Scored another cool builder. This time its a 1960 Lincoln, only the seats were painted and all the extra parts come off easy.

Very nice,

I just finished one. and have another one for maybe  someday down the road project

Monthly local toy show. Some good scores:

*Original '75 Corvette Coupe promo molded in orange, a couple very minor scratches that will polish right out: $20

*Mint unbuilt complete AMT '59 Corvette, $22. The front end looks MUCH better than the '62. Maybe I can combine the two and get a '61 yet!

*'74 Vega promo with damaged and cleanly repaired A-pillar, $10

*'76 Monza with missing rear bumper and a little damage on front end, $10.

Couple other oddball goodies but those seemed like the most smokin' deals.

Finally found a Bronco locally along with the ol'79 Nova

For $30 you can have the Monza, shipped. It's a cool avocado green color. You'll like it! Awaiting your USPS money order.

Oh, wait, you're in Canada. I don't think I could send you anything for $30. Too bad.

Got this off ebay a little bit ago,  it had custom bumpers and no tires or wheels or steering wheel,  need to find a hood

[martinfan5]

Got this today, not sure when it was actually left at my front door though.

What did I get today? Pull up a chair...

Did anyone else here go to Hobby Heaven today for the annual sale? I took a nice drive up there with fellow forum members Tom and Jon, and Hobby Heaven is an apt name. For the price of one current kit at HL (without the coupon), I got this (plus three big bags of assorted parts not shown):

Tan coupe is a very clean stock build, duplicating the one I built when I was seven (except for the "clean" part). Green one is a mild custom with a Buick nailhead and Riviera wire wheels. Black one is a collection of parts (needs hood, interior and glass) from the big bags. Pickup is a mild custom, original issue.

"I wanted a '60 Ford wagon in the worst way!" And that's just what I got. Roof cut off to make a sort-of-Ranchero (can fix); interior broken at the back seat (ditto) and the tailgate glass is missing (anyone parting a Deora?). The roofless '57 Country Squire may donate its innards to a Jimmy Flintstone body.

Didn't realize this was the Aurora kit until I got it home. Looks complete or nearly so.

And finally the '59 Shortenental. Windshield, wheelcovers and front bumper/grill are savable. Rear end treatment is a '59 Pontiac rear bumper mounted upside down with a lot of putty around it.

Plus a lot of wheelcovers, a couple sets of AMT compact tires, a bunch of chrome (including the rear grille for my '61 Continental sedan) and a Revell gluebomb '55 Chevy stakebed that will yield the rest of the parts I need for my 1/48 school bus conversion. Good day all around.

As I'm enjoying the Monogram 48 Ford convertible build so much, I've added these to the stash

Very nice Geoff.

Jonathan! Nice haul! Especially like the 2 Beemax kits.

[OldNYJim]

 

I will be back!

 

Any chance of seeing inside the box of this one bud?

[Ace-Garageguy]

NOTHING for me, as I'm still putting aside my modeling budget to contribute to the Harry fund again, soon as there's a decent-sized pile of pennies.

Will take a few pics for you soon.

What's your feedback on the Orange Wheels? I've been thinking about getting some myself.

Good question,  this is my first time with them, but they are pretty darn popular and the quality is very nice, I would say go for it.

[JTalmage]

I picked up the AMT Ecto-1 and I will be making it a hearse instead, and chop the heck out of it and make it a helluva hot rod

[ZTony8]

I picked up an unbuilt Tamiya Ford Sierra XR4-i for $15 last night.

They are getting harder to find. Unbuilt at $15 is a steal. Good score.
