mikemodeler Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 No pictures but yesterday I got three models from Wes's Model Corner. He has a FB page and also store in NE Tennessee. I got the Revell Bronco/Dune Buggy combo, the MPC Racers Wedge and AMT GMC Jimmy, all for $60 shipped to my house. Wes was running a sale and I couldn't pass em up!

Robberbaron Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) On 5/22/2022 at 1:19 AM, Robberbaron said: One of our local non-profit organizations runs a thrift shop. My daughter and I volunteered for a few hours on Saturday morning. I worked in the delivery area where everyone drops off their items to donate. One of the boxes included a Lindberg 90s era Little Red Wagon kit. The delivery supervisor said they wouldn't bother trying to sell it since it was opened and partially built. They were going to toss it in the dumpster, so you know what happened. 😁 😁 Seems like everything's there. Little bit of a glue bomb, but the price was right! Well, the novelty factor on this one just went way up. There is some handwriting on the box top in pen: "Bill Maverick Golden #303". I really gave it no thought when I first got it, I assumed the builder just scribbled a note on the box for some reason. Today I was organizing my area in the basement and ran across this again. Looking at the box, I wondered why anyone would write that. It couldn't actually be his signature, could it? This thing was a garage sale leftover that was getting tossed in a dumpster. A quick Google search turned up several auctions selling similar LRW kits signed by Mr. Golden, similarly numbered. His signature has several unique features, especially the ending letters in "Maverick". The one on this box matches what I'm seeing in those listings, so I'm 99% sure it's legit. Obviously somewhere along the way, this was passed on to someone who didn't know/care what it was. Is it valuable? The contents are half-built (poorly), the box is kinda tattered, plus there's red overspray on the right side. So short answer: No. Is it cool? Heck yeah!

Modlbldr Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Walked over to my neighbors shop today to check out his 69 Camaro SS he's had since he was 18. I'm guessing he's 60+ now. He said, " I have something for you.", and handed me this along with a Testors paint pack and some glue. Later- 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Couple of goodies from the mailman…Createx black sealer (my go-to black for about anything black or gray that I paint), and a ‘Parts Pack’ T roadster frame tree that I ordered from Atlantis…they’re starting to sell some of these parts independently of the kits, which is cool! Hope they do more! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 A useful batch of Skyline R32 parts, well under £10: They replace pretty much everything I robbed from another Skyline for my entry in last years CBP Community Build, and it's particularly useful to have the competition parts so I can upgrade a road car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I got the interior and chassis parts from one of the MPC Pro Stock Vegas, from one of the "kit parsers". I'm going to use it for a curbside project with this '77 Promo body. It'll likely be a mid-'80s Super Gasser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I dropped visiting family off at the airport in Nashville today and stopped at a thrift store on the way home. Found both of these for $15. The El Camino is sealed inside and someone had NOT even robbed the trail bike out of it yet! Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I got this in the mail yesterday from a purchase off of FB Marketplace. Been looking for more of these Square bodies and Blazers. This one is complete, unstarted and in beautiful shape. Later- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
