Darren B Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Four LEGO sets at 75% off each......It is models!! Or at least the raw material....... pretty cool, i like those...............
MGL Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Since I'm at sea I haven't actually recieved anything but I just put in an order from Model Roundup for a Monagram 40 Ford convertable (my Dads first car), a 41 Plymouth, a 54 Hudson, and 2 cans of testers rootbeer lacquer and 2 cans of fiery orange lacquer for a ford van project I plan to start when I get home. Last month I ordered 3 of the AMT Phantom vans to go with the one I already have. I am going to extend two of them to make 2 standard wheelbase vans like I had when I was younger. I also ordered flocking and some photo-etch detail parts. I'll make one more big order next month for all the new stuff moebius is coming out with and it will be like christmas when I get home. Of course I've never tried lacquer on a model before so I guess I should start researching what primers to use. and if anybody has a lead on an early 80's style ford van grill in resin it would be appreciated.
carcrazy19 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Got these the other day can't wait to get started on them. Especially the Hudson Hornet.
Quick GMC Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Acu Stion full detail set with PE, vacuformed windshield and turned intake stacks And my favorite, a paint shaker. With torn tendons and ligaments in my shoulder, I can't really shake bottles well anymore
landman Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Two shipments. From AITM , a Dodge to pull the Revell auto transporter I got the other day, A 50 ton winch and a set of big wheels for the B-7000, some gladhands. From Scenes Unlimited, steelies & winter tires for the jeep. My 1:1 had those, my models has chrome wheels & trackers. Clutches, flywheels etc for the dio and a Reese hitch for the Dodge dually.
Va_jones Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) I also got a Revell peterbilt 359 Edited June 12, 2015 by Va_jones

I have two of them and both are excellent pieces. All you need to turn it into a 1983-1991 grille is to add the Ford oval in the middle. It's not listed on his website so just email him directly. He also goes by "cargostar" on this forum.
om617 Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Got this today. Little tool for cutting tube and rod (also aluminium),a decent saw,cotton swabs from Tamiya. One 67 Plymouth Fury promo,64 Oldsmobile and 71 Pontiac Firebird. Also rechromed 61 Cadillac bumpers.
Olskoolrodder Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 AMT 1:25 (or is it 1:24?) White/Freightliner cabover from Hobby Lobby

Also where did you get the detail stuff for the Honda?
gluebomb Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I got a new job! Now I can make a halfway decent living!
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I got a new job! Now I can make a halfway decent living! Congratulations Gary! That's always the first step in being able to afford an increasingly expensive hobby! Steve
cobraman Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 This was delivered today. I'm thinking mild custom.
o-man Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Haven't been buying much since new job has a significant cut in pay. Was in Ollie's and ran across a special on Duplicolor; $.99 per can!
Quick GMC Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 That Porsche kit is pretty costly and hard to find. I have that shaker too, it's a nice addition! Also where did you get the detail stuff for the Honda? I saw the Porsche kit on ebay and offered a little under the asking price and he accepted right away. I paid $250 which is double what they used to go for, but the last one that sold on Ebay went for $400. I am very happy with the purchase. The detail parts I got from HLJ.com. They have a ton of stuff, I like to just type in the model kit I have in their search window and see what pops up. Acu Stion is nice stuff. I also have a super detail kit from Acu Stion for my Hasegawa 250 TR with turned wheels, windshiels, stacks etc. and last night I ordered a ton of stuff from BNA in Australia, including a super hard to find E.Jan (MFH) White metal transkit for my Tamiya Lotus Type 79. metal tub, tons of metal parts, turned wheels, etc. I only get to splurge about once a year and I am thoroughly enjoying it while it lasts. Instead of buying a bunch of Revell and Tamiya kits this time, I went for super detail sets and supplies.
Quick GMC Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Here are some pics of my Porsche kit in case anyone is wondering what is so great about it. It was a collaboration between Scale Motorsport and Tamiya in 2001. Limited production, long sold out, nearly impossible to find. Box is open, but everything else is still sealed. Tons of PE and a CD full of reference photos
Deathgoblin Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Got in an AMT Ford Capri II kit. Box is a little rough, but the kit is perfect and complete.
ChrisBcritter Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Big spender today - a buck seventy-five: Been watching these for months and finally got 'em. They're the custom wheelcovers from the old Monogram '55 Chevy kit, which just happen to be near-perfect copies of '61 Ford units in 1/24 scale - so I can use them on my 1/24 Hubley '61 Country Sedan and they won't be undersize.

Is it just me or do those look just like the Monogram '58 T-Bird wheel covers? They're 1/24th scale as well. Steve
ChrisBcritter Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Somewhat, but the grooves are deeper on the T-bird covers. I'm using a couple '58 T-Bird parts cars for tires (they fit the wheelcovers perfectly), drivetrain and front suspension bits.
niteowl7710 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I've gotten so much stuff since the last time I posted in this thread that I'd probably break it...so instead here's the goodies from the most recent HLJ shipment and a Belkits Skoda I picked up off eBay. Not shown several GT3 & Carbon Fiber decal sheets, and the P/E Detail Up Set for the Tamiya 300SL DSC02231 by James Duff, on Flickr Edited June 13, 2015 by niteowl7710
