Drake69 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Went on an Amazon "Police Hunt" yesterday and bought... 1: Roscoe's Hazzard Cty. Police Cruiser 2: '57 Ford Custom Police Cruiser 3: AMT Ford Interceptor Police Cruiser Also went on eBay and picked up police decals I needed. Now I gotta source out the correct Dark Blue and Battleship Gray for the colors of Virginia State Police and my itch to do up some vintage cop cars will finally be scratched....

Agent G Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Testors square bottle gray and sea blue are near perfect matches. Spray some gloss and there ya go. G
BIGTRUCK Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Body was painted and stripped ,engine built but not painted , the rest is fine
mikechevelle69 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Craigslist score yesterday they where all sealed. The Sock It To Me Vette was the Orange and flake plasctic 1 in 12 rare kit.
Quick GMC Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 got these (ALL) for $25, probably the best timing I have had on something like this.

Austin T Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 got these (ALL) for $25, probably the best timing I have had on something like this. Man you did get a deal! I've been meaning to get some more wheel packs but 10 plus shipping makes it hard to stockpile.
martinfan5 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Man you did get a deal! I've been meaning to get some more wheel packs but 10 plus shipping makes it hard to stockpile. Not really a deal, you can buy those sets from Hobby Search for $5 US each , it would a be deal if it was $25 shipped Different box art for the white ones http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10061949 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10195649 Edited June 23, 2015 by martinfan5
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Well, it was payday. That meant going up to Bangor to spend money. At Hobby Lobby, got the MPC Dodge Dart and WWII Jeep and AMT's Ohio George Ranchero for $14 a pop. Also got the AMT Corvair and Crew Chief Blazer at regular price, along with a Testor's diecast trailer kit. All in, $121.26. Well, I earned it... I might as well spend it on some nice stuff.
Rob Hall Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Got the Modelhaus '61 Cadillac Series 62 coupe kit in the mail today...love the fins and skegs look. I was worried about it sitting in a box outside triple digit temps for up to 8 hrs, but other than being a bit warm it seems fine, not warped..

You didn't have one of their 40% off coupons to use on a kit?
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) You didn't have one of their 40% off coupons to use on a kit? Don't have a phone or anything to get it with that's mobile, and didn't even think to print it before I went. Would've saved, what? $10 or $15? It is money, but right now it isn't that important.

Tom Geiger Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Would've saved, what? $10 or $15? It is money, but right now it isn't that important. as my father would've said, "Son you worked what, 1-2 hours to earn that money? When you spend money, always remember how many hours it took you to earn it." He cursed me. I still do it to this day! There are grown men on the boards that brag that they brought their wife and two toddlers to Hobby Lobby to use four coupons!
ChrisBcritter Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 While on vacation, I got the AMT Polyglas GT tires at the Hobby Lobby in Paducah, KY - with the coupon, natch. (Every other HL I've been to only has slicks for some reason.) I'll see how they look on my '64 Malibu, but they might be a bit anachronistic with the Radir wheels...
timc Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I got two Mobius 1969 Ford F100 short beds in the mail from Model Roundup.
landman Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Yesterday, an NTC 350 Cummins. But the real reason for the purchase is the 5/4 transmission combo which will find its way into the GMC B-7000. Edited June 26, 2015 by landman
cobraman Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 In honor of my birthday tomorrow my wife took me to Hobby Lobby today ( they are closed on Sunday ) and bought me this stuff. Maybe the light with magnifier will help me with my paint detailing. If not then I just suck ! : )

Maybe the light with magnifier will help me with my paint detailing. If not then I just suck ! : ) I have the exact same magnifier. I don't know what I'd do without it now! I do everything under that thing!! I think you'll be surprised how much it helps with almost everything! Steve
Sixx Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I got two Mobius 1969 Ford F100 short beds in the mail from Model Roundup. Woohoo! That's exactly what I got two days ago!!!! Awesome! :-)
russosborne Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Haven't been on here for a long time. Was in Hobby Lobby in Glendale the other day and they had the Ed Roth 57 Chevy clearanced. First model I have bought in about a year after selling most of my stash. Been wanting that one since it is the old kit with opening doors and trunk. Built it as a kid late 60's, always wanted to try it again. My wife has taken over my modelling area though so it might be a while. Russ
Lucas van H Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Flea market find, the Citroen and Kenworth are started, and the F50 and Mack are NIB. not a bad score for under 15 bucks
