MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Sadly many models, (kits, diecasts, built) are much harder to find at Goodwill or any thrift type store now days. I used to, 3-4 years ago, see models cars, trucks, planes ships and occasionally figures on a frequent basis like 2 times a month. Now days it is a rare thing to see anything, maybe 1 time in 3-4 months. Even the Hot Wheels types regardless of condition, are more scarce. Of course I may not be "at the right place at the right time" but as we go to various thrift stores 4-5 times a week I don't think that is always the case. So I tend to agree that many stores now seem to be useing the internet as their sales tool and cutting back use of the store shelves. A result of our new digital age I suppose--sigh, I so old😢
  2. Good to hear your Entex Rolls kit is in good condition. With it being "the Last RR kit in the world", that must put quite a lot of pressure on you to build it right 😁 It also seems you may be the forefather in the as yet undiscovered "Ecology Based Model Building". As such, you will become our "knowlage expert" on non/low toxic modeling- no pressure😉
  3. Great car from the past. I will enjoy following your journey with this one.
  4. Just finished the whole thread and can only say, WOW Great job of modelin'.
  5. With my "completely organized"🙄 bench I find that my glue applicaters are always ...missing 😠. So I turn to the ever peresent tooth pick dispenser and use one of them. I do like the looper/sewing needle versions, when I can find 'em on the bench though.
  6. 🤣 ya just gotta love modern retailers
  7. I knew it would buff out 🤣
  8. This came out great no wonder you're stoked about this kit.

  11. May I say WOW ? the Delehaye, looks phenomenal.
  12. Looks very cool, like a road racer, but looking forward to how it turns out.
  13. Good use of the old and new.
