I picked up some paint for the wife's build, and some for the 47 I am working on. 

Snagged 2 more Initial D kits as well. One of them I have coming from Japan lol. But I don't mind duplicates so I can try new things.

Kit score from the local swap meet…I like showrods but never had this one.

Plus, for the grand total of 25 cents, a Shoebox Ford body.  No idea what I’ll do with it yet, but I wasn’t gonna leave it there…

I'd go ahead and get the figures. People come in all sizes and it probably won't be very noticeable. 

I will have to agree that the height may not be too noticeable next to the garbage truck, but stuffing a near 7’ tall woman in a sports car? Well the top better be down so she can see over the windshield! 😁image.png.528a720bea1a93fcc7bbf2a1f802af02.png

I’ve been buying more lately than I’ve actually been building. Got these in over the past few days.

Nice! Where did the Hawaiian tropic decals and the funny car bodies come from? Is the top one a Chevy Citation?

Another marketplace score. Tamiya paints, full bottle of extra thin, paint and glue racks and some brushes, as well as the kit. Kit is opened but untouched, as are the paints and glues. All for twenty-five. 👍👍

The decals and omni body I found on eBay. The Chevy citation came from slixx.

Stop hoarding, starting building those things!

And if you've built a bunch...group photo!

I have built 2 and have 2 more on my desk right now. I got to see a lot of those race at Road Atlanta, and Road Atlanta it was my favorite car back then. The 2 red cars are done working on the 2 orange cars

The postman and the courier called yesterday, making me a very happy chappy. 😁Got these. The magnifier I have wanted for a while, came up on special - grabbed it, much needed. The stash is building.

A buddy bought me a 1/16 AMT '55 Chevy Nomad since I expressed a desire to delve into 1/16 and greater. Will be here first week of September.

Just arrived from Hiroboy. Great place to buy from. Very glad to finally get the much coveted Mk1 Escort. Heller Jag purchased for its roof.

Recent LHS sweep. Nice little Dspiae vice. Another pin vise because you can never have too many.

A friend recently ordered a great quantity of CA precision applicator nozzles, and nice little applicator bottles with a metal tip, and gave me a bag of each. Very useful stuff.
