MyBradKeselowski Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Went to Hobby Lobby today and noticed they had the AMT Heavy Chevy 70 Impala marked down from 29.99 to 19.10. I had to bring it home with me as it was the last one on the shelf. Can't figure out though why it was marked down as the other models were regular price. Now I just wish they would get my Squad Rod Nova. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 My lovely wife asked me yesterday if I needed any supplies, so I told her and she ordered me ALL the different grades of Squadron sanding sticks-50 ea., two bottles RC 56, five sheets Tamiya masking film, and two Tamiya textured weathering paints.A great wife friend!!

Earl Marischal Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The thing is, that car modelling mags are nonexistent in the U.K. Even Kalmbach's Scale Auto is invisible and there are NO UK equivalents.Add that to the lack of kit retailers it's a wonder there's a hobby at all over here.Before anyone says get a subscription, I don't always want everything in every edition. I prefer to view the actual publication to decide if I want it.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublin boy Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) You can't find it over here either, though the bigger branches of WHSmith seem to stock it from time to time in the UK, For example you won't find it in Coventry, but I've seen it in a Birmingham City Centre shop.

Nells250 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Went to my favorite shop, HOBBY EMPORIUM in Tyngsboro MA, because I was depressed. Was even more depressed after I left, but I won't go into that.ANYHOO, I picked up the Revell 2016 C7 Corvette Stingray kit. Not sure if it will get built... just can't get myself out of the model-building-funk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Colmer Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have been hunting this one for a long, long time. I finally got a good e-bay price on one. The e-bay pic Hosted on Fotki The box showed up today. Marked FRAGILE - good. Looks like a smaller box surrounded by packing - good. Pick up the smaller box - the model drops out the open end wrapped in a plastic grocery bag. Parts follow. Poop. Broken axel, driving lights and nerf bars. The seller was doing so well. He just failed to wrap the model before putting in a 6-sided inner box (instead of an open ended box).So much for putting this one straight on the shelf. I'll have a little more repair to do. I knew it was missing one exhaust trumpet, but I also have the make the rear end cover and headlight lenses. Hosted on FotkiI know the risks of buying built models; I'm still thrilled have to have it. It will be fairly easy too take apart and restore.

Dann Tier Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) A great wife friend!!Thanks, Slusher!, we've been married for three years now, and I still cant get use to how involved she is in this hobby. she doesn't build nearly as much as we do, but she loves it. All of my past girfreinds could care less about this hobby, but not her. Like with our actual size Jeep, she wants us to put a winch on it, and says, "i don't care if we ever use it........it looks sweet!" -that's how she is, LMAO Edited February 17, 2017 by Dann Tier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Got these 2 little beat up Cobra's yesterday. Normally I would not buy anything in this condition however I don't have any by this company so I had to. Windshields missing on both as is the roll bars. They are a little smaller than a Hot Wheel maybe close to a JL size. May or may not try to fix them up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Colmer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Wow, Dan! You did an excellent job with that! I like the one piece body and rear hatch. I've always wanted to narrow the rear and upsize the rear tires to fit the power of the Hemi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathgoblin Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Went to IPMS Blizzcon today. Came home with a brand-new AMT El Camino SS, a bagged but complete MPC Dodge Daytona, and a bagged Revell Ford Focus that's missing the body. All for about $20. Not too shabby.
