Roadkill2525 Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I got these today at the Good-Guys car show in Pleasanton. A pair of Cibie driving lamps and a NOS 1986 Chevrolet Camaro Owners Guide.
Deckerz Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Just went round the corner to the car shop and picked up these. Also i have some clear coat iv not used yet, when i say some..... Carplan has better clear then hycote but hycote has better colour and primer, i just looked at the can and realised something... so il shoot a coat on the mustang project and see how it turns out.
PatRedmond Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 6 inches of water from heavy rains in the basement. Yep, that's where the kits are..... Bought a ShopVac.
highway Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 6 inches of water from heavy rains in the basement. Yep, that's where the kits are..... Bought a ShopVac. Sorry to hear about the basement, Pat! I hope you get things cleaned up and the water didn't damage anything important, kits or otherwise.
JamesW Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 6 inches of water from heavy rains in the basement. Yep, that's where the kits are..... Bought a ShopVac. Yup, that's what I got too.
RodneyBad Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 6 inches of water from heavy rains in the basement. Yep, that's where the kits are..... Bought a ShopVac. Ugh, the down side to having a basement. Well, now ya know how high off the floor to build shelves? We had 70degrees yesterday and Down pour of rain all night and its still raining.
Rob Hall Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Friday picked up my second Revell '62 Impala ht..LHS had put one back for me when their backorder came in.
PatRedmond Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Yep, that's water streaming out of that kit box. Plenty more as well.
highway Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Yep, that's water streaming out of that kit box. Plenty more as well. I hate to see that! I noticed in that pic, though, in the shelf directly behind the Ford kit that's crying, if there are decals damaged in any of those, I have some of those kits. If you have a way to print decals, I will be more than happy to scan the decal sheets for you or if they are deacls I'm not going to use, send them to you. If you can after you get the water cleaned up, put a post in the Wanted section of the kits you lost decals to, I'm sure not just me would be happy to help you recover the lost decals.

crazyjim Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Bummer, Pat. Sounds more like you need a pump more than a shop vac. Your basement have a sump pump? Please send some rain down here to FLA. It seems to rain all over the state except by me. Good luck getting dried out.
Joe Handley Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Yep, that's water streaming out of that kit box. Plenty more as well. I'm sorry to see that happened to you. That's exactly why I keep as many of my kits as possible in Rubbermade type containers :wub: Edited June 7, 2010 by Joe Handley
Jon Cole Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Pat, That sucks. I know first hand, our finished basement has been flooded twice. With raw sewage. Of course, that was a long time ago. Hope you can salvage anything valuable. Perhaps people here can donate replacement boxes to you as they build their kits? Edited June 7, 2010 by Jon Cole

Been there too, when I was younger on several occasions, my folks had to force the city to tear down the tree causing it!
Greg Cullinan Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Pat I am sorry to hear about this. I have my more pricey models in a rubbermaid,I have to work on getting more.My hobby room is in my garage which gets water occasionally. I'm sorry to see that happened to you.

Stang67 Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Sorry Pat. You must have been on the tail end of what came through here in Hamilton. Edited June 7, 2010 by Stang67
Joe Handley Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Pat I am sorry to hear about this. I have my more pricey models in a rubbermaid,I have to work on getting more.My hobby room is in my garage which gets water occasionally. I keep alot in a storage area down the road from home, so between those being sturdier than cardboard boxes and not being able to stop by all the time to look into how they are doing, that was the best thing to do. Just keep an eye out for them on sale at Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer, K-Mart, ect and look for the ones in the 18-30 gallon range, those seem to fit a decent number of kits, IIRC around 6-9 conventional sized model boxes should fit nicely.
PatRedmond Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Looks like about 100 kits are water damaged in some way, shape or form. Emptied a 5 gallon ShopVac 11 times. Luckily, I keep the donor kits down low on the shelves and they are MOST of the damaged kits. Some newer buys which had not made it to the shelves yet are wet as well. Oh well..... No loss of life. Material goods can be replaced.
Joe Handley Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 At least those were all that were lost Pat. Definitely look into doing the Rubbermade container thing though, it's worth the money.....believe me!!
