What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[Mike C.]

My Jimmy Glue bomb came early. I checked and everything is there. Now I think I'll start by soaking it in simple green and water overnight and go from there.

A Moebius 64 Nova, Sand Kat and a Chrysler Copperhead promo that LHS had for $5.00 (They had three of them)

[Exotics_Builder]

Just my Moebius 64 Chevy Nova and did a quick compare to the AMT 62.  They compare well, so I can use parts from either.

Stopped into the Detroit Auto Rama today. After walking around for almost 10 hours  I came out with a couple of prints for the wall and 4 kits. The new stock Nova from Moebius,  reissue AMT Nova wagon, reissue  S10  and the 30 Ford coupe,

got my Vette and Cobra survivors today. I wanted the Custom vette, but the drag vettes are cool too. Silver one has a hemi amd webers, red 9ne has a blower motor and tilt front end.. the Cobra has halibrands.

 

all I've done so far is wash the custom vette and replace the tires with AMT parts pack twin pins

 I have a set of unmelted wheels on the way as well. the goal is to preserve the build exactly how it is

 

 

That's a cool old survivor! I'm very interested to see what you do with it. Model on!

Almost 15K steps for me in there yesterday. Bought the gasser even though I have one on order and when I got home the one from Model Roundup was on the porch.  Also picked up a Johan AMC Rebel machine. That was a bucket list kit for me.

I did a wheel and tire swap but thats probably gonna be it for the foreseeable future. Im honestly enjoying just having it. I would like to polish the paint to bring some shine back. I tagged you in my 62 Fairlane Im messing with

Thanks!

My ebay score arrived today. I have a project in  mind for the Prowler trailer, since I'm enjoying the '55 Cameo build I couldn't resist the price for another, and I took advantage of a great offer along with combined shipping to snag the Corvette.

[keyser]

Does that later issue Cameo have the corrected cab windowsill? 
Original 55 had rear sloping sill. 57 Stepsides had correct cab but unsure of stockers. 
Nice haul. 

[mchook]

Got this in the mail today

[mikemodeler]

I ordered the new 70 Chevy pickup grille from Iceman, compared to an old resin copy that I bought probably 15-20 years ago there's no comparison.

The first one is it 3d printed

[Little Timmy]

Got this yesterday, from of all places, wal-mart. $24.95

My Walmart never had models before, so I was "shocked" to see them there. Had my wife not been with me, I would have bought all four that were there !

There is only one cab, so once it was corrected all kits produced after that will have the corrected one.
