Didn't get this today. Just wanted to show what a 24 hour bath in Super Clean can do. I was a bit concerned about removing this paint, but the purple stuff came through again! :)

Received some wheels i had Jim at micronitro make me for a upcoming Meng F350 build. His work is outstanding, sent him a pic and tire sizes and he turned out these pieces of art. Also received some eBay buys.

Got some replacement Paasche filters for my spray booth in the mail today. Now the house won't stink of paint fumes!

Also replaced my missing cordless engraver with this...

Makes it so much easier drilling or routing holes in styrene without fussing with Dremel bits, chocks, and cords.

You certainly got lucky finding and scoring all those kits Ray. Look forward to seeing you build them. ;)

Cheers guys!

Steve, no I didn't win the lottery mate, this was through a friend on Facebook and these kits were from a deceased estate here in Adelaide.

it was an opportunity I could not refuse regardless of how much it was going to cost me, the kits were reasonably priced and what to expect for their age.

My intentions are of course to build them all after I have offloaded some of my collection!!

Ray.

Well, You did well Ray! How come I never come across these kinds of opportunities? I would venture to guess that if these are unmolested kits, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get as much as $1,500.00 for the lot. Possibly much more! Nice score Ray!! Steve

I got a new aluminum pin vise and 12 bits today from hobbylobby. I used the 40% of code for the first time. $11.00ish. It's much nice than the heavy steel one I had and I like the collet better.

Today I got another cool kit from Tokyo-Hobby, Fujimi's Porsche 917K '70 Le Mans Gulf color. Also, the day before yesterday I got the decals I needed to convert my MPC '73 Chevy Caprice into a RCMP car.

This is the '61 Falcon I posted a little while back - just got a full set of NOS AMT compact tires and open wheels from a '63 Fairlane (which need to be modded to four-lug or get hubcaps), and stripped off a whole bunch of white paint, followed by some more stubborn blue paint. Thinking of deleting the side trim to backdate it to '60 since I have the grille.

As I got it:
