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


Recommended Posts

Found nothing at the flea market today.  But I hit some thrift stores after the flea market, and found a great display case. About 6 feet tall, several glass shelves, lighting etc. It cost $32.  Now I'm trying to figure out where to put it, and how to get it home.  It sure won't fit in my car, even with the top down. I'll either borrow my Mom's small SUV or hit up one of my friends with a pickup truck.

Got a "Yes" and a fiancee when I proposed to my GF under the total solar eclipse on Monday. My first engagement you understand. We were steadies in college, went our separate ways for about 22 years, then a few years ago became reacquainted through a mutual friend. Older, wiser, more patient, more mature, etc. The rest is history.

Congrats! I married my high sweetheart after we both went through a bad marriage. Both getting a divorce at the same time. Ran into  each other in 1974. Married in 1975. Still together. Better second time around!

A very good friend of my daughter's did the same thing on Monday! :)

 

I wish you all the best!

Congratulations Mike!  I hope she likes the smell of paint in the morning after an all nighter before the show.

That's a great "history!"  Congratulations!  Now start her off gently by giving her a couple of Snap-Kits for your first-month anniversary, instead of useless flowers or something...:-)

I got the big display case home yesterday.  That Thrift Store was a class act.  Called and told them I was coming to pick it up, after drafting a friend with a pickup truck.  (I bribed him with a free lunch.)  When we walked in the door, the woman in charge said "We got it all ready for you."  They sure did!  Display case was sitting on a hand-truck, right at the front door.  The glass shelves were removed and neatly wrapped in old towels and newspapers.  We just had to back the truck up to the door and put the display case in it.  One problem - a couple of the glass clips/retainers need replacing, being broken and cracked. Probably just from old age, they're plastic.  A trip to Lowes should fix that. Everything else seems OK, like the lights etc.

Thanks for all the kudos guys. She's grown to understand modeling and especially had an awakening when she accompanied me to GSL in April. She'll never have the patience to build herself, but it's enough for me that she gets what modeling (and car shows) is all about. Now, about the motorcycle...
