Mail Call today this will go with the Bandai 1/16 Steam Roller ,good buy off E Bay , Enjoy 

That's pretty cool.. I live next to a historical farm Museum that has multiple events throughout the year. In the beginning of September the have the steam and small gas engine show. All week long at high noon all the steam whistle blow.. Very cool. I have a 1950 M series John Deere that I just inherited and have no use for so I'll probably look for a buyer at that show..

i think thats the first tractor i've seen with hubcaps still on. on this side of the pond we just didn't use them abd if they were fitted  the farm cats and dogs got a new feed bowl.

Some BMF from Amazon.  They shipped it in one of those bubble envelopes ?

I went the nearest hobby shop to my home for some Tamiya paint.  Got the paint and a Revell 69 GTO kit.  Also picked up a few jars of Model Master paint for $1.50 each.

Also decided to check the Local Michaels since it is near that hobby shop.  All they had in the kit section was a couple of Revell pirate ship kits.

I know what you mean, I just got an orbital sander yesterday packaged the same way, and looks as bad! To add, the Amazon facility is literally 5-7 minutes from my house.

I've been wanting a set of WW collets for my lathe. I came across this deal on Ebay. Sherline sells the collet set for $106, as I recall. For $100, I got the collets set, and 20 assorted end mills, a set of Sherline center drills, a 3/32" chucking reamer, and a couple of other specialty bits! I couldn't pass it up!

Got a new airbrush the other day....Badger Patriot 105. Picked up a Polar Lights Hot Wheels Dodge at Ollie's yesterday.

I had a Bayer send me a 1950 Ford convertible kit in a bubble mailer. Luckily nothing was damaged and with that kit the windshield fram has to be added during assembly. I guess once you pay they don't care afterwards.

If you're talking about the AMT '50 Ford convertible kit, the reason for the windshield done the way it is in this kit is that there is or was several different roof options when this kit was new. #1 was a stock height convertible windshield and soft top up or down. #2 Was a chopped top convertible with a half top option. #3 This was also offered with a stock height roof and the Victoria Hard Top with no B pillar.

Won these on an on-line auction, picked them up today. All the kits are sealed except for the '56 Chevrolet and it is a complete kit.
