disabled modeler Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Andy buddy...Id pay it if I could afford too...LOL...long as the wife did not know...I never hide anything form her anyway...maybe Ill get lucky sometime?...LOL...
Twokidsnosleep Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I don't hide anything I buy from my wife......I just don't voluntarily reveal the purchases until she catches up with meDeleting PayPal receipt e-mail notifications on our shared address is purely innocent and really just housekeepingGot a Williams FW07 1/20 Tamiya this morning from Australia...been looking for a while
The70judgeman Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Andy buddy...Id pay it if I could afford too...LOL...long as the wife did not know...I never hide anything form her anyway...maybe Ill get lucky sometime?...LOL... I don't hide this stuff from my wife either. She was sitting not even 10ft away from me when I opened the FB package the other day. She'll even ask if I'm expecting any packages in the mail for the week so she'll keep an eye out for them or listen for a knock at the door. But like I said before I don't/won't pay the overly inflated prices for most of the promos out there. I actually haven't paid more than $50(less the shipping) for any of the promos I have. Right timing and lucky I guess.
aurfalien Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Well... I'm hiding and very afraid I do it like this; 1 for me, 2 for you etc... She seems fine.
disabled modeler Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 WOW...50.oo or less for that kind of stuff...not bad for the right ones. Nice thing about promos is you can get a scale replica in plastic that otherwise is not possible the kit companies just did not do them...too bad. I have been after a kit or promo of a 75 Firebird to make a replica of my old 75 TA I once owned and a few others...cars the family owned over the years.
om617 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 69 Cadillac resin Very nice,even looks to have open hood. Who makes this?
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Revell '65 Chevy Stepside pickup (40% off) to use as a donor for my old gluebomb-salvage AMT '60 cab. I know the chassis isn't exactly correct, but it would work in 1:1, and that's all right with me. Snagged the recent R2 '36 Ford release for $14.99 on the clearance table too. Really want to do a comparo between it and the original and re-release versions I have on the shelves. Interested particularly in the re-tooled (supposedly) chopped top. Pix of the chrome-reversed rims look good...we'll see... ...and several sheets of .005" red, blue, green and amber clear plastic sheet. Some gassers in the pipeline. Had to be over by Hobby Lobby anyway, so I bought these as a delayed-gratification reward to myself if i clean up the model bench, AFTER I clean up the big-car shop today.

It's near mint to mint condition(seller claims a 10 out of 10) AND it comes with the original box. From the pictures it is scratch free and very shiny with very good intact shiny chrome. I went over my(sort of) $50 limit, but not by much and worth it to me. So, that makes 5 of the '70 GTO's. I'll post a pic when it gets here.
cobraman Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Picked up these two kits at Hobby Lobby today.
disabled modeler Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Andy....NICE!...my brother owned a 70 GTO red/red at the same time when I had my 75 TA.
Tom Geiger Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 I don't hide anything I buy from my wife.... Me either. She is used to what I do by now! She'll bring in the mail and sarcastically call me, "Presents! Come get presents!" I haven't bought much for models lately, but I got interested in my old stamp collection and specifically my New Jersey postmark collection I started as a kid. So I've been buying them on the 'bay! And it's not a lot of money, but a sprinkling of Paypal purchases over weeks for $1.50, $3.00, $8.00 etc... you get the idea of the spend. One or two every other day... sooo, I get notice from my bank that they've shut down my checking account due to an unusual spend pattern! I had to call them to explain that yes, that was me! And what's good for the goose... a while back my wife came to me and asked how to sell things on eBay or Craig's List... she brings out a box filled with expensive pocket books... and she's wanting a lot of money for these things, that I swear I never saw before! Did I complain? Nope! I realized I had absolutely nothing to say about spending hobby money!
Tom Geiger Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Wow Ray! Round Two has been doing a great job with box art!
Snake45 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Monthly pilgrimage to Hobby Lobby yielded a Garlits Wynnscharger and Revell AD-5 Skyraider on sale deep discount (what these kits sold for on eBay just a few years ago!), and I used my 40% off coupon on an AMT TeeVee dune buggy I've been wanting for a while.

It's one of 3 years('68, '73, & '74) that is missing from my "1 of each year" collection...aside from the '04-'06 GTO's. Sorry I can't help you out. You can try and find the old Monogram kit, but unfortunately there are many incorrect parts to it. You can also try Modelhaus or other resin casters. I haven't gotten into casting...yet.
Lownslow Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Builds like a lego kit only 25$ this should be the standard of snaptites. i didnt use the decals since i plan on painting

BIGTRUCK Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Very nice,even looks to have open hood. Who makes this? Caddy does have an open hood, not sure who makes it I bought it 2ND hand, It does have Modelhaus quality.
Tom Geiger Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Caddy is from Morgan Automotive Detail. Hood appears fixed.http://www.madmodeling.com/store/ccp0-prodshow/69coupedeville.html

Tom Geiger Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 I'd guess R&R... if that's the right box in the background, that looks like Ray's handwriting!
Ron Hamilton Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) 69 Cadillac resin I believe that resin is from R&R based on the amount of cleanup needed, and the box in the other photograph. Promolite does one that looks every bit as good as the original JoHan kit, in that it is very clean, trimmed properly, and is pinhole free. I have a Promolite and a Original Unbuilt JoHan Annual in my collection, and I am quite happy with them. One of them is going to be a convertible, as the Promolite resin included a convertible boot. Edited August 17, 2015 by Ron Hamilton additional information
BIGTRUCK Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 I'd guess R&R... if that's the right box in the background, that looks like Ray's handwriting!Now thats possible , that is the box by it and it says 69 on one side and 70 on the other.
1930fordpickup Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 A Batmobile for my Great Nephew to put together for his cousins ( my Great Nieces) and a 49 Mercury for him to put together. Also went to Ollies and picked up some Dupli-Color paint for a buck a can. The perfectmatch cans.
