CA Whitecloud Posted February 21 Posted February 21 If I'm going to pay $6 S/H on a $7 purchase (some PE thingy), I may as well throw in a couple kits for a nominal shipping increase to make it worth while...Right? 7

LOL Baja Bug conversion kit with exhaust, Jackman wheels, and tires are from Texas 3D Bronco Roadster door inserts, and mirrors are from Iceman Collections Baja Bronco, and dually wheels, off-road tires are from EBAY This is my 5th time ordering from Iceman. His stuff is outstanding. My first with Texas 3D. I would have to say the same. Outstanding. Texas 3D makes a great Baja trans kit. 6

64SS350 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Got these this week. 69 Camaro widebody kit and a 2015 Mustang snap kit for parts or replication, to fit the Flintstone van. 1
RSchnell Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Normally Saturday is my sleep in day, but for some reason I woke up early. Figured might as well go have breakfast and hit up a couple "antique shops" that I haven't been to in a while. Glad I did! The Arcade Chevrolet will go nicely in my small but growing cast iron car collection. The Hubley Vic & Model A pickup kit came from the same store. There was a Hobby Lobby about 6 blocks away- why not pop in there too. It is 40% off week after all. As I was checking the cashier at HL says "looks like you got your work cut out there" I told her "you don't know the half of it, I've got more kits that what y'all have on the shelf back there" 3

Carl, I came home from the hospital as a newborn in a 64 Galaxie 2 door ht, my second car was a 64 Galaxie 2 door ht, and my 4th car was a 64 Galaxie 2 door ht. I have a soft spot for them..... and a 64 convertible kit that needs parts. I think I have a total of 7 of these Drag Combo's! 2

OldNYJim Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Stopped by Hobby Lobby this weekend - they have a new (to me…) knock-off of the Tamiya paint stand, so I picked up one of those to try out (‘40 Ford Survivor for scale): It’s a little taller than the Tamiya stand but otherwise similar. Cheap feel, will do the job it’s intended for though… Picked up one of these also: And today Walmart had some kits over by the Hot Wheels: …and the Boss Nova followed me home: Wish I’d grabbed the Monte Carlo too now… 2

Looks like they went back to the original box art from 1969. I didn't recollect another reissue, but I have one in the stash, so not much interest 1

The Millennium issue didn't have that. 1

I bought one of these decal squeegees on a whim when making a large order with HLJ. I actually expected it to be kind of pointless, but it has proven to be a real gem. I was struggling with all of the thin pinstripe decals on a JPS Europa when I remembered this thing lurking in my tool box. It really saved the day, and earned it's keep immediately. It comes out now anytime I am applying a decal larger than a contingency sticker.

Are they the full detail or curbside? Haven’t fully checked them out, but think both have the engine. I know the coupe even has the engine stand to display separately if you want. For the trunk detail you have to cut the hood out, to be able to see spare tire etc. The Carrera is suppose to be the enthusiast line just a different box art as well. EDIT: just looked at both, and there both the enthusiast versions. Both have engines while the coupe versions comes with a display stand as well. Little flashy on both kits, but nicely detailed.
