Shardik Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Oh my,. that is pretty. The tobacco fade realy looks nice on that flamed maple.
The70judgeman Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Picked up the '49 Merc at Walmart for $19 last Sunday mostly for the engine for possibly something else, and it was cheap. And the Johan '77 Cadillac Coupe De Ville promo with original box off of Ebay. Just a couple of wear spots on the body and chrome, but the glass is clear. Edited June 5, 2014 by The70judgeman
The Creative Explorer Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) These are the latest purchases, the new Revell kits come from the HQ in Germany and the rest are local finds. I seriously need to stop buying now and start build some more. Edited June 5, 2014 by The Creative Explorer
ChrisBcritter Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Just got back from another estate sale. Went there four hours early and was ninth in line, but someone still beat me to a '67 Imperial promo , yet I did pick up a few goodies: For a couple bucks each, got these three Motorifics plus another loose Jaguar body minus roll pan/rear bumper, and a couple Matchboxes for a buck each to replace ones I had as a kid. Finding a BRM and a Ford GT with all their original tires is a miracle! The Alfa Romeo is from Impy and in nice shape as well The other score was a Dremel model 3701 variable speed drill with attachments for $15.00; nice thing about it is that the speed can be slowed to 5000 RPM which will make grinding plastic much more manageable. Anybody have a bumper/grille and door handle for the Impala? Still bugged about that Imperial... Edited June 5, 2014 by ChrisBcritter

DynoMight Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 The Porsche 928, is a new release? Simón P. Rivera Torres No, I think he's talking some others, He says, the rest are local finds. This one was probably a local find..
disabled modeler Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Man does that Rolling Thunder truck bring back memories...that Imperial seems to be a 68?
ChrisBcritter Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Man does that Rolling Thunder truck bring back memories...that Imperial seems to be a 68? '67. It's a little blurry (from a photo on the sale website). There was also a green '62 or '63 Corvair promo that was beat to hell and missing its roof; couldn't see any reason to pay $4 when all that was good was the wheels, chassis and interior. Another guy in front of me snagged a sealed '56 Ford (fairly recent issue) for $6, and there was also an opened but unbuilt Hubley Model A coupe that I steered clear of (I already have a phaeton and a Victoria and can't give 'em away; might as well build 'em). Lots of Motorific track but I barely have room to display the cars, let alone set up a raceway. Edited June 6, 2014 by ChrisBcritter

charlie8575 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Charlie, Yes. Started and based in the Chicago area; heavy in IL, now two locations in the Phoenix Metro area. I see. Looks like a good hot-dog. Wonder if they'd be interested in a New England licensee/franchise? Charlie Larkin
om617 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Kyosho Miura 1:18,2 sheets of foil,BBS LM18" from Scaleproduction.de and wheels from Tokio Hobby. I dont collect die cast cars,just want a couple who i find beautiful and iconic.
Dale W. Verts Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I've had four kits come in this week and have three more on the way, then I went and bought a lot of ten MORE kits off eBay last night. This will give me over eighty kits total, all since January. Not to mention the resin stuff I've bought. And the spare engines, tires and wheels. Where does it end? Dale
jrherald420 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 lol It ends when you die. Then your wife sells it to nothing to the next guy and it starts his addiction. Its a cycle......a viscous cycle.
unclescott58 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Dale you got an "!" ? Sounds exciting! Scott Edited June 7, 2014 by unclescott58
mustang1989 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 lol It ends when you die. Then your wife sells it to nothing to the next guy and it starts his addiction. Its a cycle......a viscous cycle. I guess that explains some of the guys I know that have over 1200 kits in their stash. I thought I was bad just having 30 or so.
jrherald420 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Lol I know the feeling. I have talked to older friends in modeling clubs here and the discussion of what will happen to their stash after they pass has came up several times. Some guys want to hand it down, others want members to sell it off for the spouse or kids. Always something to think about when you have a good sized collection of kits.

Some guys want to hand it down, others want members to sell it off for the spouse or kids. Always something to think about when you have a good sized collection of kits. Yes. It's good to plan ahead. My wife knows who to talk to about disposing of my unbuilt collection. And she knows which two of my favorite builds will go to the International Model Car Builder's Museum. I also told her to take all my unfinished projects off the shelves over my bench and give them to my club to distribute. Maybe the guys will finish them in my memory! The tough part is that the moment your passing goes through the community (which takes minutes these days with the Internet), some scum will be showing up at your door to bother your family about buying your stuff. And don't think this will be the top dollar guy. I know of this happening in several situations! So best to be prepared. Every time I go to a show and see a big box of built ups for $5 each, I worry that those will be my cars someday! Edited June 7, 2014 by Tom Geiger
crazyjim Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Marcia knows to get a hold of my fellow FAST members to give them first shot on everything I have - kits, paint, tools, supplies.
Joe Handley Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Time, money, and weather all aligned right and I was able to get the 200 washed today! ]
