I got me this 3d file, complete with interior and engine! Looks good overal, and will try to print it!

Edit:

And i already started on modifications, first of all chassi wise i continued on a earlier chassis i started. I am modeling in 1:1 and shrinking the parts. I see that i have clearance issuses with the back seat as it seams. 

nice.

[Mattilacken]

Also got a shipment of supplies and some 1/350 stuff. The PE tools were expensive as fudge!

No need to be stingy with the glue now!?

[NOBLNG]

Picked up a very tiny Tamiya paint brush from a local hobby shop, and the hobby knife from Princess Auto.

Delivered today. A promo car of what my wife drove when we first dated many moons ago. Hers was a 1980, same color exterior but with tan interior. With a little buffing and paint it'll be a decent rendition of her ride.

Last weekend I stopped by at a local Hobby Shop here in Finland to buy one Revell silver paint and Tamiya's Lacquer Thinner. Well, in addition to those, I had to have MPC's new '71 Dodge Demon as there was one of those on the shelf. I'm pretty sure I want to build it factory stock with the 340 engine.

 

Today I picked up a 1968 reissue of an AMT '57 Ford Fairlane. Couple of parts have been glued together and chassis has been painted, but otherwise it's complete and unstarted. I'm leaning towards either a Traditional Custom or a Gasser, but let's see which one I'll end up with when I start building.

Another package had a 3D printed model kit of a '73 Chevrolet Chevelle. I don't know who has made the file, but it was printed in Sweden. It's definitely one of the better 3D printed products that I've had, but of course it's still a lot of work before it's anywhere near primer or paint. Anyway, a really nice product and in my opinion, worth the money. I think I'll be using Revell's '67 Chevelle as a donor kit, to build a factory stock Chevelle SS with a big block.

Yes that is probobly true, i bought the same kit from him but with the Laguna front end. I ment who printed it since he bought it from Sweden i was thinking of our fellow member that sells allot on T(radera) Swedish E(Bay).

Yep, it came from GhostMan. Everything worked so well and the quality is pretty good so I don't think it's my last 3D printed kit, as they have some other interesting vehicles as well...

Especially the Wagon is cool, I will definitely need at least one of them. I just hope someone would do a 1974 conversion so I don't have to.

Thanks Carl.. I'm surprised at the high prices on some the chevette promos. I just got lucky. I'd still like to have a chevette model kit but they're getting a bit pricey too, but what isn't!! ?... Come to think of it I couldn't tell you when the last time was when I saw a chevette on the road.

The Chevette kit was reissued a few times in the 80s and I hope the molds are somewhere in storage waiting to be discovered. I built one of these in the 90s and remember it being a pretty nice model.

The ‘79 (‘Bear Bait’) was MPC’s last Chevette annual, pretty sure it has never been reissued.

A little church “store” where they were having a farmers market. Two dollars each and inside all still sealed!

Very nice score for that price !

[Rob Hall]

At the Plastic Unlimited show (Akron, Oh area) I got an MCW resin '70 El Camino kit and a few parts kits (Revell '76 Torinos, etc) for some future builds. 

[Ace-Garageguy]

More stuff that was too cheap to let slide...that I'll really try to get to by 2070.

The Mack trucks give me a complete set of the series, some of which are decent builtups.

One of 'em (I have a couple extras) will eventually be an AP Mack as used on the Hoover Dam project.

 

EDIT: And how cool is this?

Also...a Heller R8 Gordini, because I saw a nice build on this very board. I figger a better pair of carbs and a couple other upgrades is all she needs. Ferrin restaurant owner friendamine longtime back ran a couple Gordinis and a Porsche 911 as his dailys, and I did a lot of work on 'em.
