These came in on Monday....the Mercedes came from Canada and the 3d parts are from Portugal ( ordered just over a month ago). Three sets of tires, a widebody kit for the Tamiya Mustang GT, and Ford GT.

Parts look nice, but second printer I've bought from that doesn't fully cure their parts. Out in the sun they go, or time to get a UV light.

 

Might wanna do an isopropyl alcohol rinse first and get all excess resin residue off. Then a UV light or sunshine

Birthday presents i treated myself to yesterday?

[Mittagskind]

Oh not bad. Happy birthday belated.?

Revell 65 Impala. It’s the Foose version but I’m going to build a NASCAR racer

These big Tamiya bike kits are always at ridiculous asking prices on eBay. They sit there week after week, month after month, waiting for that poor sap that just has to have it at any price.  Every once in awhile though, someone will put up an auction with a reasonable asking price. I was fortunate enough to get both of these from the same seller for a bearable cost. The Kawasaki is from 1982 and the Honda is from the 2011 release. They are both new in open boxes. I'm pretty excited to have snagged these!

Nice addition. Those are very hard to come by.

these have arrived over the past week. I thought i had them all but it turns out there another couple and some farm equipment in 1/24 too so I'll be hunting them down too. pics from internet. My only gripe with these kits are the too many tiny parts that could have been one piece, and the plastic tyres but neither is going to stop me having them built cos i like tractors. The lanz tractor company is owned by john deere now

Well...too late. Didn't think about that. But left in the early evening sun for only about 1_1/2 hours....all good! Thanks for the reminder!

Picked this up yesterday at a thrift store. I don't collect Avon bottles but I thought this was cool, and the art on the box is what caught my eye. Nice little thing for the shelf.

Later-

Those kits were nearly 200 pieces in 1/35 scale. MiniArt is known in the Armor World as being the home of the 1k piece tank kit. Everything they do is a bazillion more pieces than would ever be practical.

i'm noticing that, the front cover is maybe 1/4 inch diameter, 8 pieces and some are like pe parts so difficult to remove from the sprue,lol. at least i can get most of it built before any paint is done and its almost all one colour so i can paint it assembled like the real thing. I'm building the road tractor just now and i've noticed the molding is great, and most of the joins are hidden

[Modlbldr]

Just picked these up. The Impala.is complete a d sealed inside (surprizing) and the Blazer has enough of the main pieces to be built as a stock Blazer, if I come up with wheels and tires. Not bad for a total of $26.

A great assortment of desirable vehicles!

To my wife's dismay, I discovered Amazon JP has terrific prices on JDM kits. I got this one for $14, though the shipping was high. Next time I'll wait and combine several kits to make it a better deal.

Some good kits there. ?

[Exotics_Builder]

Just arrived today.  Nicely done.  Tires have good tread detail but are No-Names (have to get creative here).  You can see the engine insert in the pictures. Glass, tires, chrome and decals separately packed in plastic.  Nice decal sheet with options.

As far as more detailing, the last picture shows some options I have in my stash to enhance this.
