From the show today. The Willys is missing some parts, but has two bodies, so I'm not complaining, as I intend to grab another '41 anyway for a gasser that I hope to soon begin.

Grabbed a few things at the Spirit of Speed show at the NHRA Museum in Pomona, CA 

The taxi is only the box, but, I have  bagged glue bomb that now has a new home!

Your 4th picture down, the 70? Ranchero has me drooling. Nice batch!

These three built ups just arrived today from eBay. There are some broken and missing pieces but I'll be making modifications anyway.

Fresh off the plane from HobbyEasy in Hong Kong. P/E sets are for the Civic and the smaller one is a Hobby Design for the Revell Audi eTron RS

Leapin' Fairlane! Won this as a single bidder on eBay for cheap, it's really arch-warped, but certainly not at the end of its shelf display life yet! I vaguely remember mentioning this idea to our MCM builder Brizio years back, this kind of thing can be salvaged by turning it into a caricature wheelie burnout dragster, complete with the exaggerated oval-shape tires out of the 1:32 scale Tom Daniel Snappers series of caricature dragsters, (or the Polar Lights repop variants) and with a double-blower intake sticking out of the hood from one of the old MPC Zingers kits, along with other requisite dragster bits.

The latest addition to my growing promo collection arrived an hour ago in the mail. A Johan two tone blue over ivory white 1959 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight 4 Dr. with a signature of the late Bill Cosby on the roof that I got from from EBay. It even has the famous Johan smile which doesn't look all that bad. Overall, the car is clean and in real good shape.

That's a great idea. I've always thought the same but never acted on it. Definitely post some photos if you go through with the transformation.

Just won one of these on eBay. One of those old Revell Chris craft sport fishing yachts. Should be cool to do a boat. As far as I can remember, I only did the PT 109 when I was a kid.

Thanks Carl! The Beer Wagon was one of my early builds as a kid. I hope to rebuild this one and do it justice this time. The Tijuana Taxi is one that I always wanted but somehow never got. The Dog Catcher was a bonus. I don't remember even knowing about this kit, but it's cool!

PM will be on the way shortly.

I picked up one of those this summer too.  Haven’t dug into it yet though.
