martinfan5 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Bought one myself last week, but I dont think I will have mine tell close to the end of the month, I bought three other kits at the sametime, but one was on backorder, so I am waiting to ship them all at the same time. Plus I have a pre order that is due this month as well, I have a feeling the shipping is going to be half of what I paid for all of them
Tom Geiger Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 A new coffee maker! Our old one made the morning coffee and died with a smell of burning electric wires. So not being folks who can do without our morning jolt, we ran out and bought a new Mr Coffee unit. Now here's the quandry... I scratch built this coffee maker using my 1:1 as the pattern. Does that mean I need to scratch build the new one? LOL

MachinistMark Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 man! i built that kit as a young fella. been looking for one ever since to actually do well!
Ramfins59 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 OK, first of all, I bought myself a Christmas present of a 1958 Ford Convertible resin kit from The Modelhaus. I love all the '58 cars. Some people consider the '58 Ford to be an ugly car, but, I happen to like it. This is a really great casting with next to no cleanup needed at all. My plan for this, which is on my workbench now, is to make this a "bolt-on" Custom...... as if someone threw a J.C. Whitney catalog at it in 1959 to see what would stick...!!! I got the curbside kit with skirts, an uptop and convertible boot, and a full continental kit with an extended rear bumper. I sanded off all name badging and will be adding twin dummy spots, mirrors, front spinner hubcaps, lake pipes and a swept back antenna on the trunk lid. The color will be Tamiya Coral Blue. One of the things that I really love about this kit is that the interior is NOT a bucket...... It is a platform style interior with the front seat, side panels, dashboard and steering wheel all being separate pieces. This is going to be GREAT to detail the heck out of. The colors will be Tamiya Coral Blue and white. In addition to this kit, today my wife treated me to a trip to my LHS for a belated shopping spree Christmas Present. Here's what I picked up I finally got the '50 Olds and the '57 Ford kits and a bunch of flat paints for interior detailing along with some epoxy, non-fogging CA glue, and XActo blades. While wandering through the very well stocked store I came across the 1/48 scale 1942 Ford Army Staff Car. Now 1/48 scale is pretty darn small, but since it was such an odd find I thought that at some point I'll try to make it into a Street Rod. Should be a good challenge if I don't go blind trying to work on it... LOL.
935k3 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Not today actually but last Friday I picked these two up at Performance Hobbies in Webster, NY. The Ferrari has an excellent set of treaded rain tires. a and I just ordered this from MS Hobbies;
MsDano85gt Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Thursdsay I got my (complete) ford motorsport 82 imsa racer and the 3 engines with stands (chevrolet I presume them to be) friday I got my "miller" 82 imsa racer (zakspeed powered like the. Forementioned) no decals (debating on whether to paint it black and buy capri zakspeed decals or buy the miLler?) Also with the jot the jps imsa racer. 91' circa (jason player special) whatever that it black and gold (no box or decals). But that's why you get em cheap on the flea bay! Hope my kens fuzzy fur comes today (saturday). Really pumped about this small 1.7 litre ford zaakspeed s cylander pushing well over 500 hp and capable of 9,000 rpm who woulda thought out of that tiny motor??!!
MachinistMark Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 There are Turbo 2.3 fords and 2.2 ecotecs both eclipsing the 1000 horse mark. And the 10k rpm mark as well
lordairgtar Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Got a visit from the great Jimmy Flintstone last night. He dropped off a bunch of HHR bodies in panel and window versions. This is a slammer body as the glass areas are solid resin. He's got them if you want them. I got several ideas for these. They will accept a shortened by 1/8 to 3/16th inch PT Cruiser chassis. As it's meant as a slammer, there is no glass or interior.
MsDano85gt Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Hey machinist mark I guess that means my little 2.0 eaton supercharged ecotec driven saturn should be way more capable than the factory rev limited 6,450 rpms I can still feel the car pullin strong then it hits the wall of the factory rev limit booooo
Nick Winter Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Some good news (finally), One of the patches I cut out was for no reason, there's metal there, had this good news only to have the bottom picture happen and end my work for the day. and yes there's still quite a few other things left to do in that area, need to fix my grinder first, then I'll clena up my spot welds, and do the next section. I still have quite a few small holes to take care of. Edited January 6, 2013 by Nick Winter
MachinistMark Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Got the cam and crank out of my 350. Frost plugs too. Next step is hot tank and magna flux. If no cracks then I'll bore it and start saving for a set of pistons. Also new tool box sticker:
jrherald420 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Not much today, only got my replacement decals from Revell.
gtx6970 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 WooHoo, A resin bed for a project that is now a lot closer to the ft of line than it was recently.
Guest Johnny Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Walked into the model aisle at HL and they were just putting a 57 Ford on the shelve. I grabbed it before she could set it down. They only got ONE!!! She said that is how they are doing a lot of the new kits. I don't get it???? But who cares with the 40% off coupon. then picked up a 55 Nomad to have a good body for a full kit that had the body chopped up for the truck. I'll use that body with the half kit and make the truck too!
jrherald420 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 My Hobby Lobby wont let me get away with more than 1 coupon a day, i mean that is what it states on it. What i do is take my 16 month old with me and tell them hes buying it. I get some funny looks but they cant stop me from doing it.
