Daddyfink Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks Steve, I am going to do a resto on it! Now, should I do the Keep On Truckin' theme or the Trucking USA West Coast Van?
MsDano85gt Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 you got a buy on that gmc truck benny those go for big bucks on e bay! I would love another that's for sure!
Danny Lectro Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I got skunked at a model contest. While i was there, I picked up some supplies, some funky tools and a Moebius Tumbler / Batmobile.
RodneyBad Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Stopped by my LHS and found this Poor Flintstone Resin 70 Torino Super Cobra still sitting in a case after almost 10yrs or more. Hood is a little too thick on one side but might sand down It also came with some nice decals for it.
Austin T Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Those Torinos are pretty cool looking. I always thought it looked like a torino rear ended a Datsun 240z and this happened.
om617 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Looks like an R&R kit. I think it must be some left overs or casting gone wrong because it`s really bad quality. Not that i have so much experience with resin,but have bought lot`s of aftermarked parts,but this is the worst i have seen by far.
Fabrux Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Picked up another eBay parcel this weekend down at my US PO box (the Fall Guy version)... My MPC squarebody collection is now 78% complete (still need Super Dualie and Hardcastle & McCormick). If I can find unbuilt versions of the Mule Skinner and Dust Devil on the cheap I might pick them up. My Mule Skinner and the 84 GMC swapped beds; the Chevy Shortbed kit is unbuilt in box plus the built-up in front. I also have half of the Blazers..
Deathgoblin Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 2 Revell 1930 Ford Woodies from Ebay for less than $30.
Sportabout Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Promolite resin kit Plymouth Savoy 4 dr sedan '61. This kit is amazing, no molding grease and only light sandig is needed before primer. Tom really knows casting. Picture is not from my kit. I got five tires and some extra parts
Fabrux Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Picked up the Model King/Revell 57 Ford police car last night at the club meeting.
PatW Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Last week A Flying Cloud Camper RV in resin..... And today from ebay UK an Airfix Subaru Impreza WRC 2003 for spares already started but all the bits are there... And a Tamiya Peugeot 206 WRC 2005.... A couple more towards my stash of WRC RallyCars. Edited September 18, 2013 by PatW
niteowl7710 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Last shipment from HLJ last week... Picked this one off eBay, factory sealed for about a third what they normally go for, and the seller even refunded an over-charge on shipping These two came this week from Hobby Search, both were recently spot-run in the past few months, but for one reason or another I missed them on HLJ. Despite being marked up for their JDM origins all of the Export LHD parts are included in both.
Kaleb Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Once I can get pics loaded ill post. I'm going back again to buy more paint. 1 case tamiya bright mica red (6) 1 case tamiya black(6) 2 case of white primer (12) 2 case of grey primer (12) A total whopping sum of $17.94 before taxes. They were $2.99 a case. Edit: went back and bought two more. Edited September 19, 2013 by Kaleb

Kaleb Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 A local place called save a bundle. It's usually damaged goods, to much quantity, or left over from ups and other delivery trucks. They also hold auctions.
Clemi Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 A local place called save a bundle. It's usually damaged goods, to much quantity, or left over from ups and other delivery trucks. They also hold auctions. Wow,the prices are great! So sad that I don't live in the states. Can you send me some cases?
Mark72JPS Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Studio 27 Lotus 49 photo-etch for the Ebbro kit and the Joe Honda book on the Lotus 49 for reference.

They also hold auctions. That's so cheap it's like stealing. You should but them out and flip them on eBay. Six cans of primer at five dollars each would be quite the profit.
Kaleb Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 How do I ship paint though? I see shipping at $3 a can, but looking through the websites of usps and ups it seems expensive
KingSix Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I got a new self healing cutting mat, some evergreen rod some plastruct sheet and some new #11 hobby blades ..
