from TDR Innovations for my 1/12 '69 Camaro.



I also ordered a Tamiya Skyline 2000GT-R Hard top kit from the LHS as well!

Not much, but I did get 3 new resin Duster hoods for upcoming winter projects.

Didn't get anything modeling related today. Just got, what now appears to be 100% confirmation that things are going to get absolutely horrible out here early next week. Two feet of rain and sustained winds of over 70 mph here in SE, Connecticut. Looks like I'll be without power for at least a week like I was with the hurricane last year, but now I get this disgusting, sick feeling that there will be significant wind damage. Without having a job, I simply cannot afford severe damage to my property. Two feet of rain over a 36 hour period will cause massive flooding in my basement which would likely cause severe damage to my house. Of course homeowner's insurance does not cover flooding, and since I don't live in a flood prone area and it takes once in a lifetime storms like this one to do flood damage, I don't pay the exhorbinantly higher fees to include flood insurance.

Don't know why, but I just feel like things are going to be terrible for me.

I can only wish you the best...and that i do..prepare for the worst...and hope for the best....protect yourself and family first...And yes be careful...

Looks like you had a good day Nick.

[Bill Eh?]

Nick, you have scored an amazing amount of great project material from these two events. Looks like you've got more than just one winter's worth of building to do.

Casey I love the Streakers box art and wheels too even since I saw the box art as a young child.

Thanks Don. While the media are really still hyping this thing like it will be another Katrina, what I'm seeing with regards to the rain pattern in the storm and the direction it's still going, I don't think this will be as bad as Irene was for us just last year. All the rain and convection in the storm appears to be on the Westward side of the storm and based on its pattern, it looks like my area is just going to get some good wind and not a huge amount of rain. Another thing is that The Weather Channel keeps talking about all the projected paths showing it coming to New Jersey, yet they forget about the one model track that shows it continuing to head northeast and turn AWAY from land. If that one, still being projected as a possibility, track takes place, then we'll get very little if anything.

It's already a bit windy out there and that's taking many of the leaves off of the trees. Heh. I had my lawn cleared out by landscapers just this past Thursday, and all the leaves that have fallen the past couple of days have it all covered again. (Just had a pretty good wind gust come in right now and this storm is still down by the Carolinas).

I just have a feeling that this isn't going to be as bad as they are making it out to be. I'll likely still lose power, but perhaps not for as long as I did last year with Irene. (10-14 days. I can't fully remember how long I was out).

Found these while browsing a antique and consignment shop. The boxes were a mess but it looks to be original issue. $9.00 for the '25 T and he through in the trailers for free. As far as I can tell the T is complete and it had a bunch of extra stuff in it. A full set of Cragers and a bunch of parts for what looks like a 60's Chevy, though I have no idea what kit (anyone?).

The trailers aren't as complete. No amber clear parts for either but aside from that I think all of the Fruehauf Van is there. The Watkins with the reefer unit is missing some rims and the suspension pieces but the reefer parts seem to be there. There's also some damage to the plastic where the tires had melted some of it. Mostly superficial and on areas that could be fixed. Not sure what I'll do with these though.




Extra parts to identify.

[Chief Joseph]

Dropped by my local Hobby Lobby today to pick up some 3/32" K&S brass tube but all they had was aluminum tube, so that kind of sucked. Then I walked over to the clearance section to look for bargains and they had Iwata external MAC valves, regularly $29.97, on clearance for $1.07. SCORE!

[Gothic Kustomz]

Got this, and yes It's already under the saw:

[Frank]

I have been looking for one of these for ages, but they go too high for me on e-bay.
Got this one from a chap in New Zealand for a good price.



Also got this to go with another glue bomb I have, I now have enough parts to complete one.
