My holy grail is the mr sandman kit with the buggy, but this one is a very close second. i love the 4 wheeler that come with this. I have a perfect diorama idea for this with my bronco and a couple other things. Man, its coming together now. I am so happy I still have the trailer and some of the luggage from when I built mine as a kid. Talk about memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabbysdaddy Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I went to an Ollie's but there were no automotive models. It's next to a mall that my daughter wanted to go to and I found this at an FYE so I picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av405 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Just got this through ebay a few days ago for what I thought was a reasonable price. It has all of the windows and major pieces and the body looks straight. I think there's some broken/missing pieces, but I can always use one of the recent re-releases of the Chevy Van to piece it together. I hope it was a good investment.

Mark Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 First non-eBay buy in about a year and a half. One of my friends bought a collection a while back, ID'd and packaged everything in preparation for the next shows whenever those are. The Monogram '55 Chevy is just parts, but important parts including the front suspension, stock front seat, stock wheels, and stock exterior trim parts. Between this stuff, some other parts I already have, and a Badman body already "in stock", I should be able to piece together a stock '55. The Capri II is complete with some duplicate parts, but is parts of two issues. Those fender flares aren't from the issue that the box and other parts are from. I've wanted to build one with those flares. They're on the body straight and the two sides match, so they are probably on where they should be. That green putty is probably on there forty years plus, so it's safe to say it's fully cured. I'll sand some of it first to see if I can get away with leaving it instead of soaking it off. The bagged stuff includes a SMP '60 Chevy pickup (rough, no glass, will probably become ramp truck material), '64 Falcon convertible (windshield glass welded in with glue) that might get mashed with a Ranchero roof and bed, or maybe an early Comet sedan roof, '64 Buick hardtop (roof cut off but lower body has all trim intact). I have a junk body with a good convertible windshield frame, between these and some leftover custom parts I think I have enough for an out of box custom version. The little stuff includes some unused taillight lenses ('66 Cyclone, '60 Ford annual, and first issue Revell '56 Ford pickup), also some '65 Fairlane custom parts that I wanted but aren't in the Modified Stocker reissue. More stuff to play with, I like fixing junk better than tearing into a new kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewetwo Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Got some stuff today. The Shaken Not Stirred bottle shaker. Tried it out and it works pretty well. Battery or AC power. The 1957 Caddy. Molded in red :-(. But it has the clear glass. Some paint from the clearance section of Hobby Lobby. And scribers? I guess that's what you call them. And a Weekend Worrier GTO from Micheals. Got home and went into my stash room and there it is. Already had one. But not only that one. But I also have the kit that has the blue GTO on the lid. Ugh. I have to put photos of what I have on my phone so I can check if I have it or not. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
