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

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!

There's a "hit" on the 'ol hobby funds!

[FoMoCo66]

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.

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

Couple that I picked up over the week end.

These came in from Spraygunner.

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.

Matsui 1/24 Blower Bentley, Fujimi 67 Porsche 911R, Revell 1992 Mustang Drag version.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Found a reasonably well-built Monogram 1/24 Scarab for $10.

I have a few of these as NIB kits, but this one will probably be the one that gets (re)built.

                                   

I'd like to show it with the front-engined Strombecker version.

I had a Revell plow truck I purchased, and painted 10+ years ago. I used the frame and drivetrain to make the Foxy Box van 4X4, and the plow went to replica of my plow truck. So today I corrected all of that nonsense and used a gift card to get the Big Game Country pickup to put the painted body purpose again. I also purchased another Warlock Dodge since the 4x4 system went under the long bed 78 Dodge to make a M880, and the 2WD from that went to the Warlock to make another Roadkill vehicle. The Mopar Muscle Truck! 

Stealing from Peter to pay Paul only leads to more models purchased.🙄

Beautiful paint!

Been wanting to get one of these to do a Kustom where I would modify it further to enhance the existing asymmetrical design of the car. Picked it up for $32 today.

[meechum68]

Picked up another set of clips for painting, got them on Tuesday.

Once a month flea Market: Factory sealed Monogram Rookie of the Year Combo Ford Thunderbird's . paid $12.00

[NOBLNG]

Flea market finds. The fellow threw in the Viper for free cause there isn’t much left in the box. I think the other two are mostly complete.

Edit: I only got 4 wheels and tires with disc brakes from the Viper kit….and the bucket seats. The other two kits are complete.🙂

Nice score, been trying to find this set for a decent price.

[WillyBilly]

Finally got a Captain Hook. I have always wanted one since the came out a black snap kit sometime in the 80s. The tires and wheels are all wrong, but I have a set of dually wheels from an AMT C3500 I will use instead.

The Catalina is in progress now, gonna go old school drag racer, but not sure what style tbh. Still researching.

The little Datsun is now in progress.. full box stock but instead of red, still contemplating color.
