Jon Haigwood Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Got some much needed mustang louvers in the mail.Thanks gardnerpag44
John Goschke Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Not today, but recently acquired. One can never have too many "Squarebirds!" Two nice rebuildable '60s. The convertible has had its emblems and script cleanly removed. Love that these kits have a stick shift trans hooked to the 352! A really sad "basement find" '59 hardtop came from a friend in our model club. It'll be parted out and the roof will provide the basis for an up-top for the '60 convertible.
b-body fan Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 100 pack of #11 Exacto blades. Should save me a couple trips to the store. Yay.
Matt T. Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Revell '57 Bel Air Sedan 2n1 at Michaels for six bucks!My local Michaels is clearance-pricing a number of Revell kits - '63 Impala, '68 Dart, '69 Camaro SS, '10 Camaro...
cobraman Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Got this off of ebay. Bought it just for the roof and maybe some of the interior.
VW93 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) A very close friend of mine passed away last month and left these projects to me. The '62 Monterey will probably get stripped and repainted due to the glue damage from the skirts. The '63 Marauder will get cleaned and the loose parts glued back on. I have some replacement spotlights, mirrors and antennas for it. The AMT '64 Fairlane will will most likely get an injected Ford small block as that was my friends plan for his rebuild. I'll be needing one bucket seat for it as it only came with one. The '64 Corvette's just need some cleaning, minor repairs and replacement rims for the damaged ones. When I get to them I'll most likely post them as WIP's Edited July 22, 2015 by VW93
Rob Hall Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Got a bunch of goodies in the mail today..got a box of parts from The Modelhaus, from C1 Models in the UK a '67 Camaro widebody conversion kit (in only 12 days and very well presented in a special box), and while not model related, but pretty cool---from Amazon several Mezco Breaking Bad 6 inch character figures for my BB collection..
charlie8575 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) A couple of early birthday presents.I picked up a Bachmann RS-3 with sound in the Boston & Maine's classic maroon and gold scheme.And an unbuilt MPC '66 Dodge Monaco 500- looked complete, paid a little more than I would've liked, but it wasn't horribly over-priced, either. Now to pick a color...something that'll show off that really cool wicker-trimmed interior. I'm thinking something simple and classic, like white with a blue or red interior. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221812861418Charlie Larkin Edited July 23, 2015 by charlie8575

John Clutch Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 The MPC 1/16 General Lee, some styrene rods and a nice spruce cutter. Actually, I got this stuff yesterday lol
AC Norton Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 ......the AMT SUPER SHAKER 64 impala reissue.....very nice too..........the ace...........
Deathgoblin Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Got in an AMT 1995 Mustang GT from Ebay. Less than $10 including shipping. Body is shot, but it's complete otherwise. I can put the body back together, but I'll just keep it as a spare. Body was too far gone. I took the other Mustang kit that I had and made one whole one. Still works out.

chunkypeanutbutter Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 The Revell Corvette gasser, the Revell '57 Ford Custom, the Monogram Ford Pickup Street Rod, some Hugger Orange paint for the 'Vette, and some AMT Parts Pack Goodyear slicks.

BKF Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Got these on clearance locally. First time in that store. $5.99 for the Revell kits. $9.00 for the Rosco mpc kits to go with the 2 general lee kits I have. Maybe I'll get lucky and find the Daisy car and jeep.
Roadrunner Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Brought home a new issue AMT '32 Vicky in a slightly crunched box for a princely $5!From where? Those are the kind of deals that I need.

The HobbyTown I work at, we got 6 scratch and dent pallets in with all sorts of stuff, including a few Vicky's, the one I bought had been crunched bad in one corner and I was able to buy it CHEAP.

Tom Geiger Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Hosted on Fotki With Avenel Hobbies closing in New Jersey, I made my final visit and saw these Danbury Mint pickups in the display case. I will buy diecast for my light commercial / pickup collection for vehicles that we'll never see in plastic. And I couldn't pass these up for $50 each complete with boxes etc. They are a '29 Dodge, '31 Chevy and '42 Ford pickups. That's equal time to the big three!

I don't know when I'll get to them but I hope to have a couple of them ready to display at the Goodguys Charlotte model show in October.
