What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[Mike999]

Great find, where in South Carolina are you located?

In Upstate SC, near Clemson University. If you're ever in the neighborhood, that Flea Market is in Pickens, SC. It's only held on Wednesday, which is sort of strange. Most people around here are working on Wed.  (I'm a retired geezer.)  I think they're also trying to open on Tuesdays as well. 

There's an even bigger flea market every weekend in Anderson, SC, called the Jockey Lot. It has been operating for probably 40 years. It's huge.

Three little Tobettes in the mailbox when I got home.

The Mako Shark snapper       is slated to become the XP87   

The '63 snapper         will donate its rear deck as part of an AM Grand Sport roadster conversion.    

The '67 427 roadster      will most likely end up something like this.  

All three for less than $15 each, including shipping.

   Now that's a Well bought trio!

   Now that's a Well bought trio!

What that dude said.  Gotta love a planner.

 

Today I got a couple of goodies too.....

#1 Airfix's McLaren P1

And cause its a little snapper I put it together in all of 5mins just to get a good look at it...

I'll disassemble it and attach some of the body parts together to try and make it a one or two piece body before primer and paint. But all in all, a very nicely detailed little kit. The wheels and tires will go in and be replaced with ones from the Motormax diecast which I just ordered. As well the interior is pretty weak, tho hard to see through the tinted glass, but that too will get robbed out of the Motormax diecast.

Also, just arrived, my second and not last purchase from Joesph of Fireball Modelworks. Another set of his beautiful KMC wheels, as well as a pair of spares for one build and just to get a look at them, a set of the Method wheels w/Goodyear rubber as well.

Lots of supplies to keep me building into the winter......I've been shopping far too much this year.......please, someone tackle me.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A recent acquisition. It's like it's frozen in time, perfectly preserved. The original sales receipt was still in the box; purchase 5/6/61 for $1.41! 

Great find,the box and uptop is a nice to have items.

Couple of days ago, picked up the new Revell '30 coupe, and also the Laurel and Hardy "T".  Just more stuff for the stash!

[thatz4u]

Got this one Tuesday, was happy to see a 302 with duel exhaust in the kit

 

[Quick GMC]

I like the new '29 Ford, so I got another, and 2 of the '30 Coupes

 

[Roadrunner]

Here's one I've been after for a while, but never seemed to get around to actually buying. I may get a couple more eventually, not real sure at this point.

[Daddyfink]

Picked up an AMT Lil Hot Dogger at Hobby Lobby since they, and a few other kits, are on clearance sale! 

Also, the Michael's I shop at still has the same kits from a couple of years ago, but, they have Starsky and Hutch Torinos, so I used my 50% off coupon and bought another one!! 

 

[Dann Tier]

There is not allot of detail but it does make a nice model.

 

Those tyres even look great!

[disabled modeler]

Yesterday i picked up a badly busted up green Johan 66 or 67 Toronado promo for 25 cents at a garage sale...now to try and find a body and glass and restore her.

[Zarana-X]

Got these at a thrift store/boutique, all still sealed, roof on one of the blazers was crushed. They'e jammed in there tighter than that old jar of pickles game. Do you think $5 each was a good deal?

Seriously awesome score!! 

[Roadrunner]

A trip to HL yesterday yielded this, purchased for me by a friend as payment for a favor rendered. I'm not real keen (at all) on fender-less cars, but the kit may yield some valuable parts for other stuff.

[Snake45]

Been on a bit of a Corvette promo/snapper jag lately. Decided to build a representative "collection" of generations and colors.

I'm in good shape on C2s and C3s, and even have a couple C4s. Yesterday I bought (with coupon) a Revell 2014 Corvette snapper in yellow.

And I just now scored a three-promo Vette set on eBay for $28--including shipping.

I'll have hours of fun polishing and paint-detailing these.

(Only readily available/affordable C1 I'm aware of is the AMT '53 snapper. Found my copy in the Snakepit and that's going in the build rotation right after I finish these two '63s and a '70.)

[om617]

[Badluck 13]

Picked up this at a local swap meet,very complete unbuilt/painted kit minus one tire  for $25.00 (hoping was a good deal)

 

[von Zipper]

Picked up a couple of these little tomatos today

[Ron Hamilton]

Picked up this at a local swap meet,very complete unbuilt/painted kit minus one tire  for $25.00 (hoping was a good deal)

 

Seems like an excellent deal to me if it is missing just one tire.

[sjordan2]

Tamiya's 1/24 Morgan 4/4 -- beautiful, finely detailed kit with wire wheels that you can actually see light through.

[StevenGuthmiller]

Picked up this at a local swap meet,very complete unbuilt/painted kit minus one tire  for $25.00 (hoping was a good deal)

 

Yeah, I would say it was a pretty good deal.

If it's complete, you pretty much stole it!!

Mail man dropped these off this afternoon. 2 very clean builtup Challengers. A complete - uncut UN-altered 70 and a clean 71 ( its had the funky rear spoiler glued to it so the deck lid will need some work. Paid less for the 2  than either one usually sells for and I got the trailer (unbuilt) and the decent 70 box

 

SCORE !!!!!!
