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


Recommended Posts

Eric I think you did great on those early 60's kits. I just got a couple built up versions of that kit (shown a few posts up). Seeing old kits like that in such good condition always makes me wonder the history behind them.

I don't have it quit yet but I ordered it today.

the biggest hold up I've had for painting models is I haven't airbrushed in a long time.

Some reason the G/F doesn't like the smell of paint.

Crazy, Eh?

So I ordered the Pace 24" Mini Plus paint booth.

Free shipping too :D

Well I went to my first contest of the year today, didn't win but i wasn't really expecting to because I only took 4 models that where all low detail builds, the nice easy kind taking a brake from the high detail builds. So on with the scores from the swap meet.

#1 63 chevy nova II station wagon 3 in 1 complete with nice decals. super nice orig. kit with no parts painted or glued. one owner kit

#2 1/16 beebe rail dragster

#3 dodge rescue van missing decals but complete

#4 dodge ram dually

#5 dodge dakota

I'm super happy with finding the 63 nova kit, been looking for an affordable one for a long time. It was also nice to see every ones new builds this year at the show.

Here is my score from the Desert Scale Classic show. All built ups cost me about $10 Found 2 Nissan trucks that are the body style of my Pathfinder. I traded a drag car for the Jeff Gordon autograph and clock. My buddy hooked me up with the Pegasus wheels. One of my cars was picked for the MCM photo op and I hope it makes it. I also brought home some hardware for Ecto-1a.

Hey keith I guess you blew your model funds for the month huh ? super nice haul.

This is what I found today.

Earlier today I needed a small drill bit so I ran to the little flea market near me and ended up bringing this home instead.

Never did find the drill bit but then I didn't care after this showed up.
