Picked up the kits at a local Ollie’s yesterday and when I got home I had a huge order of 3D resin from Iceman Collections waiting for me.

My wife claimed the Ranchero, I remember building that one as a kid. It's open, but complete and for 5 bucks I'm not complaining.

I just saw that Bugatti at an antique store today. I passed because I wasn't sure of it

Posted (edited)

My wife was looking for "whatever" today and dragged me out to several antique stores out in the middle of no place. I did see some cool stuff there and some kits but this one caught my eye. I know it's nothing special but I think I can make something cool out of it and it was cheap, like crazy cheap. It's sealed from the factory still which is a big bonus.

We made a stop at Ollies..... well, ya know how that turns out sometimes.

I'm looking to build something outside of what I normally would, and that and the chrysler were 5 bucks. So why not.

I'd have been in on them also. I almost bought a JoHan Mercedes today but passed. It was $10

That large scale ‘57 ‘Bird is pretty nice to build; got mine for 9 bucks at Hobby Lobby after it went on sale because it was in that store for many years because I always remember it was pretty expensive.

For $10. I don't think I could pass it up, even if I wasn't gonna build it.

She's built a few, no complaints with my models or the motorcycles, she rides her own. She's got serious skills in her own hobbies, anything crafting/sewing. Couldn't ask for a better "other half".

i wish my local walmart had kits at the moment i would get one of those country charger kits 

Mine has a lot of these but they've just been sitting there. I guess everyone is waiting for them to be placed in the  clearance Isle. Not me. I don't need anymore. I'm trying to sell most of my kits off.

Out with the old n in with the new. Got this today at harbor freight. Actually shocked me how quiet it is, and impressed at 1 min & 23 secs of continuous air @ 20PSI.  I’m hoping the kobalt trap will work good. If there is a better way to set this up please let me know. Should I keep the trap straight like this? Or remove the extra coupling, and let it sit at a slight angle behind the tank? Angle isn’t that bad to where it’ll affect the trap.

The closer your moisture trap is to the actual airbrush, the better.
