The closest Ollies to me (Alexis and Lewis store in Toledo) had the Fairlane, Opel, 32 Ford and the Avanti's. They have not had any newer over stock kits out in a month or so.

Pay with cash and you don't have this problem.
I would think the employee that received the tip quit as soon as they were given a check with the money.

With as nice as the Semi kits were that Ertl put out, These Scouts are a bit under detailed for sure. You did a good job with it.

Nice kit to knock the rust off with. Looks good.

Stopped at the Local Grocery store and a 28/29 2 door sedan was pulling out. A very nice older restoration. A lady told me it was the Mechanic driving the car to get the bugs worked out for the owner.

Ron you are not wrong with watching out for resin dust. I think the box would be a pain to work around.
If feel the dust collector would work better. It looks to be a fan with a filter in front of it. Better than a nothing.
If you are handy with wood, you could make something similar to what we have at work. Our benches that we bench molds on have holes in the top that is connected to a dust collector. The dust goes through the holes and out through a tube. Small parts would cause a problem as they might fall it the holes. But for 30 bucks I would try the one you posted.

Now that is one of the few good looking Chevy trucks of that era.

I read this up north on my phone and I had a good laugh. I don't post from my phone so I had to wait to get home and get the laundry started.
I just spent a day with my brother using another day to clean 60 % of dads shed up north. The shed is 8 by 10 and there was 6 to 8 inches of chewed up pine cones, acorns and black walnut shells on any flat surface. Several nests were found and thankfully no live ones like in the spring when I was tossing a roll of carpet out the door. There are no walnut trees up around his cabin but he had more than enough at home. You see they watched him go in the shed for the walnuts to toss out to feed them along with the ear corn. This place is a four-hour drive so he was not up there every weekend, but the squirrels are smart and figured out where he kept the goods. They just chewed a hole through the sheds wooded door and crawled in. So today we patched the holes in the door up before we left. Just praying they decide to stay out this winter. LOL
If you want to have some fun while feeding squirrels, pick up some polished Pecans. The ones you find around Christmas time. Sometimes they have a hard time cracking those open. I still like the little tree rats but as long as they are in the tree's they are good.

I use McCormick Chili mix. You can get hot or mild. Your taste for that pick. 1 to 3 pounds of beef, Tri blend of beans if making a large batch 1 can or dark, light and black beans. For every pound of beef, I use i can of beans. I blended onion, 1 can of diced and 1 can of puree tomatoes. 2 or 3 Hungarian hot peppers per pound of meat, with seeds and a lot of the membrane removed, but not all. finely chopped or blended along with the onion. A Hotter pepper if you like it hot.
TJ have you ever tried chili poured over pasta or flat egg noodles? They call it chili mac here.

I agree with Greg. Epoxy is the better option.

A note of caution: you may find a huge variance between what you think the collection is worth and what someone is willing to offer.
Yes, they will give you a flat rate for your inventory. 2 bucks was the going rate for years from what I was told. Not sure what the current rate is. Make sure you have a good list of what you have before you contact anyone. They will need to know how many are sealed. If you have a lot of older kits you might want to sell those separate.

Great save. looks very cool.

This is awesome Greg. I am glad it all went well for you.

Okay, thanks. I visit the store and see what I can find out.
My local store does not have the models on sale this upcoming week.

I don’t know what else is in the kit but if it doesn’t have a phone booth I believe I will pass. No phone booth makes it the same as the little red wagon…
Except it will be molded in white I would guess.

What model of airbrush is it? If it’s a good to high quality one, you could try to save it. There is CA debonder available for starters. If it’s a real cheapie, chuck it. JMO🤔.
I agree with this. If the cost of the air brush is less than the acetone and or debonder, let it fly.

This is nice work. Makes me want to look for one to add to the stash.
