PatW Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I built that crazy thing last year. Fun little kit. Hey cobraman, do you happen to have a photo please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I was pleased to get the johan olds starfire for 25 quid. I'd love to get to one of the shows they go to but they're all too far away for me. I like that a lot of the kits they have are not very common so I'll be buying again. I got a couple of plymouth cop cars from them last month for 35 each which didn't seem too bad for unusual kits (at least on this side of the pond)I had to shut down their website, as i was starting to spend a little too much, they seem to have some nice stuff for sale at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I had to shut down their website, as i was starting to spend a little too much, they seem to have some nice stuff for sale at the momentYeah, I emailed them the other day about incomplete kits for the spares box, and they said there is another big collection about to be posted soon. And it's only spending too much if you aren't going to use it, at least thats what I keep telling myself, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) That dealership diorama is great!Yesterday at the flea market, I scored another cheap HESS Training Van. Badly yellowed plastic (usually from storage in a hot place). Missing a few minor parts but the working side door is still there.Also got a big stack of old car magazines cheap, mostly from the 1960s. I really enjoy the "Road Tests of the 196x Cars" articles. Toronado! '61 Tempest!And speaking of the Pontiac Tempest - the stack included "Car and Driver" mag from July 1982, with a long article about John Z. DeLorean. His DeLorean car factory in Northern Ireland had just been shut down and his company was on the verge of total collapse. But John Z. was still looking for investors to save the company.Here's the last sentence of the article: ""If the DeLorean magic can be made to work just one more time, he may yet avoid the collision that threatens finally to smash his dream."Three months after that article appeared, on Oct. 19, 1982, DeLorean tried to work his magic in a $24 million cocaine deal with sellers who turned out to be Feds. And that was the collision that really did smash his dream. Edited February 2, 2017 by Mike999 error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I just went to King's Hobby the last local hobby shop in Austin. Got the AMT VW Scirroco so that I have one more kit from my youth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russosborne Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Got the Jawbreaker dragster and AMT's 63 Corvette Stingray the last couple of days . Thought the Jawbreaker would be a quick builder, but not for me. Going to do the Stingray as a slump buster instead. As long as I can keep it simple.Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do just about anything you can imagine to it, and as much or as little detail as you want, and chances are you'll end up with a very satisfactory model.

iamsuperdan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My Italeri Ford Transit arrived yesterday. I've been wanting this one since I first heard about the reissue last summer. Back in the late 80s while at a car boot sale at Beaulieu Motor Museum in England, I found an original red bodied ESCI version, the one that came in the Ford branded box. Bought it and built it and thought it was awesome. Over the years, it rolled off the shelf one too many times and eventually got scrapped. I picked up an original white-bodied ESCI version a couple of years ago, and now I have this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Some builders and a promo. Thanks to hoarding junkers,i got bumpers,tallights and steeringwheel for the Chrysler. Nice stuff Tommy! The '62 Chrysler is tough one to find in convertible form. As you know, I just built one. I have a nearly carbon copy example of your '63 Dodge. Same color on the outside with a gold interior. It's one of those that's so well done that I'm debating whether or not to restore it. Yours looks to be in the same kind of condition.
