Brudda Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Bought this from Art Latski.NNLWest. Built only one nascar model, this kit is pretty good looking. A lot of parts. Might have to try this one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Have you heard of Girl Math? That's where she rationalizes a purchase, I think. How about Modeler's Math? So, yesterday we went down to Austin to see our first grandbaby and I had to stop at the nearby HobbyTown. I got the supplies I needed and looked at the car kits for a while. I love German stuff, so I got the Mercedes. That brought my total close to almost $90. That's where Modeler's Math came in. I remembered I had a coupon for $20 if you spend $100, so I got some more Plastruct I might need some day. Now I had a free $20 to spend so I picked up the GTR kit I'd sort of wanted for a while. With Modeler's Math, it only cost me $7, right? The Lamborghini came from my wife's stop at Hobby Lobby for yarn. I didn't need it, but it was too tempting to pass up. I can resist anything except temptation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept telling myself 'no' but ended up caving and throwing a one time bid. I surprised to be the high bidder but even moreso when I wasn't sniped. I don't know if these would have been bagged inside but it appears complete and was either carefully restacked after opening or never removed from the box. There’s another kit I never knew existed! Man you guys find some of the coolest stuff.👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Colmer Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Went to the Zimmerman Driving Museum in SoCal on Saturday. It's a great smaller museum that allows you to open the doors of the cars. Sundays, they give rides. We ended up taking to a docent who gave us an extra tour behind the glass wall. It was really fun hearing what it was like to drive a 20's Packard Limo. In the gift shop they had only one model car on the shelf. The price was right, so I bought it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can resist anything except temptation. I really like that Tamiya Calsonic Skyline GTG-R. From the headlights, it appears to be an R33. With some of the racing GT-Rs, Tamiya didn't alwsays identify what the specific model was. That Mercedes is pretty darned good as well! Your Math makes perfect sense to me.

Brudda Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Old matra Bandai kit. The box is destroyed but the model is ok. Got it really cheap. $20. Sure looks like an old tamiya kit. The kit is motorized. I’m going to put it together that way and see if it works. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Bought earlier this month but didn't want to jinx it until it was in my hands: 1/24 Italeri (Revell version) Ferrari 275 GTB 4. Been wanting one for a long time and this one popped up in Germany for only €20; no box and no tracking/insurance on the shipping. Crossed my fingers and it got here OK, and the seller even threw in two little packets of Gummi Bears! It'll be built as perpetual '60s/'70s TV bad guy Peter Haskell's car from the ABC movie Love Hate Love: Figure I'll do it all banged up from the last chase scene.
