Ulf Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 North West Short Lines the Chopper II. Cost as 1.5-2 kit type Round2 but earned back on reduced waste Plasticard.It is not childproof, but in most ways safer than the #11 or loose razor blade. Highly recommended. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Eh? Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I responded to another Kijiji ad! LOL. It was entitled “Airbrush Complete and Parts”. There was only a single, somewhat out of focus photo. It showed a plastic basket with some airbrush items in it: an Iwata-Medea name on a replacement parts package as well as the name Thayer and Chandler. These caught my attention enough to respond to this four-day old ad. My attached pics show what was actually included. I think that I did well with this purchase! All I know about the last pic is that these are Rapidograph components. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scratchbuilt forks would look interesting on the LA Street chopper. Defiantly gonna be using those drag bars. I almost bid on that. It's very cool but I'm...over extended, both financially and kit wise. I took an inventory and found I have 36 1/8 or 1/6 bikes. 😕 Congrats on your win, and definitely post pics when you get going on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightliner59 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I got this circle punch, today. Works great! It punched a nice, clean disc from annealed aluminum sheet. I love me some tools! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing you need to do is get the one TC out of the red foam in the plastic case. The foam is deteriorating and it will mar the finish on the brush, if it hasn't already. Toss the foam and replace it with something. Or at least put a barrier sheet of Saran wrap down first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightliner59 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I just scored this at auction, for under $25, shipped! I ran across it, and couldn't help myself. It's from right about the time I began modeling. I had a BRE version of this, when it came out. It's a beautiful little kit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PierreR89 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Got this My plan is to use it for when I start to build the bttf deloreans( i have 2 for each movie) and get to the final scene before the delorean is destroyed. I know it is not the correct locomotive but it is the only one avalible in 1/25 scale i know of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI at work. Having worked in the parts biz for 40 years, that is exactly what happened. And happens all the time, from OE to aftermarket, and the same happens with our little hobby when Revell or Round2 reissues a kit, they assign a new kit number with the same basic kit inside.

Sure beats that "hot knife" setup I bought in the 70's that basically melted the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are those Salvino kits, any better than their earlier attempts? I remember you being critical of the first kits they did and wonder if they have improved them enough for you to buy them now? Are you doing reviews of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NextGen cars are pretty decent, the effect of getting all the CAD data directly from NASCAR and the manufacturers. The older stuff is still a bit more...stylized, and the universal fit chassis and all its foibles still exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to be well made, looking forward to putting to work. Should be the last one I need to acquire. Best investment you made all year! As you said, you buy good tools only once! I have the 24" version and love it. I kick myself for not buying it years earlier! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Local IPMS meet yesterday...one vendor apparently had difficulty selling kits in the recent past so he split them into parts like so many eBay sellers are doing. I found a number of items that a lot of people used to buy complete kits for: Moebius Ford pickup "big six" engine, Revell '70 Roadrunner "cop car" optional wheels, a couple of sets of Revell Dodge Charger front suspension parts that will "fill the empty space" on a couple of MPC Coronets, couple of sets of Revell tires made before they scrubbed the lettering off everything. Also found a built Jo-Han early Hornet funny car, and a couple of other kits that will go on the NNL East sale pile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very pleased with its operation thus far. It does a great job of moving fumes (not a hint of paint odor in the shop). I will be using it a whole lot more in the near future as I am really backed up on my paint work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Ok. I saw the name Yukon and thought it was the brand name. No wonder my search was confusing, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
