What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

I got some more p/e frets from Model Car Garage- Dzus fasteners, saw blades, and engine brackets. No more floating alternators for me!

Stopped in the local HTU today to see if they would be willing to offer up something when the wife has her afterschool program at the YMCA this fall. I have to stop back and visit with the owner (darn, gotta be something I will need!) and while I was there I bought a can of Tamiya red (TS-18) and another 77 GMC Pickup, which they had for $21.99.

By the way, does anybody else belong to their shopper program? For every $100 spent, you will get aher $5 coupon for your next visit. I think I am halfway there and while it isn't the same as a 40% off coupon, it is reasonable.

And yes, the Phantom is available through Ebay sellers. I can't speak for LHS though as mine doesn't get any of the new releases anyway.

Scored these at hobby lobby with the 40% off coupon. might turn into a hearse.

Almost bought that ghostbuster ecto 1a at hobby lobby today with my 40% of coupon. Bought the amt diamond reo truck instead. Was wondering how that ghostbuster kit was. Need to look around in here, there's got to be some info on it. I wouldn't build it as a ghostbuster vehicle either, it would be..........well I don't know. I'd have to think about it. Ken

Thanks Jonathan, beatiful builds you have there. I guess I'll need to pick that kit up, but I still don't think it will be a ghostbuster when I'm done. Ken

Thanks, Ive been thinking about doing one as four door truck, or something along those lines

[Deathgoblin]

Arii 72 Mustang Mach 1. Yeah, I know the chassis is garbage, but the body looks better to me than the AMT kit. Someone needs to do a modern take on one of these.
