Bought a Tyrrell P34 from my local hobby shop. I believe that Tamiya did the best works of this Tyrrell P34. Because they have a real one.

I have been tied up just figuring which of the 20 builds I have going I'll do next ... never mind BUYING ANOTHER KIT! You've all seen the box, so no photos needed .. the Revell '29 Ford Roadster. So many possibilities... what a great kit!  :)

Best part is, I didn't pay a penny for them!

Got 'em in a trade for a model that I was never going to use anyway!

I'm happy! ;)

I pre-ordered a Moebius '70 Ford F100,and ordered (will be shipped together when the F100 comes out,modelroundup.com ;) ) a Galaxy '48 Chevy SD kit along with it (I had that but hadn't got round to building it before it was lost in a house fir ein 2011,LOL,so when I saw they still had a few... :P )

A few sets of these decals, I got them for the Tamiya Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing, couldn't find them in stock over here, so I ordered them direct from Scale Motorsports,

Got an unbuilt Revell '64 small block engine for my AMT '63 Impala, and a big surprise:

65_nova_1.thumb.jpg.d827adf2613e9fb86007

AMT Craftsman series '65 Nova interior. With what any vintage Nova parts go for nowadays I'm surprised I was the only bidder. Years ago I started converting a Rat Packer back to stock using the remains of a ragged '62 Nova convertible for the rear quarters, chassis, engine compartment and interior, but the seats had glue all over them from someone's attempt at "upholstering" it - and the pattern was wrong anyhow. This will be a big help once I get the paint off.

Been in a bit of a modeling funk.  I do have plenty to work on, but since moving to a smaller place, I don't have a place for model desk. Several of the cars and trucks came from eBAY. The others and paint came from Ollie's. Got models even cheaper since they are included in 40% off toy sales which makes them less than $5 each.

Very cool! What do you use for an engine and/or chassis?

Probably a chassis from a Snap kit and a 12V71. Looks like there is enough room.

Just arrived direct from the Heller factory in French France...................

It may be in Matt Grey/Matt Green or another Matt finish, it also may have Centreline or Wire wheels. I haven't yet decided on the body decals but tyre decals definitely!

Finally got the Ventura,it is seriously stuffed with parts,and everything seem to be in excellent shape.

Since i had two of one old vintage junker i decided to part with one,and traded for 3 Novas.

Found a guy on Kijiji who was downsizing.

 

Picked up the 1/16th Fujimi Ferrari Testarossa Enthusiast Edition, and the 1/24 Tamiya Celica.

My first "big boy" kit.

I have yet to build a Trumpeter kit, but I have the Nova & the '60 Bonneville.

After seeing how the Bonneville kit looked, I kind of lost my faith in Trumpeter.

As far as I can see, the Nova looks like a pretty nice kit, but I haven't heard a lot about it & haven't really taken the time to check mine over really good.

I grabbed a couple kits from my local Ollie's since my sister in law gave me a gift card for Christmas.  Only got the F-150 Flareside and the Tennessee Police Crown Vic.  Mine never has much to choose from.  Never thought about the toy discount applying.  Where did you find the paints?  Were they back with the tools and other paint and stuff?  I never thought to look for that.

I got a pack of these silly things. I really only wanted the one with the girl with the surfboard because my daughter who lives in San Diego has just started to surf. I want to build it for her as her as a surprise. I was able to get all these for the same price as just the one with shipping costs. These were shipped free.
