crazyjim Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Very nice. I almost bought a Unimat when I was in high school 50 years ago.
Twokidsnosleep Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 John that is the sweetest tool haul I have ever seen!!!Karma smiled on you my friend
426-Hemi Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Very nice. I almost bought a Unimat when I was in high school 50 years ago.Yes, I know they're old, BUT those things run & work so well its not funny, ad both are still "true" to the factory Tolerances!! I wouldn't trade 'em for anything in the world!
426-Hemi Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) John that is the sweetest tool haul I have ever seen!!! Karma smiled on you my friend Thanks Scott! I have to say, I'm very happy with them both! (I just got a Collet set for them too!) So yeah, Someone from above smiled upon me! Edited March 23, 2017 by 426-Hemi Typing
KWT Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Got these today... But, it's like I told the girlfriend.. I must have "forgot" to put a couple things in my cart. Looks like I'll have to make another order... yeah, she didn't believe me either. lol.
Snake45 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Just since Hobby Lobby didn't have any coupon-worthy kit I wanted, I used it on a "Paasche Starter Airbrush." List price $25.99, I think I got OTD for around 16. It looks very similar to my beloved, 30-year old Badger 350, which I use for 95% of my airbrush work including virtually ALL my car work.When I got it home I read the fine print and saw that it's Made in China. I wonder if this is exactly the same thing as the Chinese Badger 350 clone I bought at a flea market a couple years ago, and only use for spraying clear (which it does quite well)? Oh well, for 16 frogs I'm not out much, and who knows, it might be a genuine Good Thing. Paasche's name is on it, which gives me some comfort.I'll write up a report after I've used it. It could be that this is the perfect "starter" airbrush for car modelers (assuming you have a compressor or other good air source--NOT those stupid dicky cans).
Cedward Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I received a 32 Vicky body from R&M of Maryland but I also ordered 2 model A's/ chopped top & was told the mold was worn out. He said he may have time in 6-8 months build another, with the problem with Revell's30 coupe mold maybe the modeling Gods will get things back on track! LOL
gtx6970 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) End of last week. my recent purchase arrived. Bought it off a facebook buddy of mine A really clean Johan 1960 Chrysler New Yorker hardtop. Missing just one wheel hubcap . Edited March 27, 2017 by gtx6970

Tom Geiger Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Not a model but I love adding transportation related bits to my stamp collection. Here's a card I got way too cheap on eBay this week... This was 1906 and some folks were still hanging on to their horse and buggy! BTW, nobody else bid on this so I got it for a dollar.
keyser Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I expected Art's address and name on that ya know.
crazyjim Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks to F.A.S.T. for the award...can you spot the typo??? -RRR We were told about that after the awards presentation and we're truly sorry. We'll be contacting the supplier later today.
OldNYJim Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Being the least impotant doesnt sound THAT bad. Better than being the MOST impotant anyway...
gtx6970 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Won this one over the weekend. At about $30 delivered to my door. I'm not going to feel bad when I take it apart to use a basis for a drag car build. I sure cant find a decent 62 Galaxie hardtop annual kit for that kind of money . The stock wheel and tires I need for one of my convertible annuals

oldnslow Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Jim , I think the misprint is great , I'd want to keep the trophy just the way it is.
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) End of last week. my recent purchase arrived. Bought it off a facebook buddy of mine A really clean Johan 1960 Chrysler New Yorker hardtop. Missing just one wheel hubcap . Sweet! I love these cars! I think the Johan New Yorker was a better looking car than the '60 Desoto. Just an over all cleaner look. I'll have to check Bill, but I don't believe mine had any of the stock caps left either. I think it had the custom wheels which were a rudimentary version of a Pontiac 8 lug wheel. I went with a set of Modelhaus wires on mine. Boy I miss Modelhaus!!

StevenGuthmiller Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I found this gracing my door step this afternoon. The original annual with the Polara trim is getting very difficult to find these days. I won't say I "stole" it, but it didn't break me either. Missing the hood & the glass is broke, but I think I have pretty good prospects for nearly anything I need for this one. The body is good & that's all I really need. Steve
