lordairgtar Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I ordered on 22.12.14 that order was posted on the 24.12.14 in the USA and received today in Buckingham UK. It's from teddyb2336 on ebay.com, 2 X packs of Resin Dodge Dually fenders, wheels and tailgate.................... I don't know yet what I will fix them on, could be a truck or van or whatever! Got a lot of clean up ahead of you. Can't believe someone sold such junk.
Deathgoblin Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Got a $40 gift certificate to Hurricane Hobbies for Christmas. I picked up the Tamiya Savanna RX-7 with a full engine and an AMT 1958 Plymouth Fury "Christine" kit. Also got in some correct tires for my Corvette Grand Sport. The ones in the kit were mismolded, so I ordered a set of tires for a slot car. They're perfect.
GeeBee Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Got this with 20% discount, wasn't going to buy one, but it will be a reminder of the years I spent working @ VW (VAG) U.K
disabled modeler Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 That is cool Casey....I remember that one from my childhood days.
cobraman Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Made a Hobby Lobby run today. Gotta love that 40 % off. Wife bought one kit and I the other. 15 bucks or so for a kit is pretty darn good.
Snake45 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Found an original AMT '75 Corvette roadster on eBay. I'm HOPING the hood and front valence will fit the cherry AMT '73 coupe body I scored in a Vette Junkyard a couple years ago, which is missing those two vital items. If they're not direct bolt-on, I'll have to find a way to make 'em work. I really want a '73 Vette on the shelf (only year with the rubber front bumper but the original flat rear end with chrome bumpers--very cool looking). It arrived today. The hood and front bumper seem to be perfect fits, and I can also use the chassis, engine, etc. Now all I have to do is strip the paint off the '73 body and fix some window-glue damage on the roof.

Yeah, and looks nothing like the seller posts the pics of in his sales. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resin-1-25-Dodge-Dually-conversion-kitbash-kit-2-Fenders-4-wheels-Tailgate-/221646756338?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item339b2d19f2
Tom Geiger Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Yeah, and looks nothing like the seller posts the pics of in his sales. In all fairness he stated, "Your 1/25 scale resin Conversion kit will come to you with flash attached to keep the rigid for shipping, expect to see it that way, You are responsible for removing any and all flash and Possibly filling any pinholes or sinkmarks." His photos aren't totally doctored, he left some imperfections like the roughness in the wheel wells. Not that people read auction text anyway! Edited January 4, 2015 by Tom Geiger

pharoah Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I fed my styrene addiction with the new (old) AMT 49 Mercury kit. So many build possibilities...
jrherald420 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Traded off some 1/16 scale glue bombs for a 1/8th scale Corvette project. Next to a 1/24 car.........i might need a bigger work bench! 20150105_135431 by jrherald420, on Flickr
av405 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I got this spread from Tower Hobbies while they had their Christmas specials. These all came with free shipping and I got an $8 discount. This meant that I essentially got the Tamiya paints for free. I've received these resin items throughout the past few weeks. Most of these will be put away for the foreseeable future. I just saw items that I liked and with how the resin business is, I knew I couldn't pass them up. I might do a more comprehensive review of the Models by Tony resin pieces later.
Roadrunner Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Went to Hobby Lobby and Micheals today and picked these up for 40% and 50% off: That B-17 has certainly stood the test of time. I have one or two around here too.
ChrisBcritter Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Got a nice, clean '64 T-bird radio promo: Put in a battery, and after a few minutes of crackling, WGN is coming in clear. Now I have a straight run of T-birds from 1961 to '66. . Now I need a '67... Also got some of the new AMT narrow whitewalls left over from a current kit somebody parted out. Edited January 6, 2015 by ChrisBcritter
unclescott58 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I've got a '67 friction T-bird Chris. Sorry to say it's not sale. Even through it is molded (painted?) in the ugliest lime green you'll ever see. Scott
landman Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I Got this....at Michaels. It was $36.00. I thought "Why not?". It'll be the base for one of my old trucks.
mademan Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Ive been on a Ferrari kick lately.... Ever since seeing our neighbour at the Lakes 458 Italia, and photos of the LaFerrari which re-kindled my love for Ferraris. These have all come in over the past few days.
Joe Handley Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Picked up one of these tonight with one of the Stampede parts before leaving work Only been wanting one since it was available as well and just now gotten my hands one on.

Looks like a hell of a lot of prancing ponies! Enjoy
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Just came in the mail today. New polishing pads & some new embossing powder. Steve
mademan Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 How about a review on the LaFerrari? Im considering building that next. Tomorrow afternoon I will post up a side by side review of both contents in the reviews section.
Fabrux Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I post here so infrequently I often forget to show what I've picked up. My purchases tend to be pretty sporadic, as well. But, within the past three weeks I brought it a large bunch so I figured I'd show them here. The Mustang and Rat Roaster were purchased new from my LHS; the Revell Peterbilt was with a 50% off coupon from Michaels; the rest I picked up at the local thrift shop for cheap.

Deathgoblin Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Got in an AMT 1981 1/2 Datsun 280ZX Turbo. Other than the shrink wrap being off, it's brand new.
