I got one of those calipers. I like it a lot, but it suck that it doesn't have a wheel on it. The 6in does, which I have also.

I wonder if you can swap heads?

[ffreak]

I got my DVD of Lemans Review 2009. They are great for reference and just a good old racing fix !!

The little wheel that moves the head, works a little easier with a wheel.

See how the 6in has the wheel and the 4in doesn't.

Not a big deal, just easier to work with the one that has the wheel.

They are handy I use mine all the time.

I finaly got some paint for my street kings charger, but I was in walmart, and foud this little jem I have been lookin for, for a long time, johnny lightning 1/64 92 gmc typhoon.

Now all I'm waiting for is the syclone kit so I can make a 1/25 typhoon, even though it will take alot of work.

If you get the resin Blazer conversion it won't be too hard. I don't remember who makes it, but I see them on Ebay from time to time.

Yeah, slight but there is a difference. To be honest for small stuff the little one is better.

[JamesW]

Thanks cobra98.

I've still got a few more packages on the way from Ebay.

[Jordan White]

Can't wait to start reading it!

[PatRedmond]

Revell 57 Chevy Bel Air post sedan.

[JamesW]

Where'd you get that book Jordan? I'd like to get my hands on one.

[Jordan White]

Picked it up on Amazon for 18 bucks (including shipping). There are ones that are in better condition, but they cost $30+. I believe there's also one in fair condition for 10 bucks.

I went searching though the site, and I found out it needs ALOT of work to look right, so I think I will just scracth it.

I got a Holy Grail!

Seriously thought I would never see this one. It even came with some extra goodies.

I guess that kind of makes up for my Mill that is on infinite back order supposedly.

[tuffone20]

Well I got some stuff back that I had let a friend barrow my model car mags from when I was building models some 17+ years ago and he had moved to NM with them and has been telling me he still had them but they were packed away and he couldn't get to them!!

He emailed me on Monday and said he would ship them to me and I should have them by today or tomorrow, and I was like ok next I'll hear is they were lost in the mail!!

But today 2 boxes came in the mail with all of my model car mags!! And I'm like a kid in a candy store looking at them again after not having them for so many years and thinking I never would see them again!!

Ok I have lots of reading to do................

[Chuck Most]

Today's Haul... Man,had a little trouble getting "all the kids in the picture" this time!

Top row: (L to R): AMT '32 Phanom Vicky, Gunze Sangyo '56 VW Beetle

Middle row: (L/R): Monogram F-350, Lindberg-Model King Triumph GT6+, AMT American Hot Rod Mustang GT, AMT '25 Model T.

Bottom Row: Revell '32 Ford Roadster W/Diecut McDonalds', AMT Double Dragster (yep... bought another one, tin box and all!), and an MRC Texaco station!

I also picked up a bunch of discounted rattle-cans...

All the kits came from Dean's Hobby Stop except the Double Dragster, which I bought from Hulings Hobby House.

I also got a new tire on the car, but didn't take a picture of that. Hope nobody's too disappointed by that!

Nice stash there, Chuck. I also have the Texaco station, but I'm in a quandary as to whether I should build a service station or turn it into a convenience store like the Quik- E- Mart .
