A modeler named mike Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Recent mailman deliveries. Two for me and the Bugatti for my 13 yr old grandson. I've been hoping he'll catch the model building bug for some time now. Hard to compete with electronics...😒 he likes cars..lol so there's still hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Back to my 57 Ford kick .. got these three pieces at Liars Show. I don’t know who did the resin. It’s not Modelhaus quality. I was thinking maybe All American but he sold a full kit and this is just a body as you see it. Funny thing, as we drove to the show my friend Bill and I were talking about how few kits we purchase these days. I remembered the days when I’d have bags full of stuff! Then at the show we saw a younger guy carrying a bunch of bags. Bill said, “There you are!” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he likes Legos. It just might get him into auto models. Edited November 23, 2023 by ewetwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this type of kit will bring more new builders to the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow they pretty nice when built. Did you polish the bodies or is that their natural Sheen? and thank you for sharing your builds Dave..

ewetwo Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 They are pretty shiny. But I did put a coat of Pledge "Revive It" on them. Makes the color pop just a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullybeef Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Pretty stoked on this, my friend got himself a pretty large pla 3D printer and he asked if there was anything model related he could print for me, i mentioned a desk organizer he asked for some measurements and bam. Holds all my brushes, sanding sticks, files, glues and thinners all in one convenient place. And it goes well with my paint caddy/drawer liner haha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSchnell Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Passed by Ollie's in my travels, nothing new but snagged these two. Figure these will make good weekender kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Another one of my holy racecar grails: the 1969 Nürburgring 1000 km Jo Bonnier/Herbert Müller Lola T70 Mk IIIB. I know this is a slotracer, but it has a near perfect body and will be turned into a static display model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modeler named mike Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 The past couple of days these two kit purchases showed up in the mail. The Firebird kit reminds me of a firebird redneck style, sorta like AMT Yankee Challenge kit. As for the Eldon. I had built one when they came out in '69. All I have left of that build is the engine with its golden pipes, the toilet seat and one tub that I cut and used as rubbish in a display scene which I named Garbeach for the garbage truck.
