Picked this up at AC Moore with a 40% off coupon. I like this airbrush because it uses one needle and tip set up to from a 2mm line to 3" wide due th the double grind angles on the needle tip. It feels good in hand. It's the Badger 155 Anthem.

I found these on CraigsList and within an hour, they were on thier way home with me. Total price, including the display cabinets and funky fur for the bottom, $20!

Only found one date on the bottom of them and that was 1971. Most of the pieces were there and from what I can see, it is only missing one exhaust pipe for the Ice T. I'm thanking my lucky stars for this one. Sorry for the bad photo. It was taken with my phone.

Andrew,

I just happen to have one exhaust pipe for the Ice-T. Looks to me that it would be the passenger side. If you want it, it's yours. Just PM your address.

That's one heck of a find for $20!

Thanks and thanks!

Let me check my parts stash first. I seem to remember a set of them in there somewhere.

No problem. I had built one years ago and I've only got one or two random parts left in the bin. If you need the pipe, its yours. Just let me know. It's not going anywhere!

I found these on CraigsList

Nice score on the Horn Toad, Andrew. Easily the most desirable of that lot since Monogram re-tooled it into the Rattler. ;)

A while ago I posted a picture of the Scale Coachworks Sachs Porsche 935 K3 a friend gave to me as a birthday present.

I now managed to get the Apple version as well on eBay.

Local flea market finds. Not nearly as many models as normal at the flea market this month. A big toy show in St. Louis had many peoples attention.

The first photo all came from the same guy. He wanted to sell them in a lot I overpaid a bit for the Nascars but I really wanted the Thunderbird, Scuz-Fink, and the Duesenberg. The second photos stuff was just cheap and I thought figures would make a nice change of pace if I get burnt out on cars. The big find was the stuff in the third photo I pulled it out of the TRASH. I decided to get something to eat and I went to throw my trash away and saw the top of the decals box all I could see was "Rev" of Revell and pulled it out then I saw the cool old paint and the engine and wheel set. I couldn't believe someone would throw it away.

I do however have a little problem, The Copy of the ALPS printed LRT and Midnight Express trucks is severly undersized.

The Gold wheel arch decals would be on the tires. :lol:

I went all the way up to the Hobby Lobby in Ocala and got absolutely nothing. Thy have the same junk on their shelves month after month.

On the good side, I'm getting closer to completing a total revamp of my hobby room. More work on it tomorrow and maybe I'll be able to complete it on Sunday or Monday.
