Paul Payne Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I just received some goodies from an old friend who is moving from the east coast to the west coast. Several parcels of basswood strips, a balsa airplane, and something called Space Clusters which assembles into 3d geometric shapes using neon colored plastic rods. Question- does anyone know if these rods are styrene? These could be useful in some interesting new ways........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Some great looking kits and paints. The wheels on the Chevelle kit box represent the optional hub caps that Chevrolet started offering with the '65 Chevelle SS 396 model. They were a very convincing looking wheel cover and weighed almost as much as the wheel it's self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Got my Model Cars magazine today. Nicely done. I have to say that Larry Greenberg did a yeoman's job writing the reviews of all those kits. Very well written and very well detailed. Larry got me interested in buying the two Chevies (MCSS and the Fire Chief 70 Chevy) even though I had no real interest in them and the Land Rover and the Firebird as well. Talking to the wife about it and she just shook her head. About Grumpy's racer, when Larry mentioned the Monza grille on the earlier issue of the Vega kit, Larry said that that car was not quite accurate, and he is correct. I do know that Chevy offered a Monza wagon model with that very grille using the same body as the earlier Vega, just not on the coupes or hatches.

PierreR89 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Found these 3 aoshima Delorean's on ebay so i bought them all. I have not yet decided if i am going to buy 3 more just i can have all of the movie versions on display at the same time, all three can be built in 2 different ways.

NOBLNG Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I picked up these two tweezers for $6 in the male grooming section at Marshalls. I have two pairs that I use constantly...one doesn’t open very wide and the other is “magnetic” and frustrates me all the time. Hopefully these will be a treat.😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) The two sheets on the right arrived yesterday from Slater’s Plastikard. The two on the left I got last year but are too large of scale. I think I originally mis read how they scaled them 1:25 is not the same as 1/25 ? These are 8”x12” sheets and I ordered a few of each to be safe.😎 Edited April 16, 2021 by NOBLNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT had all 3 of the Aoshimas in one kit in blueprinter mail off kit. May be cheaper. I got one ages ago. Haven’t seen many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a glow in the dark, and a clear-ish orange Hot Wheels logo free gifts on my JF order last month. I would have loved the Superman logo and Big Boy figure!

cobraman Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Jimmy always throws some freebies in with your order. I like his stuff. Only had an issue with one thing I got from him and have bought many items from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhedir6 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I didn't officially "get this today" but I did order it. Going to dip my toes into the 3D printing set. Should be here by next weekend so, just have to decide what to print first. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08LKQLZRR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did sell the hatchbacks Gregg, but only about 2000 were built. I've never seen one and when the "Twister Vega" kit came out I thought it was just something MPC made up.

I remember I was walking down the street past a Chevy dealer in Santa Maria, California and these cars had just come out. I noted how much I liked the Monza type grille on the Vega body much better than the cheese slicer grille it had the year before. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

NOBLNG Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 On my way home from getting my first Covid shot, I decided to stop at a hobby shop in that neighborhood. To my dismay, I found out that the owner passed recently from cancer. Unfortunately the business is closing so I grabbed a few items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Got this neat little paint cart at Walmart. $15. I believe HPI guy recommended it. Snaps together in minutes. Holds 18 cans per level, total of 72 cans! The cans did wobble on the wire so i added a piece of cardboard on each shelf which did the trick! This frees up a lot of space! I do need a second one now!
