Not hard to reach them high numbers lol. I’ll be doing another plaza Japan order eventually, and that’ll be another 11-12 kits added to the stash lol.

These are fantastic. They’re meant to use along side the red pair or any pair to do the first cut, and blue pair does finishing close cut. Do not use these to cut thick gates on parts or you could end up disappointed.

First kit I built when I got into the hobby. Unfortunately my son damaged it, but it’s a nice little kit though.

Nice! I got 3 of these. I got 3 because my first one was at hobby lobby @40% off, and than later down the road I found 2 more on clearance there for $8 or $9 each.

It’s best to check scalemates for a specific model to check the original release/tooling. AMT/Revell do have some great kits, and a lot of bad kits. Round2 love to repop old tooling so scalemates is your friend.

I think steam will be having another sale coming up soon. It’ll be really cheap to get then.

If you’re talking about the American truck sim that’s on steam on PC? Than I own it with all the DLC locations. Beautiful game, and great experience. Recommend any sim racing wheel set instead of a controller or keyboard, but either would work okay. I don’t play it much as I use too, but I still support the game as it’s one of the best at what it does. P.S I also love big rigs 👍🏻

HOT! Off the megahobby line. Should have ordered two of these beauties. After looking through the instructions - the way the side mirrors are put together is a first I’ve seen.

Vallejo paint strike
Dpate replied to johnyrotten's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
There’s a strike with usps in Canada too. So shipping from or too is currently suspended. Every time you turn around there’s a strike going on. -
Czech truck model photo etch came in today. I would have took closer shots of each one, but that would have been to many pics lol. Even though the Volvo comes with a photo etch grille set this one is much better, and has the Volvo on it as well. The Volvo badges contain the FH16 badge for the grille as well.

What Did You Accomplish Today? (Model Car Work)
Dpate replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Turned out alright. Glad it’s done as it’s not Tamiya’s best kit IMO. Few mistakes, and rear view mirror gone because my son lost it ?♂️. Rear tail lights cut from sprue still showed through, and wrong Porsche decals on rims as I didn’t have the proper ones, and the kit ones don’t show good on black. Not to shabby for the $14 I paid for it. Porsche GT3 in Mexico blue from gravity colors. -
How Important is Box Art
Dpate replied to Biggu's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I like a good box art especially from Tamiya. But it’s not that important to me where I’d spend money on a kit just for a new box art, and updated decals. If everything is new, and updated? Than take my money. -
Was the alpine good? That sucks donkey $&@¥ that happened. Definitely return or replacement from Amazon.

Scale Hobbyist Anyone?
Dpate replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nice. Like everyone else said they’re legit. I’ve ordered hundreds of dollars worth of products from them. There also one of the cheapest to buy from too compared to megahobby, and model roundup. -
WOW!!! Awesome stuff man. Not sure how much you got this for, but that MENG F-350 can go for $3-$400.

Now that me and my baby mama is back together - im able to get little more free time at the bench or as my son calls it the “Hobby lobby room”. Between work & family, building model kits, and gaming being young @35 allows me to multitask for now. Not sure how many hours I’ll be at the bench though it varies. Masking alone can feel like 30 mins, but 2 hours done went by lol. Think the longest I’ve sat at the bench has been bout 4 hours just cleaning parts, test fitting, gluing parts.
