I don't think so, Matt had said that he wuz done at the end of 2024. The website is still up but you can't put anything in yer cart. I suppose you could contact him directly to see what stuff he's still got that he might be willing to deal on...doesn't hurt to ask.

Wow! That’s too bad. I’ve been looking for just such decals. They look ideal!

My favourite styling for the Firebird. Going to build this as white with blue transfers.

I would like to find some better (stock) wheels and tyres though - does anyone have any suggestions??

Got this gifted to me by a coworker yesterday. Brand new still in the package. Should be a better quality than the $7 one I got at harbor freight a couple years ago. 
 

Will be great for measuring styrene and those tiny micro drill bits.

In the previous post I mentioned being too lazy to take these photos, but I eventually overcame my procrastination.

Shunko sheets are for the Tamiya Pajero Dakar kit. The others are all from Reji Model- The Audi is one sheet that builds either the '18 or '19 car. Another random sheet for the Belkits 6R4 and Bastos sheet for the Ascona. And the "logo sheets" for the 555s on Hasegawa Subarus and the Rothmans logos for the Ascona kit.

A belated Christmas post. I saw a few of you show these type of kits. I think my family heard me crying about not be able to paint outside in the winter. Any insights on wood models? The large Chevy box is a Kg+.image.thumb.jpeg.999297fec5dca89272a1ed169cbe304c.jpeg

I've never seen wooden kits such as the ones you have but they look very nice. The ones I've built in the past range from simple to a bit more difficult and usually require white glue. I've enjoyed them for something different even though they are not plastic models and just like you, I'm not able to paint outside in the winter so these type of kits keep me busy. Enjoy.

My first kit arrival from Amazon this year. It had free shipping and was still HS Tax free. This time it was shipped in a paper envelope. I lucked out in that there was only a minor crease in the box lid.

First kit I built when I got into the hobby.  Unfortunately my son damaged it, but it’s a nice little kit though.

Will be interesting to see one of these recreated as a Beaumont especially since I don't ever recall seeing one as a scale version.

Wrebbit 1/10 scale Mercedes 500K paperboard kit. I was a little leary of this one at first (it was a gift). The instructions are 200 pages and structural pieces like the frame rails are multi-layered for strength. Kind of impressed with the engineering. :)

This came by post today, for a particular project having seen one on TV programme Shed and Buried (I think!)

To emulate this E-Type Rat Rod  which is in fact a BMW M5 under the body!

Got a 2nd one this week.

 

This kit is getting pricey.  

Just have to be patient for the right deal to come along.

Nice, it has the Landy figure. All the ones I bought off the 'bay they were mia.

My 1st one I bought a few weeks ago the figure is MIA. 

To be brutally honest, Im not sure I really care 

 

One of these will be a Charlie Allen silver and blue SS/E car. Im not sure if this 2nd one will be a Landy car.....or something else 

 

I have a Landy SS/A dart in the case already, And the 68 Charger + 65 AFX car.  My plan is build the 68 and maybe the 69 Coronets later  ( I have kits to do both )

Bought and arrived today:  AMT 1/24 Ford 9000 LTL from a hobby shop that sell's on ebay. Total cost with shipping/tax was $64.33.. About $30.00 cheaper than the Hobby shop has them for in Fort Wayne Indiana!
