Modelhaus Inventory Sale!!!!
mikemodeler replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Made it in and spent $130! Tried to go back and get some wheels and they were sold out! Tried again and was able to get some wheels, not the American 200S Daisy mags though. -

I'm thinking they may have put the wrong time on when it will re-open. They are located in the Central Time Zone. -

Don and Carol must be sleeping in, I have been trying to get on for the last 7 minutes and can't get in! -
New updated Model Car Garage site!
mikemodeler replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I occasionally have that same 404 error code Bill, not sure what it is or how to explain it. I come back a few minutes later and it's all fixed, so I figure there is some kind of glitch in the forum because I do not have similar issues with other websites. I am using an 11 year old Dell laptop with an old version of Windows, so it could be me, but I don't think it is. -
Modelhaus Inventory Sale!!!!
mikemodeler replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Get ready, it all starts at 8:00 AM Eastern time this morning! -
I went there yesterday on my way to the airport. His prices were hard to figure out- the new Scout II kit was $26.95 but an AMT 2017 Camaro kit was $31.95. The number of NASCAR kits were the most that I have seen since a swap meet here in the Carolinas. I didn't see anything I could not live without, especially at the prices shown. Old time feel? Yes.

Ollie's strike again
mikemodeler replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The are a closeout store. Inventory is constantly changing as they buy distressed or bankrupt store inventories. Nothing glamorous, just some bargains if you shop around.They have been known to buy model kit inventories and blow them out cheap anywhere from $7.99 and up for kits sometimes still on the shelf at hobby shops and retailers. -
Ollie's strike again
mikemodeler replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I was at an Ollie's this past Saturday. They had a sign up and were already advertising the TRU closeout sale. There were still some leftover Lindberg model kits on display, but did not see any of the Revell or AMT kits they had earlier this year. -
A show on a Friday afternoon? That is a new one for me. What type of venue is it being held in? First time show?

Modelhaus Inventory Sale!!!!

I think that none of the tires are available until the website is activated, something detailed in the message from Don and Carol. The good news is that we finally have pictures of the tires, now if we can get dimensions......! I have enough tires to last me three lifetimes, but I am like a kid on Christmas morning when I see some new ones available and Fireball Modelworks and Scenes Unlimited will tell you what my weakness is when it comes to tires! -

Bill, Were you on the tire website or the Modelhaus website? I was able to see the tire website but as the letter from Don and Carol states, the tires are being done by their son Chris and he will activate his website once he is ready ( I will guess that means when he has some inventory built up). I can see the Modelhaus website being BUSY this Saturday morning and won't be long before the inventory is sold out. Interested to see what they have left. -
1972 Ford Pickup
mikemodeler replied to Gerald Haney's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Those trucks in real life would have rusty rear cab mounts so it was common to see them sagging like that! Nice weathering job. -
WW II-ish Jeep by MPC
mikemodeler replied to David G.'s topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice work! With the news that Modelhaus tires will be available , you will be able to source the correct military tires. -
Jeep CJ Service Vehicle
mikemodeler replied to OldTrucker's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Same here! It was so common to see them at gas stations even a neighbor had one that he used to plow driveways with. I have a couple of the half cabs, sure wish someone would resin cast them for me! The snow plow is available from Olsen Bros. Back on topic- Nice work on that Jeep! -
Autocar DC9964
mikemodeler replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I have been thinking of picking up an Autocar kit to mount the wrecker bed from the old AMT Peterbilt stick boom kit, always liked the looks of the Autocar trucks. Nice job on this one Chuck, your weathering always looks realistic! -

Modelhaus Inventory Sale!!!!
mikemodeler replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Had you placed an online order with them recently (before they announced their retirement)? The email only went to folks who had placed online orders before the closed. -

Modelhaus End Of Business Sale
mikemodeler replied to Againmikewins's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
They have many different types of tires, mainly for older kits, that are realistic and accurate. This helps tremendously when restoring old kits. -
Modelhaus Inventory Sale!!!!
mikemodeler replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I got this email and thought I was dreaming! Hopefully the speculators will not scoop up all of the remaining inventory and us regular modelers will get a chance to buy one last time! Not sure what I need, but it will be interesting to see what they have left. The news about the tires is encouraging, hopefully Chris will have some of the wheels too.
