martinfan5 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) I bought four bottle paints, three cans of duplicolor primer, need to take one back and exchange it, two cans of testor one coat lacquer, roll of 3m masking tape, and some sand paper of different grits. Havent bought any kits for a few weeks, as we have a model swap meet next weekend, and a few of the kits I have been thinking about getting, might be there.

2000-cvpi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Not sure if it counts, but I cleaned my garage for the first time since we bought our house four and a half years ago. The best part was finding my Hubley diecast kit collection. I packed them up when I moved out of my parent's house over ten year's ago. I vaguely remembered where they were, but I never had the motivation to clean the garage to get them. Here are the highlights, one big box of part's, every Model A version Hubley made, one Dusenberg, two Packards, and the first model that I ever built entirely on my own.

Fabrux Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 My father-in-law loves feeding my addiction of getting models; he frequents a local thrift store and whenever automotive models pop up he gets them for me. Today it was a Monogram Porsche 911 Slant Nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shucky Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Wheel score off Ebay. 24 Sets of wheels. They scale out to about 22's. Will probably trade or sell some off and keep a bunch. Mini Countryman All4 kit by Hasegawa. Awesome quality kit. Going to build it box stock for my wife since she just bought the real thing. Plus the new Camaro SS kit which is probably one of the nicest new kits I've purchased. Finally a Maisto diecast Mustang that I plan to rob of its wheels and make resin copies.

jayhkr Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just made my first Hobby Towers purchase for a 49' Merc Custom Coupe and a '32 Ford 3-Windowed Street Rod. Since I have never purchased models online or not, I wanted to see if spending $40 after shipping for those 2 is a decent deal or not? $10 for shipping seemed about right so that left each model at about $15 each. Just curious, I have a large "wish list" with them now!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool - I have been looking at the Mini Countryman on Hobby Search - Hasegawa kits are super nice, underrated kits. I haven't seen it built up anywhere.

The70judgeman Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Went to Michael's, don't really buy models there, but had a 40% off coupon. Got the Revell Street Burner '79 Camaro Z28 3'n 1 kit on clearance and the Revell Special Edition '49 Mercury kit. Even got another 40% off coupon on the receipt. At least there's a few more kits there I wouldn't mind getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Got me this little gem off the evil bay with a view to restoring it. Having it in front of me now, I have second thoughts though. It is neatly done and has the best brush paint job I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdurg Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I didn't "get" anything today, but I did learn that there's a Michael's near me and I can go there for supplies, items to use on my model, and perhaps pick up an airbrush one day when the funds allow. So that was good to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I didnt get anything today, like my car back, or another purchase made back in January, but I did order $95 worth decals today Edit- oh wait, I bought some blank decal paper today Edited March 15, 2012 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
