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

[A modeler named mike]

In the mailbox today. I was very shocked when I saw the box. It looked as if it had been crushed or took a good hit. Thankfully the kit wasn't compromised, not even a dent since It's a gift for my Dads mechanic who owns a '69 GTO.

These arrived today. Love the ugly little Mazda Carol.And a brochure of the 4th Southeast Michigan Model Car and Toy Fair held on Sunday, August 14, 1994. Wonder if they still have that show or not.

In the mail today from Jack modelling: 1/24 scale custom-made 3D-printed resin wheels for the Alfa Romeo 1900 from the Centenario Collection - together with Scale Designs excellent decals you have everything you need to turn these into 1954 Carrera Panamericana participants (the steel wheels come with seperate hubs):

How is the quality? I know they released another version of this bus as well.

Quality looks pretty good.  A couple PE piece for grilles and Greyhounds for the sides.  From looking at a build video there a couple minor body fitment issues that'll need some work.  Probably start "dinking" with it after the holidays.

I went to a local gun show last weekend and found this. Shrink wrap gone all parts in bags.

That sir, is a great find!

These arrived today.  Judging by the number of sites I had to search t find them, this represents 2/3rds of the Humbrol #20 Crimson enamel left in Canada, but I use a lot of it, so it seemed prudent to stock up.

Check to make sure everything is there, when these came back out some of the kits were missing parts trees from the ‘factory’, the one I bought new was missing parts .

Buddy of mine picked these up for me from a shop that was closing its doors after 50 years

These were hard to find, so ended up getting three. Might be two too many, but hey it's always good to have spares!

Shout out to Model Roundup! First time ordering and very impressed. The chrome paint (can't wait to try it out, weather permitting) and detail parts to finish my sons Camaro. I'll definitely be ordering from them again.

Gotta love USPS. The only thing I can say is they are better (most of the time) than UPS, Fedex, etc...

Just I out of 173 kits from eBay shipped USPS not bad odds. Especially since the kit wasn't damaged.

I once bought a semi-rare watch from Ebay and the seller packed it pretty poorly. Then USPS crushed the box causing one end to pop open. They delivered me an empty, broken box and a note on how to file a claim...I'm not so sure someone at the postal service isn't proudly wearing my watch to work every day.

Was cruising through WalMart looking for some Christmas gift packaging and happened to notice a model display in the aisle of the toy department.  All of the Coke kits are marked at $19, but they have a fair selection of older releases: 65 Bonneville, 53 Ford Pickup, Bulldozer, etc. Most of them are shelf marked at $21.97 and up. I picked up the 64 Olds hardtop, when I checked out it rang at $15.  I may need to go back and see how well my luck holds out.

Got these today at my local Ollies. There were the earlier kits and also some 56 Belair that they had like a year ago.
