I found these at the Goodwill in Prescott Valley yesterday. With senior discount I paid $8.25. The Porsche is still in the plastic bags.

Dang what a steal on the Tamiya.

Picked up the new Ammo colored styrene cement:

Premise is, you can see a little easier your glue joints to make sure you got ‘em as good as you’d like I guess.  

Pretty sure it’s a gimmick, but I wanted to try it anyway…

Got the first item pictured a little bit ago. Planning to repaint to become a "Twin Pines Dairy" truck, which was the local milk & egg delivery service here when I was a kid. 

Teardown to begin this weekend.

Near the Twin Pines Mall where Doc Brown tested his DeLorean???

This arrived today, a bit worse for the wear. Came wrapped well in bubble wrap and only a plastic mailing bag. Kit seems unharmed. Also, engine was started, which wasn't stated or shown in pics.

That's the same lack of careful packing that I've experienced from Amazon's model shipping. Looks like lots of pieces have been removed from the sprue in the picture. I sure hope that it is complete.

Nice! You should let me take one of those 71 javelins off your hands lol

Today was a great day. Found one of MY must have kits, a 68 roadrunner. Picked up a monogram 39 chevy delivery and a 5 window tall T and a couple glue bomb/rebuilders to try something new. Best part of the day was when bought the 39 and 68, the seller threw in a 57 Fairlane for free. Absolutely awesome guy.

Took a trip to the Lobby of Hobby this morning, to see if they’ve filled any of the gaps in their shelves…and actually, they have!  A few anyway…

Picked up this newbie…I THINK this is the same as the other 60 that they sell, but without the go-kart?  Maybe shoulda got the one with the kart (but I didn’t compare yet) - plus some discounted acrylics:

Needed this for my latest build:

And I hadn’t seen this one before, and I’d like to build a lowrider so it followed me home:

Nice to see some new stuff there anyway!

Coming back from a trip to Belgium, I found this on my doorstep on Friday: 3 D printed Maserati tipo 60/61 (Birdcage) from jpgmodels of Slovenia.

Finally scored one of these yesterday.........

[Ace-Garageguy]

Had to physically go to one bank yesterday, and with a couple ibuprofen it wasn't too bad.

Since I was within 100 yards of the "antique mall" where I'd been getting the fantastic HO scale train deals, I figgered I might as well take a look.

The stall that used to be my train go-to no longer has anything worth anything in HO, and has shifted entirely to mostly toy tinplate O gauge and a little S gauge stuff.

However...the stall that sometimes has pretty good deals on plastic models had a Monogram 1/24 427 Cobra "Metalflake" edition and a repop boxing of the AMT 1/25 '63 Ford 500XL Styline kit, both sealed and unmolested...cheap.

    

I already had plenty of 1/24 Cobras, but this one was so cheap I can always use it for parts...or maybe a what-if blown Dragonsnake...and the '63 Ford plugged another hole in my AMT annuals lineup.

Though I'm kinda tempted to build one of the Styline kits with the full-boogie kit-supplied custom bodywork now that I have the skills (the ones I built with AMT's shrink putty when I was a kid weren't great), most likely I'll do it up prepped for NASCAR.

There's something I really like about the wide steel wheels and fat rubber under this body style.

Go for it Bill. I am doing the same thing with the 61 Ford Galaxie kit. I will be using the bubble top from the Monogram 58 T-Bird

[obs.caleb]

After years I finally restocked on glue and knife blades. I got a few other things too...

That one is a "street machine/custom" only, you can't build a stock truck out of the box. It only had one other release back in the mid-90s the year after the stock pickup kit was done.

It's one of a slew of "B-Side" kits of that era of AMT/Ertl - like the Lowrider 70 Monte Carlo - that never saw the light of day after Racing Champions bought the company until Round2 started reissuing them again over the past 6-8 months.

Can't remember if I showed this Toyota kit by Nitto that I got back in March:

Happily I got a Nissan companion for it last week:
