cobraman Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Love the 62 Ford. That was my first car. Maybe I will track one down some day to try and make it like my first car. I would have to try and convert it to a 4 door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Have a look in farming areas if you want the wagon, much more common in those areas in the UK at leastCheers Leslie for your heads-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 A '70 Monte Carlo at Hobby Lobby, with the 40% off coupon. Also got the Molotow Liquid Chrome pens, 1 and 2mm sizes (as posted elsewhere).Off-topic, but with all the eBay horror stories, here's a good one: a few days ago, I did a Buy It Now on the very old Williams Bros. 1/72 scale Martin B-10 bomber. Had one long ago and always regretted selling it. The package just came. The kit box was grungy and water-stained, which I already knew from the eBay listing photos. But inside that box was TWO complete B-10 kits - one still sealed in the original plastic bag, one loose in the box. And even 2 sets of decals. No instructions but I can find those elsewhere.

Good score! Fiddly kit to build (and the rubber tires split after I built it) but one of my favorite old planes. If I got another, I'd like to build it as one of the target tugs based at Las Vegas during WWII; their last hurrah before the smelter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I was pleasantly surprised to find some decent kits left at the local Ollies. I bought a Surfite, a '55 Ford Pro Mod, a '99 Mustang, a Sox & Martin '67 GTX, a Dodge Ram pickup, a '32 Ford Speedwagon, and the last Slingster on the shelf( I would have bought more of those). Oddly enough, when I went to this same store about 2 weeks ago none of these kits were there. At that time this store had a lot of the Lindberg Little red Wagons, Bugatti Royales and Mercedes SSK kits. Yesterday they were all gone. I can't believe there's been that much demand for those kits. I wonder where they went? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 At the model club meet last night, I picked up a set of chrome reverses with Baby Moons for the '65 Econoline movie truck project, and a sharp set of Appliance wire mags that should look good on my '69 LTD when I get around to it. Thanks to Steve G. for bringing that huge bin of tires and letting us root through it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Sometimes the work pays off! Just returned from the NNL North show in Bloomington MN. I wasn't even planning on going this year with the stress from the move & all, but I'm glad I did. I made out like a bandit! I had 6 kits entered in the show this year. A '59 Bonneville & a '60 Dodge Dart in the "Fins" category, which was this years theme. I also entered a '61 Starliner in the street rod category, a '63 Ford in the truck category & a '69 Coronet in the muscle car category. The only "Factory Stock" entry I had this year was my '62 300 H convertible. I won the trophy for the fins category from the gentlemen from the "Model Car Club of Minnesota" for the '60 Dodge, & a trophy for "Best Road Car" from the guys from the "Winnipeg Model Cal Club" for my '62 Chrysler! I also picked up a plaque for one of the "Top Ten" in the show from the participants, also for the '62 300. My head is still reeling a bit! I never really expected to win any awards this year. It was very unanticipated! I just want to send my heart felt thanks to all of the guys from the MCCM & the WMCC for their kindness, especially Scott & Rod who have both sort of taken me under their wing & made me feel really comfortable. I also have to thank all of the participants for the top ten vote as well. There were a lot of really great builds there & I am humbled to receive their votes. And last, I have to thank my beautiful wife for suggesting that I take the time to go this year & accompanying me to boot. She is my biggest reason for living!

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Have a '72 Celica coming from Japanoland. As one of these was among the first cars I race-prepped early in my career, I kinda thought it might be fun to build it as an SCCA C-Sedan car, as that's what the real one was. All I really remember about the car is that it was a kinda darkish olive green metallic, built on a pretty tight budget, and it wouldn't get out of its own way when it came in because the cam timing was so retarded.

geewhiz Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Looks like a great time!!! Congratulations on the awards. I hope to make the 5 hour drive up and check it out one day. Hmmm, family in Coon Rapids...might have to plan a long weekend next year and put the whole deal together. Anyway, congrats on well deserved awards with the Dodge and the Chrysler. They're both gorgeous as I'm sure the others you took are as well. ???????? Edited May 22, 2017 by geewhiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
