Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Finally able to splurge on my first airbrush and compressor. Did a lot of research and the Paasche H easily came out on top. The compressor was a lot harder to choose other than it had to be fairly quiet and have a tank. There were three that I had it narrowed down to and the Master TC-20T was the one I very narrowly chose, mainly because it came with the Paasche H for only $165. I can't wait to get started and hope I can pick it well and do ok. Can't upload any pics, keep getting error, .

The H is my second airbrush and I have not touched the Iwata since getting it.

Sam I Am Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Picked these up awhile back but forgot to post. They are all original screw mount. I will be posting a wants list for parts to restore some of them. 1961 Buick Invicta, 1961 Chevy Impala, 1960 Buick Invicta Conv. 1962 Buick Electra Conv. 1961 Ranchero, 1960 ElCamino, 1962 Buick Special Wgn with trailer, 1961 Mercury Monterey, 1960 Corvair ? Also AMT 1940 Coupe and a Hubley Renault Dauphine
Gramps46 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Marvelous finds. Especially like the Dauphine. I have one side of the trailer but you would have to convert it to the side you are missing. Send me a PM if interested.
Tom Geiger Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Nice finds! I like the Buick convertible with the up top! I have one awaiting restoration. I also have some Daulphenes, yours is one of the better ones that came with an interior. I watched one like that sell for $40 plus $10 postage on eBay this week. And the Corvair with the custom parts is neat! Restore it that way! Edited May 18, 2019 by Tom Geiger
Sam I Am Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Thanks to both of you. I am offering both the Dauphine and Corvair up for trade. PM sent Gary

Plashdaddy Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Got these this morning at a model kit swap meet, was worth the drive, good event. All complete & unstarted.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Can finally post pics of the airbrush and compressor I finally managed to get. Pretty geeked on getting started.
ewetwo Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Yesterday I got this 3 Corvette Kit. And all 12 cans of duplicolor paints for less than 50 cents each. They rattle and have never been opened. Hopefully they will spray ok.
cobraman Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Got this Acme 1/18 scale engine for a project I have in mind .

The stock body hasn't been seen in a LOOOONG time (this might have been the last issue), just the wretched backbirth flip-front version.

There was a later issue, 5-Vette set that also included the MPC '57. It was out around the time the new-tool AMT '57 first appeared. I'm thinking RC/Ertl also issued a two-car ('57/'97) Vette kit set, but for some reason the two-car set included the newer AMT '57.

HomerS Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Like I need another project but it appears complete with all the custom pieces (missing the center console).....
martinfan5 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Big thanks to Greg Wann aka The Master Caster for providing this to me to do a video for it.....and I then I get to build it And I came home with this one too, why, I dunno, club auction, got it for $10
ChrisBcritter Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 At the LMMCC meeting last night I picked up a started AMT '58 Impala to be a donor for the Flintstone sedan delivery, and a pair of what appear to be those elusive custom wire wheel covers from the AMT '64 Fairlane (Thanks Steve G.). Also got a set of '36 Ford wheel spiders cast up for me by Tom Piagari from my mold (he has a pressure pot - I don't; thanks greatly!) and a set of Caddy Sabre wheels from Tom Geiger (again, thanks greatly!).
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Attended the 21st annual NNL North show today, and I just want to extend a giant "Thank You" to those who attended and saw fit to award my '67 Ford Galaxie XL with one of the Top 10 "Peoples Choice" awards. I am very humbled. I also need to give a big thank you to the great guys from the Winnipeg Model Car Club, who gave the Galaxie their coveted "Best Road Car" trophy. What a huge surprise and a humbling event! Met a few old friends and made a couple of new ones. It's always great fun and I look forward to returning again next year. Over 400 vehicles displayed this year! What a great turn out! Thanks everyone!! Steve
