Scuderia Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 lol yea but its the GTO one so it's okay! Besides I have every stang i want now except the 79 pace car kit. i'm excited to see how that old school Celica will look.
martinfan5 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I know, just giving you a hard time, the GTO kits is nice, I it like too, I am thinking about getting one the Toyota AE86 kits
Scuderia Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Yeah the detail on those GTO racers is outta sight. But yeah an AE86 would be cool, haven't thought about that one yet.
martinfan5 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Yeah the detail on those GTO racers is outta sight. But yeah an AE86 would be cool, haven't thought about that one yet. If I am not mistaken , I think the AE86 is what the celica is here in the states, but I could be wrong. I see them all the time on non US model broads. I am going to look that up now Edited April 29, 2012 by martinfan5
Patrick2005 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 The AE86 was loosely a Corolla or Trueno in Japan I believe.
Casey Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 The AE86 was loosely a Corolla or Trueno in Japan I believe. And the Celica above is actually what we got stateside as a Supra L-type. No '82-'85 Celica injection molded plastic kit has been produced in bi-scale that I know of.

ZTony8 Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Yesterday at the D.A.A.M. show I bought the Revell K.S. Pittman Willys and 2010 Camaro glue kit,a Trumpeter Ranchero,2 Gibson engine kits,a set of Pegasus Helas,a couple of magazines,and a resin '62 Olds Starfire(yes,it's an R&R,but I got it cheap enough to be worth the risk). On the flip side-I sold all my Monogram NASCAR double kits,an AMT Funny Hugger 1,and a few more of my duplicate kits so I didn't even have to touch my cash reserve to buy what I did.Some days things just do work out favorably..............
ZTony8 Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Yeah,I guess i did.The show was well attended and the number of tables rented was up about 10% from last years spring show(The fall show has about 20% more tables than even this one does).My sales total was just under $300.I've done far worse in the past.
Scuderia Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Good to hear yeah. All the vendors i saw had lots of attention too, it was a good time.
martinfan5 Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 The replacement parts I needed for my Ferrari F43o kit came today from Revell
MyBradKeselowski Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I got a new little black baby kitten today from my local shelter named him Pepper. Just wished I had the energy that the little stinkerpot has...
zaina Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 this one showed up in the mail today got these a couple weeks ago
Jdurg Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I got the news from work that was inevitable but still pretty depressing. My last day of work will be July 25th. Oddly, they are keeping me on the payroll until September 25th, so basically even though I'm being terminated they are giving me 60 days of vacation with pay before cutting my paycheck. At that point, I'll receive my severance package. So in a sense, I'm going to be on vacation from July 25th until the end of the year if I so choose. So on the bright side, I do have plenty of time to find another job and am not under too much pressure to find a new one. Being on the payroll until the 25th is a good thing because it means I'll still have my medical benefits through the 25th of September and for 20 weeks after that. Still, it wasn't a good day at work. Then, after coming home and needing to drive around for miles until my car's E light was blinking due to my entire town being without electricity for some reason, I got frustrated and really pulled hard on my parking brake............ which resulted in the entire assembly ripping off. Ugggh. Using a flashlight to see and tools and some super strong epoxy, I was able to get it back together and get the brake to disengage. Still need to take the car in for work now and I don't think this will be cheap.

crazyjim Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 What a bummer! I was fortunate when the company "downsized" me because I had enough time and age to retire and collect a pension. Best of luck to you guys in finding new jobs.
cobraman Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I would also like to add my wish for good luck to you fellows.
The70judgeman Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Got all of these over the last month or so. Most from the local hobby store(s) and some from ebay. Really lucked out on the trucks price wise. About a 1/4 of what people want for each on those on ebay. Edited May 1, 2012 by The70judgeman

Still need to take the car in for work now and I don't think this will be cheap. theres way to much of that going on today it's scary,I work from day to day never noing if i go in and the doors will be locked i'm in the automotive brake pad industry we had one big company in town and was getting 60 hours a week trucking for them then they decided to move there canadian side of the bussiness to china, now we still work for there parent company in kentucky but hours have dropped down to 20 to 30 hours a week, it's just a matter of time before they to are gone, and the company i work for that does this work for them i have been with for 28 years and to know it can all be gone with no warning is pretty stressfull, theres no real way to prepare for it when you get over 50 not many places see you as employable and the ones that do expect you to take atleast a 10 to 12 dollar an hour cut in pay
wraith Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 All the best wishes to those looking for work! I am now in the same boat as you!
deja-view Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 So, Justin....You got a loooong vacation AND a broken handbrake as the cherry on top? Ouch! Daryl; It's the same principle of commerce everywhere: businesses can't carry the government on its back and still pay its workers and owners. Why can't we learn that lesson?
ChevyCoupe41 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I get today this Monogram (??) '66 Chevy Malibu gluebomb for my friend and it didnt pay anything. It needs lot of work but i think that its not impossible to restore it.
