Got these locally (Iowa City, IA) from a family friend of the original owner of these models. I got a large collection of built kit (58-63 era) from this same person last year. These had been misplaced until recently.

MIB: AMT 64 Chevelle wagon, AMT 64 Elcamino and Monogram 55 BelAir (blue).

Lightly started: AMT 64 Impala convertible, Monogram 55 BelAir (red) and Monogram 34 Ford (original issue).

The rest are empty boxes for built kits I had gotten last year.

Resin 63 Falcon Sprint kit from Best Model Car Parts.  Thanks, Michael!

I bought one myself, and I'm quite happy with it.

CARBS show in Dayton last weekend....

I 've been wanting the Sox & Martin 'cuda but they seem to go closer to $50 at shows around here.

All are open/complete except the BMW which is F/S

I built that BMW 750iL several years ago, and I plan to give it a clean up, and maybe some updated wheels and tires. It was not an easy kit when I built it, and I was at the top of my game 25 years ago when I built it.

Having blown almost the entire day at the DMV today cleaning up way overdue paperwork, I quit for the afternoon and finally took the time to look at the rest of the kits I dragged home from the late October ACME meet.

Only thing I'm a little disappointed by is the skinnyish tires on the 4X4. I wasn't expecting big ol' mudders, but something that looked more like what's on the box art would have been nice. The as-built ride height doesn't look like it's going to be close to the box-art either, but the art is probably considerably higher than stock anyway, so a little liftin' will be in order.

I bought a 3/4 ton chassis for one of my 67 Utility trucks.

Also got a '64 Old convertible to donate parts to save a '62 Cutlas body.

I've got the same set. This post made me check mine as I haven't used them yet, sure enough only 2-3 sizes are marked.

Found these at WalMart today. Their display is not as large as usual, only one side. The 3500 was $19.97 and the Demon was $24.97.  I also noticed they carry sheets of decal paper. I didn't check prices, but the sheets appear to be 8X10.  They have clear and white and they are designed for ink-jet printers.

Got this today.....Pocher-Torino Casemate Naval Gun-24 pounder....going to trade it..

[Ace-Garageguy]

Found one of these at the "antique mall" when I stopped in to check if the train lady had restocked (she had).

AMT '71 Pinto, open but complete, nice box, bad decals, less than they're going for on feePay.

Almost walked away from it, but figgered it was one of those "buy it when you see it" deals that are gone when you go back.

That is some mighty sweet box art. Maybe I need to do my 1:1 Pinto like that?🤔

I’ve bought a few sets of those as well as packages like that of single sizes off of Amazon. Absolutely love them!

Found this at a local Michael’s and thought I’d give it a try. Normal price was $8.99 but was on sale for $4.99. Anyone else tried this setup?

They also had a limited selection of model kits. They had :

2 69 Camaro Z28

2 69 Nova Special Edition kits

and about 12 of the 71 Olds 442

I got one in a lot of built kits earlier this year.  Clean build but the scoop is positioned that I can't get the hood off.

Between you and Bill/Ace-Garageguy flaunting these cool pony finds, got me noticing that I've neglected to score any to fill that slot in my arsenal of plastic. I do have an older stock build from years ago that i butchered and puttied trying my hand at customization. 🤦‍♂️

[dave branson]

Stuff I got this week. So I was given a collection this week. The 70 Chevelle is an RC Drag car, there were several built Lego cars along with 2 new kits. There were about 10 builtup kits., plus 2 new kits. I purshased a Revell London Bus

[Tabbysdaddy]

Nice wiener.

[Brudda]

I saw this and bought it today. it looked cool. Totally resin and curbside. Has photoetch and aluminum parts. Tires are rubber. Strange only one door opens. I have never seen this kit or the company before. The resin has a few pin holes but things seem to fit good. 1/24

Nice find.  I have the full detail and it is a very finicky build.

The beginnings of my most ambitious motorcycle build yet!
