gtx6970 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) I found this little gem gracing my doorstep this afternoon, placed there be a little elf by the name of Bill, a member of the forum! I didn't know that we were exchanging Christmas gifts this year guys! Thank you Bill! We will "discuss this over a Christmas bowl"! Steve No exchange necessary bro. You said your were looking for one. - I have about a half dozen of them. So I boxed one up . Its not unbuilt dead mint but I think its complete. Just so you know ,,,,, I blame you for my spending habits over the past 2 years or so . If you hadn't posted that beautiful 58 Ford, I wouldn't have started looking for all the old annuals like I have. Yep, its all your fault .

But it paid off pretty well in the end for me. It got me a '69 Roadrunner! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Nothing special but I did buy a new version of the Exacto knife at Hobby Lobby that actually has a light built into the business end around the blade that shines onto your work surface.Really a handy thing to have when not working in optimal light conditions.Check it out for yourself and be sure to take your 40 percent off coupon with you!!

ChrisBcritter Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hit three hobby stores today; got the most important thing I've bought in a LONG time: long-nose angled tweezers. Already used them several times yesterday to pick up dropped parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hit three hobby stores today; got the most important thing I've bought in a LONG time: long-nose angled tweezers. Already used them several times yesterday to pick up dropped parts. That's an excellent tool and I use mine quite often and have been for years. Also works great when foiling and peeling off the excess after trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Is it worth any money?It's not really worth what I paid for it, about $15, for information (the models are all pretty crude by today's standards) but it's kinda neat to look at for the nostalgia factor.

iamsuperdan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Picked this up yesterday. And although I don't have a pic, the replacement body for my Revell Ramcharger arrived a couple of days ago. Not as warped as the original!
