Got a built '67 Comet Cyclone, complete '58 Edsel kit in a bag, and the body of a '37 Ford coupe from Kitbasher. Thanks Hugh.

69 Mustang kit was a real good find. You have a thoughtful wife...

Today, I got freedom from having a few dozen kits in storage for 5 years and brought them home. How I'm going to clear up space for them is another question.

Have you considered a storage unit?

Picked the BRE Datsun 510, nice kit but the tires are way too small. They are wide enough but too short and they'll look lost in the wheel wells. But they won't go to waste, I have an old MPC Vega kit that needs some wide 13" tires.

Its been a eventful last month for me. Spent several tens of thousands on model building!!!

These came from Hobby Lobby clearance. The Helicopter was 22.00 down from 65.00, the Mustangs and the vette were 10.99 each and the merc and sprint car were 11.99.

then we bought this model room...

It came with a yard and some extra rooms one could live in if they wanted too, or you could just build a different model in each room and never have to pack them up to work on something different!

Here's the outside of the new model room

Here is the model room ready to go, only took me 3 weeks to get this far.

Got these for the new back yard track. They are 1/18 scale. Ground breaking is in a few weeks.

And the 29 x 25 ft area for the track.

I am actually not a mustang fan, let alone Ford after 1955 but I walked into my LHS today and everything was 25% off so I grabbed this.. mainly because I am a sucker for affordable 1/16 scale kits haha

Got the AMT 1970 1/2 Camaro and a 1970 'Cuda (special edition oooooohhhh), some paint, and a new brush that was .99 instead of 2.99 (best brush ever, it's the Atlas Brush Co. 970 3/0 689076966337 ) and also some Tamiya tape. That was my monthly model trip haha..

Got a Tom Daniel Ice T kit today at a flea market for $20. Kit says made in US, but the instructions say packed in New Zealand. Any body know anything about this?
