So, I got an old tackle box for parts, my mother inlaw who passed 16 years ago was a sewing monster, well we were unpacking a shipping crate soon to be my actual outside shop for mechanic work etc, we came across it, full of stuff that is old and in poor shape due to age, my wife couldn't salvage any of it, so I am recycling the tackle box for parts. And if things stay like they are, I may make a traveling model building box out of it.  Will get some foam for bodies, and have lots of space for tools, and paint. So it was my new to me tool box for building.  

Those make great part boxes..

  I hardly ever browse eBay, (I've always wondered if the company name is Pig Latin for "BE"...) but for some strange reason I did last Sunday afternoon. I came across 2 copies of one of my Holy Grail kits at a decent price that was too tempting to pass up. Factory Sealed, New In Box., Boxes both in mint condition...

Another successful Hobby lobby adoption.

[Andria H]

Coming early next week from ebay. I am going to be keeping the stock dash in it because the design ended up used on the Astro/Titan and General/Bison trucks and RTS bus in different forms and inspired Pontiac's 69-77 Grand Prix and Grand Am dashes & I don't think Bill Mitchell's design needs to be adulterated with a stock C3 dash. Otherwise I will be building it as a Silva/Motion Maco GT kit car on 60s era 427 Vette guts/frame and newer AMT rims & wheels & a full rear window instead of louvers.

Received a sealed inside Thunderbolt kit on a trade deal with member catpack68  the other day ( thanks again )

Ive been thinking its about time to do another T bolt

So this trade worked perfectly and will not sit in the pile for too long

I hit my LHS, and the LHS in Tulsa today.

The Merc & Paint is from LHS, and the other paint goodies is from Tulsa.

These came Saturday. Some new super thin CA and the LED UV light. I wanted to try a different brand of CA, cheaper and a "non clogging tip". The UV light I purchased because I've received multiple orders of 3D parts that are not 100% cured.

Hobbyshop buy from Saturday.🤠

[WillyBilly]

I think this is the last purchases for a while. While model building can break out into two hobbies. Building and collecting, I have been doing way more collecting than building this year.

[Lownslow]

bought a much needed photo booth

Recent toy show acquisition  It look like the Tamiya Jeep inside, but there is no engine?

[catpack68]

Got this MPC Monza in a trade with fourm member gtx6970(thanks Bill) It will probably become a Grumpys Toy Pro Stock Monza or one of the local cars I used to see at Pro Stock match races in the Carolinas in the late 70s-early 80s

Two sets of Dremel motor brushes to see if I can come up with a set that will work in my older one...

Interestingly, the carbon parts are shorter than the worn out ones that came out of it.

You have 59 seconds to put this together. That sounds like a modeler's version of a Jigsaw movie.
