picked up a PS4..... for my son for Christmas....... shhhhhh.

I won't do a PS4 ore Xbox One yet. Too new, too many bugs that still need worked out.

I dared the crowds on Black Friday and got my daughter an Xbox 360. For $100 I couldn't pass it up.

That's an expensive (even direct from the "source") bundle right there. Don't forget to equip you bench with a magnet so you can find THE important one of the 8 billion hex nuts and threaded rods/bolts that come in that Harley when it slips out of your fingers and get eaten by the carpet monster! ;)

Stuff for my current distraction. A 10 point cage from S&W Race Cars and a wiring kit with a switch panel from "Painless" (time will tell) Wiring.

"68 Mustang coupe with 302 for Super Stock. Probably L/Automatic. Doesn't need the cage by the book but I want to build for the future.

Where'd you find it. I need to locate a Xbox one and I'm running out if time...

WalMart here is well stocked on PS4's and Xbox One's.

Hah! Yeah, I got a magnet and a vacuum cleaner with an old nylon parts catcher on the hose end just for those problems.

It really wasn't too bad $$-wise. I spent a lot more the 1/12 Enzo and Porsche GT kits. What can I say, I love this big Tamiya stuff. B)

Got two more of the Revell Cudas in the last couple of days...one of them was in a postal box that looked like it had been kicked around...the box was partially mashed, but the looks fine inside. The chrome appears ok on all 3 of mine, and all 3 had the funny positioning of the decals.

My model room was a bedroom so it has a hardwood floor. When I drop something I just get down at floor level and gather up the dust and such with an old business card. I eventually find everything although not when I want it. Tonight I'm missing a tail light bezel for my Dodge Caravan. It's a fairly large piece but I couldn't find it. But in the process I found a Model A door handle I lost last week... now that's a tiny bugger. It's like a chrome coated ant!

Lucky you I can't find one no where here in Dallas everyplace that sells Xbox one are completely sold out.

Every place has been telling me that it is going to be after Christmas and sometime after the first of the year before they get any.

Oh well... :angry:

How does the Cuda kit stack up to the older ones ?? Does the body look right this time ??

I haven't had a chance to compare it to my Johan '71s or MPC '70s, but it definitely looks better than the previous R-M 1/24th Cudas...it's got some issues, as have been discussed extensively in the Cuda thread. One thing that jumps out at me are the overly large fenderwell lip moldings..

Replenished some supplies. Got Tamiya Putty, never had it before but saw it on the shelf.

Bought these to experiment on creating a platform / diorama to take my model photos.

And I had never seen these before so I had to get 'em. G-scale / 1/24 scale building supplies. One is corrugated siding / roofing and the other is scale brick. There are two 7.5" x 12" sheets in a pack for $5.
