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

[crazyjim]

We got home from our Rolling Thunder - Floria Chapter 7 meeting and found a box from Carney Plastics had been delivered. The plastic case is 24" x 28 1/2" with 7 clear plastic shelves and a mirror back. It'll hold 24 1/24 models. I filled the first one. This is #2 and I'm already looking for a place to hang #3.

Carney Plastics does a very nice job on these display cases. I ordered it Wednesday and it arrived today via FedEx.

I ordered straight from Carney because the shipping was cheaper than going through Amazon.

I've seen those Carney cases- trouble is I'd STILL need to add a wing to my house to accomodate them all!

[crazyjim]

Not a problem Chuck. My best friend is a contractor who used to build million dollar plus homes in Illinois. I'm sure he could handle an addition to your house.

I have just gotten back into modeling after what I thought was a forty year break. My wife reminded me that I did some ten or twelve years ago and everything was packed away in the attic.

Got it all out and got my area ready.

Do I have a great wife or what?

Nice Nick! I like the Jeff Gordon picture too

[highway]

Nice haul Nick! Now just for you to figure out the camera!! Seriously, though, for your close up pics, like the real blurry one, there should be a "Macro" setting for close ups. Depending on the camera, there should be a "Macro" setting in the menu or some have a little wheel for the settings, the little flower looking icon should be the "Macro" setting. You can use the macro for the other shots, too, and your close up pics will be much clearer.

Oh hey Nick I know about Hot Wheels. I can't tell you about the big cars but I know that the Matchbox blue and white Chevy pickup (the 90's style) is from a Taco Bell 4 car set. I'm not good for what they are worth but if you need info on things PM me and I'll see if I can help.

Sweet, I bought it for what it was when I was in Florida, a Chevy longbed pickup.

FedEx just dropped a package from TCP Global. The box contained a 4 oz bottle of Solar Gold, 4 oz Orion Silver (I use for basecoats) and 2 oz bottles of Magenta Candy, Wild Cherry Candy, Burgundy Candy, Persimmon Candy, and Teal Candy. My stock on paints has increased. I can't get into them today because I need to trim, edge, and cut the grass. Maybe pull some weeds too.

I got this today in a trade with Brandon (bad0210). My Aoshima collection is slowly growing. This one makes #4, there will be a 5th in a couple days. I'm a happy camper now since I've been trying to get my hands on this one forever.

Sounds like some wild colors,going to have to check tCP out again. I'm assuming these are House of Kolors?

I have it, it's a fantastic kit.

I don't build no other Japanese kit's but Aoshima, IMHO these are

the best...

[RodneyBad]

Not THE Corolla I'm looking for but what the Heck,

It looks Good.

[JamesW]

Here's todays haul.

Which takes my Aoshima collection to a grand total of 5.

1 is in a case awaiting completion.

I got this from a friend of mine last night who repairs and rebuilds computers, just so I can enjoy my favorite model forum from the comfort of my model desk!!

It's not as powerful as my main computer, and found it REALLY doesn't like pages with tons of pics (HINT, HINT!!), because I had to come back to the main computer to make this post!!!! At least I don't have to leave the model desk to research projects or get pics of projects I'm working on and have already researched!

[JamesW]

Yeah, now that you have a computer at your bench you'll never get anything built. That's why I don't have very many finished.

Yeah, maybe, but I'm lazy!!!! At least now I don't have to walk all the way to the main computer to check the forum!!!

At least you're honest.
