Bought the 99 S-10 Extreme kit. Looks good at first glance. I'm glad the side skirts are separate, I'm building mine for my brother with a 98 so I'll be doing away with those. As a result, I'll have to design & print a new rear bumper. I may keep the front bumper with spoiler though. That would be more surgery that I'm comfortable with.

that looks interesting... would those kits be full detail or I suspect curbside being I never built one of those nu-nu kits?

I have others, they are not super detailed!

A very nice set of decals from "STS scale model decals" from my layouts.  Included are a set for a Wenmac Spirit of America, a rocket LSR, my Bugatti LSR, and Barber Warnock and Roar With Gilmore for a couple of early Indy cars. One less Reason to avoid my projects!

I raided hobby lobby of the rest of the evergreen stock I potentially might need. Also got some cool testors bottles and jewelers wire, just should have gotten a couple different sizes of the wire.20250930_220930.jpg.643ed1633839e86373a14462420598d2.jpg

Why, why, why didn't I buy this earlier? It's so incredibly good that I'm considering having it bound in hardcover.

Saw a news article that the closest thing to me that could be considered a hobby shop is closing (retirement-good for them).  Now my closest one is 125 miles one way (Berkeley, CA).  I went to the soon to be closed shop and got a AMT 1966 GT350 kit after being assured that there was enough good qualities to make this worth the purchase.  3 Tamiya spray bombs with fluorescent red and orange and Gunship Grey.  Also 2 Tamiya paint bottles with clear red and clear orange (one can't paint enough taillights and turn signals.)

We're in the Denver area for a family wedding and had time to kill before having lunch at Casa Bonita. I decided to stop at a local hobby shop, Colpar's Hobby Town in Arrora Colorado. An absolutely amazing store, for context, back home all I have access to is a hobby lobby and a severely understocked hobby shop. So the variety of paints, scratchbuilding supplys, and kits was amazing, I was like a kid in a candyshop. This is what I got, they had both the model a truck and sedan, same series, same price, same condition. I went with the truck, would have gotten both but there's not enough room in my bags.20251002_161033.jpg.29e43a969d923971173ffc89addd450a.jpg
