What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[Maindrian Pace]

Today I did something for the first time, got a kit from Walmart. Surprised to see the new Mustang Fastback there. It was $27.95 on the display, but rang up at $21.95. That's less than HL on 40% off week if they carried this kit - which they don't.

My walmart has a few kits locally, Nothing spectacular enough for me to bring home. Haven't checked the other 2 near me... but i did finally get a workbench back up thanks to Wayfair... Now just waiting on the chair and desk lamps that clamp on to the side before i can start getting to modeling again ?

It’s the typical Chinese booth you can get from Amazon or eBay for round. $99 or so. Different styles, but there bout all the same, and function the same. The one he got is one of the cleaner ones that can fold up.

Thank you. I have the previous model and was wondering if there was any improvement. Mine works well.

Besides some having 2 fans instead of one, and more lighting, and style. That’s bout the only improvement you’ll see on these type of booths all in one booths. I think they all use 3K rpm PC fans or industrial pc fans as exhausts.  I own one when I first got in the hobby, but quickly upgraded by building my own using vent works stuff, and than upgraded again to the 36” peace keeper deluxe by pace. It’s the last booth I’ll ever need for what we do.

Thank you for the Info Dusty. I was thinking about a Pace but at 68. I don't know. I'd love one.

Wednesday, I got the Super Stock Project Six Pack decals from SMP. They look beautiful! Now, I guess I need to find a '69 Roadrunner kit...

Hit a couple of flea markets this weekend and picked these up.

[Ace-Garageguy]

More beautiful bits from Forward Resin, still some of the highest quality work available, easily in the same game as RepMin.

5-bolt Minilites, stock '32 Ford firewall, post-'39 Ford "juice brakes" backing plates, a few slushboxes, etc.

Thanks Casey.   

             

And several kits I've been after for a long time, finally at "reasonable" prices...

Testors / Italeri Ferrari Cali Spyder 250GT

Another one...

Testors / Fujimi BMW 635CSi

But wait...there's more...

Testors / Fujimi Porsche 930

...and a sad little Revell Deal's Wheels "Stink Ray", that's going to be something really crazy.

Nice score!  I’ve been after that Ferrari for a long time now.  Just can’t justify what they’re going for on eBay.

Yup...it took a while to find one I'd pop for.

Not many available anyway these days.

I got this one for about half the average BIN price, and figgered that was probably as cheap as I'd ever see one.

Lucky!  I’ll find one eventually.

By the way, it’s good to see you back!?

The place ain't the same without you Ace.

[A modeler named mike]

another two deliveries from eBay showed up today. The '66 rambler station wagon from AJ's vintage model car parts on eBay will more than likely be mated with the AMT '65 Chevelle El Camino chassis, rims and slicks to make it a grocery getter. Those wheel bases seem to match up both width and length perfectly. The AMT Gremlin F/C kit will go on the shelf till later. I had been following that kit for well over a year. ✌? Back to the gotta have it list..Next!
