Picked something up to help my paint work. Still playing around with settings for small fine work. Got a good deal on it. from what I've seen on the web ,this is a nice machine for small detail work ,but hard to get replacement components for. Bought the cutter, computer, and program. The program has 260 folder with 26 different designs . I showed a few . There's flames , scallops, pine stripping , ...........................................................................................................

Eric you are gonna love that vinyl cutter for models, i used to own two of them when i used to do sign work, sold them both then a week later was very upset knowing the capabilities of the cutter/plotters, now I'm looking to pick one up on us cutter.com, not as good as quality as a graphtec but don't have the coin anymore for an industrial one. Very good find on your cutter enjoy!!!!!

Big score, Erik. Cool. Is that a mini drill press for a Dremel?

Thanks, yes and no, it is not meant for Dremels, but Proxxon. I bought recently a new minitool and wanted a Dremel, but learned that the new Dremels are by far not as good as they were. So I went for a Proxxon, it is a way smaller company and they make wonderfull tools, the quality is top notch and supplies for parts are not a problem.

With the stand I want to try and use it a little as a lathe.

Chris-

Nice haul. I see a few I'd like to get ahlod of there.

The Black 65 Vette, 70 GTX, the silver car w/red interior in the front of the first pic, and the 56 Nomad, red 70's Chevy pickup w/black hood and the silver 72 Chevy stepside. Oh, and is that a white Dodge pickup in the first pic????

Later-

That pickup is actually the Revell Datsun 720 pickup, the silver/red car is a Nova Pro/Street, and the 'silver 72 Chevy stepside' as you call it is actually an '87 F-150 flare side I've been working on... :)

Chris, you hit it lucky now that's what I call a good friend...

He hasn't touched any of his models in 10 years and needs to clear up some space in his house for his fiancee to move in. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time! B)

A set of "Rothman's" decals for my 1/18 Porsche 956L Lemans winner.....because the PC Police stopped the cowardly model makers from issuing cars that had cigarette sponsors in their livery. Yeah....wtf! Even historical race winners can't have the cigarette because what....some kid is going to see one and start smoking? Yeah, right!

Anyway, SUCK THIS YOU DUMB BUSYBODIES! I'll post before and after pics when I'm done.

I guess we better photoshop all the smoking out of the movies and old photos of movies stars, huh?

Nice looking Vic you have there. I have owned several over the years. Crownvic.net has lots of helpful guys on there, I've been a forum member there for ten years. How many idle hours do you have?

Today I went to Hobby Lobby and bought this with a 40% off coupon. The Oldsmobile was on clearance for 10.79 at HL.

But alcohol sponsorship is ok though :o

That has always made me wonder too. I never heard of anybody being killed by a smoking driver. As long as tobacco is a legal product they should be allowed to advertise it. BTW I am not even a smoker.
