PatW Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I've just got this from our ebay UK. It's difficult to get the 'American' kits that you want here.................

ChrisBcritter Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Just got the glass from a '64 Continental sedan - I've already fitted the roof from the '64 I scrapped to a '65 convertible body; now I've got no excuse not to finish it...
crazyjim Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Yesterday at work, someone priced an AMT/Ertl '55 Chevy Stepsidr kit at $2. It sat on the shelf for the rest of the day. The rule at work is an item has to be on the shelf for 24 hours before I, an employee, can buy it. So it was there on my fifteen-minute break today. I went to buy it, and I was informed by the manager I couldn't buy anything on my fifteen-minuter. Dang! Hide it behind some puzzles, go eat trail mix until break's over, then work for an hour until lunch break. Went back out to help with register, ten minutes before my break. The next register over, I see a guy buying some 1/16 NASCAR diecasts... and the Chevy kit. I ended up using my $2 for a couple records instead. Couldn't you have gone back in after your shift was over and gone in earlier the next time?
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Couldn't you have gone back in after your shift was over and gone in earlier the next time? Nope. Has to be on the shelf for exactly 24 hours before I can buy it. It went out on the floor at 10:30 Saturday, so I couldn't have gotten it until 10:30 today, the time of my fifteen minute break. My lunch was at 12:30-1:00.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah, I have most of two kits, anyways. Still, it's the principle.

Robberbaron Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Stopped by Michael's because I had a 50% off coupon. Decided to get a 2nd Revell '32 Ford 5- window, because they're just a treasure trove of parts. Also picked up a Revell '68 Vette convertible, since they had them marked down to $9.99.
danman6677 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I won 8 different gen corvettes off Ebay....and got an angry wife after. Oops
Tom Geiger Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Yesterday at work, someone priced an AMT/Ertl '55 Chevy Stepsidr kit at $2. I've never found a model at Goodwill. I've bought some diecasts, they seem to like to put a mess of stuff in big clear plastic bags and sell them for $5 or $10 for the bag. The only models I've ever seen there were two common AMT kit that were totally gobbed with Testors paint and poorly assembled, complete in the box for $5 each! No thanks!
matthijsgrit Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Got one of these... ...and one of these... ...and one of these... Nice stuff! On to the builds!!! ;-)
mustang1989 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I won 8 different gen corvettes off Ebay....and got an angry wife after. Oops My wife supports my hobby but I think even she would get a little upset after that one. lol. My stash has gotten pretty big just this year and it makes it a little more difficult in acquiring additions to it. I guess I'd better get busy building.

The only models I've ever seen there were two common AMT kit that were totally gobbed with Testors paint and poorly assembled, complete in the box for $5 each! No thanks! I managed to get a Jungle Jim Vega kit, partially started, but all there with all decals untouched for around $3. Found a Hornby 1/32 Mini Cooper that was originally supposed to be trade fodder, but nobody bit and I used the roll cage and wheels for parts. They're few and far between in there, so you have to be quick.What if your buddy buys it? Well, if I had a cell phone....
1930fordpickup Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Miles you are not missing anything with no phone for the most part.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Miles you are not missing anything with no phone for the most part. Yep, that's the truth! I don't like phones much, anyways!
1930fordpickup Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Miles you can spend the monthly bill on kits and supplies.
Jon Haigwood Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Wife came back from the Thrift store with these. All still sealed in plastic . $4 for both.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Miles you can spend the monthly bill on kits and supplies. Yep! If all goes as planned, a Moebius Hudson Hornet should be waiting for me when I get home.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 So I did get the Moebius Hudson the other day. Came home and it was waiting for me in the living room. Wasn't even there for four seconds before I ripped it open to gaggle at the contents. Man, it's a different world of quality than the Revellogram kits I'm used to. Today rolled around. After a great day at school, we went to the bank. Pulled out some cash ($100 for an Xbox 360 I'm getting from a friend, and $40 for me) and went to the LHS. I got the Revell Snap-Tite '34 Ford, some K&S aluminum tubing for exhaust tips, and some Colors by Boyd Pacific Blue for the aforementioned Hudson.
Lordmodelbuilder Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I actually got this model a while back, but just recently have begun to clean it up & find some missing pieces to complete it. It came from a friend of mine. Her dad passed away a few years ago & I ended up with with his model parts & collection. Not sure what model company made this kit. Kinda wondering what kit the interior parts came from & also what the chassis is from. I know the Chevy engine & rear differential are from something else too. Any help with identifying anything on this would be appreciated. Thanks,Brad
