The 1960 Ford wagon looks to have a bit of warpage in the front. Don't want to mess with that as I haven't a clue. And the steering wheel is a little skewed in the 65 galaxy. Might have come like that as I tired to wiggle it and it's in there solid. Like I said there is only 3 missing parts total. Not bad huh? Great finds! I have to hit more estate sales. All I've found at estate sales so far are useless knick-knacks. And board games, which look a lot like model kit boxes from a distance.

OK Wayne if I get one I'll have to see if I can put that detail in!
metalhead Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 I just got the AMT 2017 50th anniversary edition Camaro and the Dirty Donny 69 Plymouth GTX.
Deathgoblin Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Got in a 1926 Mack Tanker truck. It's in pretty good shape and appears to be complete.
ChrisBcritter Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Got a desperately-needed modeling tool today - new glasses.

Modlbldr Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Got a VW Zender Corrado Cabrio kit from a buddy on Saturday. It is about 3/4 done. Already started some mods on it and probably do a repaint. Later-

It was really fun to do a bit of styrene archaeology. I knew there were a couple good things in there. At least two of them were from my past, so there was value there. Here's the money shot. Firebug with most fo the important parts, 1/20 T altered from when I was a kid. T for Two from that same time period, and parts of a Lil' Mixer, some dune buggy I don't know and parts from the Serpent kit. The Fire Bug is what remains of the ZZR Spy Car, which is a shame.

On this one the wheels stuck out about 1/8 inch too much. I removed the nubs on the backs of the wheels to suck them in. Looks much better now. Got any spare decals? They were the only thing missing.

GeeBee Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Just recieved my latest order from MCW lacquer, now I can crack on with the Chevelle 396SS
ChrisBcritter Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Spotted these neat little Texaco salt and pepper shakers, shaped like Tokheim model 39 gas pumps; got 'em cheeeep: From what I could find online, they scale out right around 1/24-1/25 in width and a little taller in height (by maybe 3/16"). I have higher-res scans of the decals I've been cleaning up.
SfanGoch Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Cool pumps, Chris. The only things I can find at flea markets or "antique" shops here are beat up Remington-Rand typewriters, macaroni art and the same chairs I tossed into the trash two weeks ago. The Salvation Army Thrift and Goodwill Stores, unlike in other locales, don't even sell models or toys. Neither accepts them.
Mike999 Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Small haul from today's flea market. The 310 backhoe has the engine glued together and painted silver, not a problem since I intend to build it. The Italeri 1/24 scale Jeep is in a ratty box but complete and untouched. And the off-topic 1/35 scale M35A2 truck is still shrink-wrapped. The December 1961 issue of "Custom Craft" magazine has 16 pages of model car articles, including a long review and build-up of the Monogram Green Hornet. The April 1957 copy of "Rod & Custom" has the winners of its model car contest...long before the first 3-in-1 kits hit the market in 1958! There are lots of customized 1/32 scale AMT/Revell Buicks, Mercurys etc. And hot rods made from the 1/32 "Highway Pioneer" kits. Amazing stuff. Later I may scan that article and post it.

Snake45 Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 The Italeri Jeep (Willy MB) is nice. I built one a while back, went together no problems, looked great when finished, what's not to love?
forthlin Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 I got a 1954 Pontiac promo from Ken Krewier ( Bigtruck)
GeeBee Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I've been thinking of adding one of these to the stash since they were released, picked this one up at a good price in Hong Kong
JJ Deuce Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 yet another Revell '69 Corvette coupe. Complete but not in a box. Looks like maybe a recovery from a collection that was flooded, as the instructions are pretty moldy.
