More paints from Splash. The two little ones are part of the small line of Land Rover colors Sam has decided to do - for the new(ish at this point) RevellAG kit from two years ago. The bigger bottle is a custom mix of 1988 Toyota Dark Blue Pearl for the Hasegawa MR2.

Finally got one of my grail kits that I probably paid WAY too much for, but it's a grail after all, and that's what happens.  I'm a sucker for '60's TV show stuff....

Went to visit a local friend he said he had some of those ugly cars that I like. 
there are a couple of neat survivors there, most of it is pure glue bomb junk, but I had fun digging through his bins for all this treasure. A vast majority I will possibly trade off.

Nice haul! That Monogram Model A Phaeton is one I wish would get reissued.

I have a better survivor version of the red chariot. The black one could be restored.

Some more 3D printed rims/tyres, this time in a Minilite design, wides for the rear and narrower ones for the front with disks to suit..

They will fit most things 1/24 or 1/25 scale. Perhaps on a Lotus 7 in build at present or a Porsche 914 or most anything else with a sporty feel!

Well it finally came today. The vintage Monogram squarebody Blazer kit I was waiting for. I'm really excited about this one.  At first I got nervous because the factory 20220214_134612.thumb.jpg.d4657422d57c7a5eb69aa2a7f1f2ec48.jpg20220214_135120.thumb.jpg.57bfff290a1ceb4a7d4d38a169779319.jpg20220214_135116.thumb.jpg.06cee6688503e9c6fb9b75e01957b92f.jpgsealing looked a little off like somebody had faked it and when I checked, everything was there. It's molded in this maroon color which doesn't look as bad as I imagined it would but I already decided on an orange. Here I up mocked it up with the super swampers.

That cool. I didn’t even know that one ever existed.

Scott8950 sent me this rough little C2 Corvette body, rather than throw it out. It's the kind of thing I really enjoy building into something cool.

First thing I thought of when I saw it was another vintage M/SP "what if" drag car, in the same vein as this:

After a little internet digging, I found this crazy thing. I think we have a vision forming...

I can't wait to see what you do with it. It's always good to see something that is junk turned into something cool. I love seeing these old cars saved.

I took advantage of a surprise day off work and went to my LHS. They had two of the three kits I was looking for. They will order the other for me if I want, but there's never a shortage of kits I want on the shelf, so I picked a different one. 20220215_124721.jpg.0d2714cdbf33c3056884e0d67943fea8.jpg20220215_124606.thumb.jpg.237e4c52b2de1ee2323d3e389fbdcdf4.jpg

I took a few pictures to show some of what I had to choose from. 20220215_120525.thumb.jpg.dd1ade830900912845a1bff6c234727f.jpg20220215_120508.thumb.jpg.253c359d1c2696de255a4b5b3bdd1b1a.jpg20220215_120447.thumb.jpg.8f063f5fe721a9da93a1967a504c254f.jpg

Looks like Colonial! I haven't been there in a while, need to hit them up soon. Be a good excuse to go look at camera gear too.
