cazxr2 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Hi everybody. I'm away to sell a few of my diecast cars. I will be getting £200 (dont know what that is in $) but I want to spend the cash on my modeling hobby. I've always wanted a big scale car. Don't know what or where to find them. I'm in the uk so eBay hasn't got much. Just thought I'd put this up see what u guys would buy
diymirage Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 how is your airbrush/compressor set up ? this would be a great time to make an investment like that not sure about big scale kits but if you consider 1/16th big enough there will be a street charger comming out soon...i know i wanna get one
TurboKitty Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 that's just about $320 US, I'd probably buy the kits on my wanted list or invest in a decent airbrush set up too LOL! Or save it, never know what you may need it for so you don't really *have* to spend it LOL
crazyjim Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 The best thing you could do would to send it to me. I accept cash, checks and paypal.

Ps my airbrush set up is fine for me. As for my wanted list I don't really have one. Except I want a big scale. When I say big I mean bigger than 1/24.
niteowl7710 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Lol what u gonna send me in return. Haha. Well I can't speak for Jim, but I would certainly send you pictures of everything I bought, so you had the piece of mind of knowing all the joy your money brought to me.

crazyjim Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Hey. I asked first. More seriously, hold on to the money until you find what you want and then get it.
cazxr2 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 Hey. I asked first. More seriously, hold on to the money until you find what you want and then get it. Haha well I don't know what I want. Well I kind of do but don't know where to get it. I'm looking for either a 1/16ish muscle car or japaneese tuner to do. Just don't know where to find them here?? Looked on eBay haven come across much.
Jon Cole Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 My dad always said to me whenever I got a few dollars, "Money burning a hole in your pocket?"
Darin Bastedo Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Tools. A lot of them. you will always find money here or there for a new model kit, but when to have a large sum of money to blow, investing in tools that will make your model building easier or better is the way to go. Some suggestions; Dial caliper pin vise air brush / compressor files sprue cutter tubing cutter tubing bender
Jordan White Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 1/16 MPC Corvette for 45 pounds Buy It Now. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MPC-1984-CORVETTE-1-16-SCALE-MODEL-KIT-COMPLETE-/150623187908?pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&hash=item2311d773c4
CEKPETHO BCE Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Sorry for my less than intelligent question, but does pin vice thing require a compressor or does it run on batteries? Never heard of it before now so I googled it and it seems very useful.
crazyjim Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Neither Andrey. The pin vise is run with your hand. There's some different ones out there - some are double ended so you can use drille bits at each end; others are single and feature a swivel top. I have 2 or 3 of each with diffent sized drill bits ready to go. I also have a small Dremel dril motor that I find extremely useful.
cazxr2 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 I have a dremell which is great like. Got it real cheap too. That corvette above is that any good. I seen 2 on uk eBay one being the 88 and one being an 84. Are they any good has anybody built either there the 1/16 mpc ones.
CEKPETHO BCE Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 If you want a large scale kit you can try the 1/16 minicraft Mercedes gullwing. JimnOhio has a few 1/16 kits for $35 US. http://www.jimnohio.com if you want to check it out
diymirage Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 i got it craig, it is so simple.....i cant believe i didnt think of it before spend the money on......custom made decals im sure you have a guy who has done some for you before....just have him make a few up and tip big
SuperStockAndy Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Lol what u gona send me in return. Haha. Ps my airbrush set up is fine for me. As for my wanted list I don't really have one. Except I want a big scale. When I say big I mean bigger than 1/24. Oooh, how about the McLaren M8A from Tamiya? It's 1/16 scale, I believe.
