The70judgeman Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 @Nick- I could go to Steinhafels. My brother-in-law works there and I can use his employee discount. That's what I did for the recliner I bought. It's a $450 recliner I got a couple of years ago for $280 delivered and set-up by him. By "set-up" I mean it has heat, massage(upper and lower), and power recline. But anyway, I don't think I need something that nice just to display models in. Although, it would be nice...probably too nice. "Scratch and Dent" might work too. I'll have to go check it out.
Tom Geiger Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Apparently I got a new title! Instead of being an MCM Ohana, I'm now Prince of Valiants. I guess that makes me royalty! Thanks guys! So I changed my avatar to match...
jbwelda Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 shipment from hobby link japan came in, G Reddy Rocket Bunny Toyota 86 (et al), 1/18 scale Tamiya Subaru R-2 SS and some super wide slicks on 15" deep recess old skool wheels. unfortunately fujimi who makes the wheels no longer includes all the disc brake parts but the tires are nice soft and smooth. anyone else notice how MASSIVE this rocket bunny Toyota box is? at least a third bigger than the 1/18 scale Tamiya box! oh yeah and a glue bomb-y but unpainted uncertain t missing a couple of parts, ebay find and not bad once I cleaned it up a bit...got the spare parts already and will just put them on and display as is:
jbwelda Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 didn't notice until right now looking at that pic of the uncertain t: still has the little plastic nubs that should have been trimmed off on each injector stack. duh. jb
Tom Geiger Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I almost forgot that this one showed up in my broken mailbox! Got it for $15 on eBay, and I want to turn it into my sister-in-law's old car. Add lime green paint, black interior, NJ plates and some well placed stickers... I did buy the kit for this project for my own shelf, but once we got talking about her first car and she had such fond memories, I wanna give it to her... so the promo is probably best for a gift to a non-model person. Mary got a brand new car Mary got the one she was savin' for Now everyone here is so charged Mary never looked so good before And we wanna go where she goes We wanna listen to her radio Can we ride? Mary can we ride? Can we ride? Mary can we ride? Edited February 10, 2014 by Tom Geiger
maltsr Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Finally got one of my Holy Grails. Not in the best condition, but hopefully salvageable. Only came with three original wheels/tyres (free to anyone who asks), but I already had different rolling stock planned....
om617 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Some paint ,decal setting,and Cadillac`s. The 68 is incomplete,missing bumpers and glass,it will need pretty much everything from paint to tires,but got it cheap. The 64 is in nice condition,it needs an engine,little polish and some BMF to get to it`s former glory.
cobraman Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 These both showed up a bit ago. Plan is to build a small diorama of a guy building a Factory Five Cobra in his garage. Car will be only partially built with the engine still out. Need to try and find some 1/43 scale people. That's the plan anyway.
booboo60 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Got the Foose 68 400ci firebird the Revell kit, nice kit, great extra race parts, black mailed the wife, she had to go too the craft show about hour away, "yea, ill ride with ya. If we stop at hobby store..lol.
slusher Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Well here's my score from Crossville. I think I did pretty well. Nice score Austin. I am going to try to make it next year, my uncle lives in Crossville also...
Austin T Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 That would be excellent Carl. Maybe we could have a meet up with some other guys on the forum.
slusher Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 That would be excellent Carl. Maybe we could have a meet up with some other guys on the forum. I would really like that ..
lordairgtar Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I got my state and fed tax refunds today! Bought a new coat as my old coat no longer zipped up and I was tired of being cold. MOdel shop excursion tomorrow....YAY me!
Bennyg Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Monogram ac mack bulldog tank truck, ultra bright chrome BMF. Also ordered a zvezda 1/43 mack from cars. I like Mack trucks in case you didn't notice. The only model of a mack I've never purchased is the premier 1907 mack which I keep an eye out for. That's my holy grail. Ben
disabled modeler Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Those old Monogram Macks are cool....I built the all as a kid...think my favorite was the dump though.
ffreak Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I got my Aoshima Lambo Aventador from HLJ, and during shipping, the handlers weren't very kind to it !!!!
Joe Handley Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I got my Aoshima Lambo Aventador from HLJ, and during shipping, the handlers weren't very kind to it !!!! Sounds like a typical UPS/FedEx job, only way to ensure thst a box won't get crunched is to either not put a "Fragile" label on it, or put a LiPo battery fire warning label on it......
Fabrux Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Went to the local chain thrift store last night and picked up an internally sealed Revell 2010 Camaro SS kit for $7! Only had the mangled box top but all the bags are still sealed.
jrherald420 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Todays haul. Ebay got me again, not too bad though. Only 64.00 shipped for the 4. Sadly i was only after the truck kits. Everything is 100% complete and all bags are still sealed, decals are mint and not yellowed at all. Untitled by jrherald420, on Flickr Edited February 13, 2014 by jrherald420
Austin T Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I'm digging the weird splatter paint job on the Camino. You should build it like that and Photoshop it onto an old street rodder magazine cover.
jrherald420 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Its a decal and they are in great shape. It comes with a Caddy engine and a chevy engine. Not my style but kinda funky. It will be going in the sell box.
Scuderia Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I'm getting things in order for springtime building, from an online re-seller and one via coupon locally. Nothing too-special.
Scuderia Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Mustangs, no shocker there lol I know right, I went to put them on the stash and realized i have the GTH kit too. I forgot I even had it lol.
Danno Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Got mine last night! At least . . . the first one.
