ra7c7er Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Picked up the MPC Chevy Caprice w/trailer at Hobby Lobby with the 30% off. I had not seen the kit there before (I was in the store the Saturday before the sale) so I asked the department manager about it and he said they get odds and ends stuff for the sale and that our store should be seeing more different models come in in the next few months. Apparently a new manager (different from the guy I talked to) is a military modeler so what just back in august was only 20ft of models (including paint and accessories) has boomed into 48 ft of model kits, paint and tools. The manager said if sales keep up they will continue to get more and will rotate kits on a faster basis. Perhaps Hobby Lobby in some locations is realizing the hobby market is there we just don't have a place to buy stuff. The store just last week got the entire line of Model Master spray Lacquers to go with the one coat stuff they had been carrying.

I have also gotten an Academy FFG-7 w/ P/E and resin, a Hasegawa Egg Plane, a Revell P-51 Mustang, a Tamiya Lotus Type 79 w/ P/E, a Tamiya McLaren MP4/7 plus a bunch of Evergreen and other supplies. So much for this being a cheap hobby

RodneyBad Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) April 1:1 Swap meet and found me a few models and some questions. I've never seen models packaged like this. All parts off of trees and Bagged tightly than all taped together in lil bags and bagged in bigger bag. At $5 each, they did look complete from what I could tell, so far.

Jon Cole Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I won the club raffle yesterday. Grabbed another Ala Kart. That "mini" Red Ram Hemi fits so nice into tight spaces! Chrome reverse set ain't too bad either.
lordairgtar Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 At the AMG meeting last Friday, I sold some extra stuff I had but someone brought in some random bits and said they are free. I wound up with a nice build up unpainted original issue Hubley Rolls Royce. It's the same as the Minicraft kit but the molds haven't gone to pot yet. It will be converted into a street machine Bentley that I see around here. I also grabbed the Premier 1960 Rambler which I believe was 1/32nd scale. This is a built up but will be made into slot car. I got a 64 Thunderbolt sealed kit I traded someone for with a built up Cobra in original box. I also picked up the 1960 Ford Sunliner convertible resin body for free.
