Sledsel Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Was searching Ollies and came home with a Crown Vic. Not a big deal, but you got the kit and a case for $9.99.... and I could not resist the decal set in it, Hamburg Park Asylum Security... LOL. it was a must have after I saw that!

I still need one more for my project. Later- Expand Hey Mod.... I'm going to hang onto it in case I decide to build a street driven gasser.... Sorry bud... ?
PowerPlant Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I got one of my holy grail kits today. It took me almost 10 years to score it and at 52 euros including shipping it is the single most expensive kit I ever paid for. I don't even want to think what the final cost including wheels and resin engine from USCP will be... But I don't care, the M3 is finally in the garage ? Edited October 7, 2019 by PowerPlant

ranma Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Well I actually bought these two on Sunday at the Farm toy show here in Van Wert Ohio. Nice 1/8 Monogram Corvette's
martinfan5 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Finally, from Germany, I was starting to think that Customs was building it for me, and restocking my pipette supply.
vintagedragcrazy Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I got the flat hood to build a replica of my old 1/1 74' charger se and some other parts to build a 71' superbee from harts parts ordered one week ago and got them today really pleased by how fast and how nice parts are! vince
OldNYJim Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Just got these today - anyone know who makes (made?) them? 1:25 blowers cast in metal
Plashdaddy Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 These two little guys arrived in the post today. Both from the same auction, unbuilt and complete, I just loved the box art on them both.

Exotics_Builder Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Got these at a garage sale (of all places) before we finished up the packing for the move. They made it here safely: These were waiting at the Post Office when I picked up our mail:

I've been seriously thinking about the bugatti chiron for my vw family collection and since I've got a lot of overtime the next few months... Expand High quality resin, but curbside. Heavy, thick body casting, but not slush molded. If you've seen their postings on Facebook, you get a good idea of the parts. I wish they would do an engine/engine bay and more chassis detail, but you get a resin equivalent of a diecast with no opening hood. Not maligning it, just stating fact. Haven't fully "grokked" them yet. Also, not sure level of detail I want to add. Looks like you are in Scotland. Check out Steve Hemmings Hiroboy store as he does carry them.
ewetwo Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Got a Proshop Mustang fastback in the mail yesterday. Got a Snap Tite 1950 Mercury police car at Ollies today for my great nephew and a Trumpeter 1960 Pontiac hard top on it’s way.No more buying. LOL. Edited October 9, 2019 by ewetwo

ChrisBcritter Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Got an AMT '40 Willys chasis for my Show 'n' Go kit - thanks Vince!
crazyjim Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 My Squadron order for putty, sanding sticks, and glue (essentials pack) finally arrived. The order was placed on June 6, 2019.

ewetwo Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Well the Trumpeter 1960 Pontiac Bonneville hard top arrived today. Boy that arrived fast. Now I have both of the Pontiacs. Was sealed but I had to open it just to look at it. A lot of parts. Whew! This will wait a while until my painting abilities get better.

Expand Just so that you are aware, the Trumpeter '60 Bonneville hard top body is pretty badly dis-proportioned. The roof is far too short and the deck is way too long. Just so there are no surprises.

I looked at the wire and stuff thinking "what the heck?" LOL.
