Bullybeef Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Not something new but more of a reconnection, I’ve been home visiting my family and my sister said that there were some boxes in her basement that I left behind, now I moved 22 years ago so I was surprised that all this stuff still existed. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrenchr Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I ordered this through amazon for my glue bottles on my workbench and it is a very nice 3D print. I even left feedback and to be honest is rare for me. I figured it would be a crude 3d print and my expectation was just functional and I was very impressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Stopped in one of my local Harbor Freight stores and picked up a couple of things. Out the door for less than $20, not too bad. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightliner59 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I got a box of 50 .6mm carbide drills. Can't pass those up for $30, shipped! Apparently, I don't feel like I can ever have enough of them. I think I have over 1000 carbide bits, in a lot of sizes. I buy re-sharpened ones, and have bought lots (not "a lot")of approximately 150 for about $30. I love them, in my machines, especially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mother load. You have great sister seeing she held on to these so long.. My brothers blew all of my old builds up with fire crackers.

Rob Hall Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 ^ I recently got a built Johan Eldo of that era--decent but missing the chassis, engine, wheels and tires. I have a spare AMT Escalade..thinking about cramming the Slide chassis/etc under the Eldo. Checked out a nice semi-local hobby shop this morning (Haven Hobby in Elyria, OH) and picked up a couple more MPC '76 Caprices..want to use the interior and chassis for some Too Many Projects 3D printed '70s Impalas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Latest shipment from HobbyEasy in Hong Kong, I ordered this right before Christmas and was stuck waiting for some piece of this order to be fulfilled for almost a month. Regardless this shipment includes the latest version of Meng's Audi R8 GT3. This boxing strikes me as being on the fine edge of false advertising. Because the literature mentions this is the livery for the 3rd Place finishing car from the 2020 Macau GT race, the decals are incomplete as they are missing all of the race-directed sponsors, windshield banners, number placards, etc...albeit none of those things are on the box art either. Also a load of parts. Looking at this picture now it's a bit more blurry than I wanted so here's a text list of the items...from top left Hobby Design GMA T.50 Detail Up, Studio27 Toyota 91C-V Detail Up, Decalpool 1990 JTTC PIAA Honda Civic, Hobby Design Ferrari Logos (I have a Tamiya 360 Spider with old decals), and three items from Far Frog Models - 3D Printed Grilles for the NuNu Audi A4 and Volvo S70 and Cam Covers/Wiring & Coils for the GMA T.50. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought the same head band about a year ago or so. I don’t use it all the time, but it’s great when you need to get up close and personal with your work.👍😎 Edited February 12 by atomicholiday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
