The70judgeman Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Had a 40% off coupon for Micheal's, so I got the AMT '66 Olds Cutlass 442...$13 and change. Wish they had a better selection. But, you know how that goes...wish in one hand, and........... Also noticed that the front driver side tire on the Dodge had a gouge in the sidewall down to the cords. So, being that the tires were about worn out anyway, I had a new set of BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A's put on. Had them on another truck before and was pretty happy with them...bring on the snow. Next...a complete brake job...before it snows of course. Sitting for around 11 months took its toll on them. Guess I was lucky to get the truck home with no trouble.Forgot, I sanded down some rusty areas and repainted the back bumper, the metal part of course, before it rusted through.

Fat Brian Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 It was payday today so I hit the 'bay and picked up a few things. I got a Mack Cruiseliner, paid for a IH 4070A I had won, got a Revell W900, and the Moebius 53' trailer. It will look like Christmas morning on my porch in a day or three.
ChrisR Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Finally got a Modellers Ford RS200 to add to my other Group B rally cars.

The70judgeman Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Went to one of my LHS's today. They recently bought a collection of newer and vintage kits and are slowly putting them out on the shelves. The GMC Syclone was just put out and of course I snatched it up. I also picked up "The Weathering Magazine" Issue 1 that they also just got in. Paid a little more than the cover price, because that's what they paid for each...they're sold out. But, I didn't pay what they were asking. I happened to notice their mistake by not covering up the cover price with their price sticker. So the owner cut their price for me, but I bet all the other magazines are fixed now.
ChrisR Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Oh Sweet Man !! What's the scale ? 1/43 ? 1/24 ? F 1/24 scale.

Droppedgmc Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 got these 2 kits. scored the monte with a 50% off at Michaels for 6.00
Harry P. Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Hey Harry----!!! Is this officially the longest runing thread yet??? Not sure... but if there's one that's been running longer I'd be very surprised!
hooterville75 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Steve B, did you get to two drag car kits off evilbay ?
Jdurg Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Don't have any photos and this may not be modeling related, but in the mail I got the two electronic mouse traps I had been looking for. I've had a mouse infestation for a few weeks now, and these little buggers have been taking the bait from my traps and running off without setting them off. So I got these electronic traps that are supposed to electrocute the mice. Well, I went out for dinner and when I got back the two traps had both captured a mouse. I got the little buggers! FINALLY! I am so happy that I finally nabbed these two creatures. I know there's more, but I'm now up to 5 in my recent catch numbers. It has taken some time, but no longer am I being awoken by a mouse running through the walls, or running right out in front of me while watching TV. YES! Sorry I'm so happy, but these things have evaded me for some time and I FINALLY got them!
Psychographic Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 From a local flea market. I haven't checked, but they're all supposed to be complete.
Casey Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 From a local flea market. I haven't checked, but they're all supposed to be complete. I think we have a new leader in the "best score" category. They look to be mostly '60s vintage, too. Love that '56 Ford pickup original box art.
Casey Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Got these from a great friend : I see a 1/25 scale Maxivan in my future.
