:D hi to all of you masters, newies, and forthcoming builders hahaha. just wanna share what I got today but as a beginner I think I should share some info so you can get an idea about me guys. Well as some of you know from my one of my first threads I recently got my first kit. which I mess up for my not having enough info on modeling and building. so i set my self to gather enough knowledge as to start putting together a kit. Besides that I'm in need of tools to do my builds. So far I got assorted sandpapers,knives, some blades, my tamiya glue, and a couple of paint cans. Sorry I made a big post just to share that today I got what is my first shipment of tools (saw blade and my tamiya paint stand) and also my second kit (Hummer H2) which I hope not to screw LOL. Keep on creating plastic lovers.

Come on George - you know the unwritten rule - if there's no pics, it didn't happen.

Here's a couple I shot before I mailed it out the other day:

I don't normally care for resin kits but this one is really nicely done . Does anybody make decals for the sides and tailgate ?

The bike is cool but the camper in the background might be a bit heavy for it to pull around.LOL

Does this mean that you attend the pedal bike show in Ann Arbor this Sunday ? I hear it is a good show and they have Mini Bikes this year. Never been myself but I do have the flyer.

The Titanium Nitride coated hing pins I ordered for my Tamiya 1/10 Mini Cooper finally came in, so now I can start to rebuild the trans and suspension. I also went and picked up the plates for my 200 too!

Went to a 1:1 car show/swap meet today and made a couple purchases from the Model King himself!

Very nice guy to talk to, i asked about any upcoming mopar kits he told me that he has a 65 Plymouth Belvedere in the works and that he also wants to do a 71 Dodge Demon! Which personally i would love to see that happen!

He was very reasonably priced with his kits and i got a great deal on the decals!

Actually, it still runs. Just needs to be stripped down and painted, new tires, tubes and brakes. It was my grandfather's and it's been buried in the shed for the last 20 yrs or so.
