cobraman Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I feel your pain Tom. Repair wise this has been a bad year. Since my home is now 7 years old we just bought a home warranty that covers just about everything for 55.00 bucks a month with a 60.00 dollar deductible.
Raguvian Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I got an Aoshima Suzuki Cappuccino today. I'm still waiting on some Revell kits that I got for cheap ($20 and under) to practice on before I attempt the Aoshima kit. I also bought some Watanabe wheels and an Aoshima Autozam AZ-1 but those won't show up for a while, probably.
blackandwhite Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 a couple of 10/0 brushes. as well as Rustoleum semi gloss black, satin ivory silk, and satin summer squash

2000-cvpi Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I found out that a lhs is closing by October. What stinks is that out of the 4 hobby shops local to me, the owner actually talks to customers and is a nice guy.
Daddyfink Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I have been looking for that nissan kit for a while. May i ask idoes it have a LHD option? Joe. The car is RHD only
martinfan5 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Got this decal sheet from a fellow modeler friend, thanks Frank Edited September 1, 2014 by martinfan5
carrucha Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) On Friday I received a built up AMT 1959 Lincoln Continental hardtop that I got from ebay. On Saturday I bought AMT's 1960 Ford Ranchero from Hobby Lobby. And yesterday I bought AMT's 1951 Chevy Bel Air hard top from Michael's. Edited September 1, 2014 by carrucha
niteowl7710 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 This purchases comes with a tale of intrigue and conspiracy so great, I might actually make a build thread for it. DSC01888 (1280x852) by niteowl7710, on Flickr
fat50 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I got a Ronco dehydrater at a yard sale for $1.50. I've got the centers on 6 of the 7 trays cut out and now I'm dialing in the new dimmer box for 105F. Can't wait to put the first body of the season in it.
martinfan5 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I bought a can of Tamiya Fine White Primer today from Hobby Lobby, man did I get a great price on too with out the coupon.
ChrisBcritter Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Got the photoetch grille for the '60 Chrysler over the weekend, then hit Michael's with the Labor Day 50% coupon and picked up Testor's light yellow for the '61 Continental. (Was debating picking up a Badger 350 with the coupon, but thirty bucks is more than I want to spend right now.)
Tom Geiger Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Big weekend here! We bought the Sleep Number bed we'd been looking at. Should be delivered in a few weeks and maybe I can finally get a good night's sleep without sleeping on my aching shoulder. Got an iPhone 5C which falls into that ancient technology that gee golly new to me. My wife had wanted a smart phone, so I upgraded so she could have my 4C, which is only a year old. And I got new shoes. I didn't think I needed them but the wife says I do for an upcoming wedding. Heck, I'm just one of 200 people attending this shindig. Nobody is looking at my feet! Could've had 3 kits instead!
gtx6970 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Today was a very good day. ABout 3 pm today , it moved under it's own power for the 1st time since approx 1994 Cars owner was pumped to say the least . 1970 Challenger Rt/SE 440 six pack 4 speed 4.10 Dana.
935k3 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I got this in the mail. It's the NEO for Iwata Trn-2 side feed airbrush. It sprays beautifully. If you have never tried a trigger style you should. They feel better and are easier to control than a stsndard dual action. They probably would be better for newbies. It was around $100 with free priority mail or UPS at chicagoairbrushsupply.com. They have great and quick service. It does hav an adapter to use standard jars(Badger/Paasche).
Daddyfink Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Got my Moebius sale kits and my trade with am73grand! It was like X-Mas from the Mail carrier!
ToyLvr Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Got my new set of '65 Corvair hubcaps from "Missing Link Resin". They look great! A while back, I was lucky to find a restorable original AMT built-up, but it was missing a hubcap. I doubted that I'd ever find one, given the rarity of the kit. No problem now, thanks to Missing Link!
Bennyg Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Got the hobby design la ferrari detail kit. Ben
Kinus Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Tom McCuen's '57 Chevy funny car from Revell. Hope I don't mess it up too bad.
Tom Geiger Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Got 2 1/4" rain last night. We must've too! Rained like crazy for much of the evening to break that crazy heat and humidity!
crazyjim Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Very weird last night. Local news showed only a very small cloud over Citrus Springs and it was the only cloud over a 5 or 6 county area. Lots of lightning too.
Deathgoblin Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Got a glue-bombed Lancia Stratos coming in. I've got a brand new kit, but this'll give me the wheels and tires that I was missing.
GLMFAA1 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I got a new street thanks to the electric company. They are installing new transmission lines and had to repave the streets they ran their heavy equipment on. I'm sure everyone will pay for it in their upcoming electric bills greg
