Railfreak78 Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Today my free model fairy struck again and so when I showed up at work this was waiting for me. Hobby Lobby has it for $20 my cost FREE woohoo
MILD Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Some Mr Mark Setter and Mr Mark Softer. My search for embossing powder was fruitless so I resorted to flocking and painting but very happy with the finish... now the decals are giving me nightmares before I even begin! Edited July 31, 2010 by MILD
Guest Johnny Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 2 Laguna S3's and a set of Laguna Dale Sr decals and goodyear tire decals in white and yellow from Mikes Decal Warehouse! Mike and Karen run a 1st clas business and are the fastest shippers I have ever dealt with! The other Laguna is to build the Guthrie Kelly Girl stockcar!
Blake Rogers Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) I finally got my very own! It's being loaded on a transporter within the hour and headed my way from Seattle to Denver. really nice Cal how fast can she go? and you got any plans for it? Edited August 1, 2010 by moparfan426
kingiguana Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 really nice Cal how fast can she go? and you got any plans for it? A trailer ? A trailer ? Cars are meant to be driven !
impcon Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 I got this one a few days ago - a Hendrix resin '59 Biscayne 2 door sedan. I like it! Like most resins, it is not perfect but it's a heck of a start and I just grateful to have it. I bought it and a sealed donor kit from another board member.. !Thanks again Marc
CAL Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 really nice Cal how fast can she go? and you got any plans for it? Thank, well first thing it needs dropped down and some wheels. I might chip it. It rated at 5.7 sec 0-60 and a top end of 167.
CAL Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 A trailer ? A trailer ? Cars are meant to be driven ! Yeah it was 1377 miles away with not much between. Believe me that was the first serious plan to drive it back. Really, the only good place to stop is Salt Lake which was almost 900 miles and a 15hr + drive. Trust me, I will be driving it as soon as it lands.

A buddy of mine did something like that in '98..bought a '91 NSX in Portland and drove it back home to Denver. Looks like a sweet car..ever since I sold my M3, I've thought about getting a 911, esp. a 993...I have a buddy in Breckenridge w/ a 993 C4S..fun car.

I thought about it, it would just be a brutle drive, especailly if something happened along the way. They are a blast to drive, for sure, my car, a 964 is about 87% 993.
Greg Cullinan Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 These all came at once,all from a not so happy usps employee and from different folks. The stars were aligned for me The car with the plan box is a AMT 61 Mercury Monterey. Also last week picked up 2 Revell 66 Impalas.
crispy Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Picked up another one for my exotic car collection: Strangely enough this kit was double wrapped, which made me suspicious. I opened the kit and the original seal was still on, so that was nice. Opened the kit anyway and the body on it was really warped. Going to try a few methods of saving it. One of the many pitfalls of OOP sealed kits. Chris

Jared Roach Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Well I have got quite a few things accually! I got the the impala at micheals with a 40% of coupon while on vacation and bought the saws there too, they work GREAT! I got the rubber cement at a dollar store. The BMF, Knife blades and the other 2 kits I got at my lhs, and I really like them both, but never seen the box art of the van before though. The impala I'm still thinking about what I should do to it, but it WON'T be a cop car. I was board while on vaction so I desided to build it because it is a snap kit. 67 Charger, desided to get back to building muscle cars. VW bus. I went to the lhs for just the bmf, knife blades and the charger, but had to get this too. and the rest of the stuff. Thanks for looking guys.
Rob Hall Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Got a bunch of goodies today in the mail (working from home on Fridays is great!): Revell '10 Viper ACR AMT '70 Dodge Coronet Super Bee (an extra of the Round 2 issue) Tamiya '81 Nissan Skyline 2000 Turbo GTES 4dr AMT '67 Chevy fleetside pickup, partially built, seems to have all the parts there incl. tow truck parts and some Missing Link resin parts--Maverick/Comet stock interior tub,chromed Cutlass dog dish hubcaps, late '60s-early '70s Dodge and Plymouth dog dish hubcaps--very nice!
