Marty then you would have scooped up cars I wanted Thanks Brandon and Blake. Hey Blake I love that little cordless Dremel I have used it (Toby has one) for opening wheel wells, I opened my Eclipse with it, drilled out distributers, firewalls, and used it sanding. Cordless is handy. I recommend it as well as going to Ace hardware. They have a huge Ace brand pack for $21 that has all but the actual small saw blades for opening cars up and Ace has those too. The organizer for my brushes is another Wal-Mart special. Its an ice cube mold for a couple bucks that holds my brushes, knifes, glue, bondo, detail wire, sharpie, tree snips. It's awesome and better than when I used foam.

I like the ice cube that Brian got me. It realy comes in handy for all your tools that you use on your workbench.

[Blake Rogers]

well Brian and toby thats cool!!! i always have had a eye for using house hold items for modeling but you beat me on this one. we don't have a ace hardware up here we have other store's like that and they do have sets like that as well thanks for the info so what size battery's does it take ? does it lose any power once you go to cut something?

James they are some nice looking wheels.I don't think I've seen them before. Where are they from?

[Blake Rogers]

nice CAL did it cost you a bit?

[JamesW]

It's just a set they sell for repairing diecast, 1/18 I think.

[CAL]

nice CAL did it cost you a bit?

It's just a little junky Central Machine. It was $60, but it works okay.

I'll get are real 4" with a divider plate, which are about $200.

[lowriderphil]

I picked up the January issue of MCM

Happy BDay!

I opened it up and the tank itself looks pretty simple and basic. I have not looked through the bags yet but there is not many trees. The case is huge. I'll take some more pictures of it when I get home from work sunday. ......... Blake, The cordless has it's own battery pack and charger. I've really put it to some tests with the saw blade. It will bog down a bit if you force it but the run time is pretty good. Like I said that one is at Walmart and for cordless you can't beat it. Even though Toby has one and I have one now, I want one more just to have a spare battery but really now that we have our own it lasts longer cause I use mine for major body work

[Joe Nunes]

The AMT '62 Buick and the January MCM. Oh....and some R/C model airplane stuff...;^)

[Blake Rogers]

[David G.]

Hey Everybody!

Yesterday I received the model car junk yard that I won on ebay last week. I'm in hog heaven... if hogs do go to heaven, then I don't feel so bad about having eaten all that bacon over the years!

There are about twenty frames/chassis and nearly a dozen partial builds. Of course there's all of that wonderful debris that sifts down to the bottom of such a pile! Motors, wheels, carburetors, seats... it'll take me weeks to sort through it all! Insatnt parts box!!!!!

These are the ebay pictures posted by the seller. I hope they won't mind.

My day is planned!

[crazyjim]

Looks to me like a ton of fun to go through all that stuff.

[Railfreak78]

David If your not going to do anything with that white 2 door plymouth with police on the trunk let me know I need the glass and also let me know if you want to work out a deal on the blue Nova with 37 on the trunk. Thanks and nice haul!

[crazyjim]

Well, if we're going to start that stuff, I kinda like that turtle deck T and what looks like a Bantam body.

[Old Buckaroo]

David - That is a nice haul. A big box of parts and kits like that given to me is what got me into the hobby 35 some years ago.

I still like finding "Lots" like that and restoring /rebuilding the contents.
