StevenGuthmiller Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 This came on friday. Had some damage (Now fixed) and missing front bumper,seats and console. All part`s threes was there including custom parts. Today i bought the same convertible version,good condition with all parts including custom parts wich are silly,but nice to have. It`s missing box and have a cracked windshield post. But i got it cheap,Modelroundup wanted $240 lol Another nice one Tommy! I think I've given up on trying to keep track of you! Steve
Tom Geiger Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Cheap is good... you were going to build it anyway... who needs a box?
om617 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks. Steven just watch for junk no one else see any potential in,i`ll probably get on it. I see it as a challenge for myself, and also i cant afford the mint ones Tom i do agree since it`s being built it`s no big deal. This said it`s nice to have the box and instructions,i find the box art facinating,also there might be the satisfaction in my inner collector to have them. I mean they even reproduce vintage boxes and sell for quite the amount of money.

Any time I see an intact, unpainted kit like this, I'm watching it very closely if it's something I'm interested in. Even with parts missing. Many times, parts can be found to complete. As long as the body is good & the necessary components are there, I'm all over it! Steve

Snake45 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Hey Rich. You got any pics? I aint ever seen that [diecast '65 Riviera] either. I do now. Here's what the poor thing looked like when I dragged it home. Have worked some model-fu on it since then. Complete story and before/after pics at: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102315
landman Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 A Ram 3500 and some watch parts. The truck will become the delivery truck for FTB (Flatheads to Boxers) , the engine rebuilder in my diorama. The watch parts are to detail the engines. The ones I was going to use for flywheels are a bit small. There was a batch of larger ones on eBay. I may get them too.
PatW Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Just delivered from Japan a car that was racing in Europe in endurance sporstcars the same year that I was married 1968. The Mazda Cosmo Sport.............
peekay Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Just arrived from America. I have a soft spot for early compacts but this one tends to be way too pricey - less so in this condition, of course. It's actually not too bad and the body has no damage or holes. It's missing one front and one rear light but Modelhaus has all the bits. It came apart easily and I'm now trying to strip the paint.
unclescott58 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 '62 Plymouth Valiant? It's a '60 or '61. Note the toilet seat (aka fake spare tire) on the trunk lid. Only the '60 and '61s carried that. The 62's did not. Scott

Austin T Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) They already have a liberty walk kit out for the Challenger in scale? That was pretty fast. Edited May 30, 2015 by Austin T

So you going to start building this classic Peter? Love these classics..
peekay Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 So you going to start building this classic Peter? Love these classics.. Carl, I have to admit to being more of a collector than a builder this year. Haven't really done anything since February except use up my lifetime modeling budget. I've often had long periods of modeling abstinence but always come back to it again and I'm sure that will happen soon. The Valiant has been in the purple pond for two days now and the paint is only just starting to budge. Might need something stronger.
TooOld Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I receive this yesterday and it's a beauty ! There's a waiting list but Missing link does top notch work and it's worth the wait .
disabled modeler Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 That looks very nice Bob....me Id want a Pontiac Grand Am...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Okay, you need to explain this one to me. I just got an email from Model Roundup today saying that the '65 Satellite would be out in September. What's the deal Gerry? Steve
Exotics_Builder Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Okay, you need to explain this one to me. I just got an email from Model Roundup today saying that the '65 Satellite would be out in September. What's the deal Gerry? Steve September? I haven't been tracking this one as the Ventura is what thrills me. I had to cut open the plastic wrap to get at it. As I said, a friend sent this to me and I am going to do a build on this one as soon as the Hemi Dart is done (about 3 weeks). I will have to seek the opinions of GTR and CARS in Miniature clubs MOPAR experts to help me in this. But then, Fiat now owns Chrysler and I don't think has spun Ferrari off yet. So I guess it can be classified an exotic
