The bigger widths of Tamiya tape, or the yellow delicate Frog Tape.  It's really 1001 uses tool when you start to think about it.  If you double cut a mask (diameter and then an inside diameter) it makes perfectly circular masks for things like gauge & headlight bezzles.  Also comes in very hand for cutting inside (or outside) masks for wheels - where you're either "chroming" a lip, or leaving the lip already chromed, but painting the inside wheel face.

My wife went hunting for the ones she didn't find and gave me these when I woke up.

Great for making circles. I got the cheaper one, but these are the best you’re gonna get hobby wise for cutting circles.

That... is a cool kit. I wouldn’t mind building that one. I am curious what exactly are the PE parts.

No pic but I scored the Streaker Vette I’ve been wanting to get for years. Oh yeah... I picked it out at a LHS. LOL!

Christmas gift from my son. It will be a challenge for this old gear head...........

Nice! I’ve been wanting to get that kit for some time now.  It shouldn't be all that much of a challenge to build. Easy peasy....

[Mr mopar]

Went to the LHS today for Boxing day sales and got all at a real good price !

Got a Michael's gift card for my birthday and I went shopping. Had a 30% off coupon so snagged these two for about $40 plus tax. The truck will get weathered and the 32 Ford will be a full fender street rod.

My wife got me this awsome "parking garage" display case. I just put it together and I think it looks awsome! Now need to dust off a few builds to go in it.

[DPNM]

I got 5 more airbrushes before the end of the year including a Thayer & Chandler model A from 1918.

 I would be interested in finding more information about this and any other displays that they may offer.
