Mike999 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 MPC 75 Datsun pickup re-issue, courtesy of the 40% off Hobby Lobby coupon, in Anderson, SC. HL was dumping the Barris Surf Woody for $10.79. That was the only model car I saw on clearance in this store. Still don't have the Revell 66 Suburban, though a space is ready for it in the aisle, with an ID sticker. They had the "Gasman" 49 Ford and a few other newer kits.In other news...Michael's was having a 50% off sale with coupon, but saw nothing tempting. Last year they had some of those "spooky village" diorama things, with skeletons that looked close to 1/24 scale. None of those this year that I saw.Ollie's only had a few Lindberg ships and armor kits. Didn't even see a single 64 Dodge or Crown Vic Police, and this store always has those.

smhardesty Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just picked these up on evilbay. Got them for a really good price. I'm planning on building several of these, but none as the actual Color Me Gone or Maverick cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanR Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I also bought some of those Jacquard Metallic paints on sale at HL. I've only experimented with the Yellow so far. They're pre-thinned for the airbrush and worked well thru an Aztek. They are acrylic, and cleaned up oK with Tamiya X-20 thinner or 91% isopropyl alcohol.One thing I noticed: the Yellow was sensitive to the primer under it. Which I guess is common for any yellow paint. Sprayed over white primer or bare white plastic, the color came out as a nice bright metallic yellow. The metal "flakes" even looked in scale, not the lumps you see in some metallic paints. But sprayed over grey primer, the color shifted to more of a darker gold, not bright yellow. So far, they're fun to play around with and I think they'll be useful.Thanks for the info, I'll keep this in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanR Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Nice, I'm gonna have to try and find some. More paint never hurts.Be sure to check the Clearance sections, which are almost always in the back of the store to the far left or right. Also, several stores have had heavily discounted kits in shopping carts right up front when you walk in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually just getting ready to head over to the States here shortly. Going to go out with my sister for lunch then hit up a couple Hobby Lobby's in the Niagara Falls area.

smhardesty Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Picked this up on eBay. Another "Best Offer" deal. It'll be delivered to the front door for 12 bucks. Couldn't resist it. I'm developing a small army of early 60s Dodges & Plymouths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhedir6 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 My haul for today. Moebius Lonestar, scored off Ebay for $65 CDN including shipping. Shelby Mustang diecast as a donor from HL. A Logano Fusion on clearance from HL for $9.30, a FF Civic for $8.35 clearance from HL. Some more Vallejo paints from HL...found some that still had a $2.99 price tag. A R/C Bentley Continental GT3 car....this will get spruced up into a better looking curbside racer. A double back of diecast from Costco for the price of one normally...I'm thinking a 488 GTE car out of the one. And lastly my Scale Finishes order from August.

kelson Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Mailman dropped these off a couple days ago and yesterday a delivery from Fireball Modelworks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The mailman dropped these off yesterday from my latest wins off a live auction group on Facebook, and the Trans Am Type K was in a parts box lot and makes the second find of one of my "Holy Grail" kits in as many weeks. Now I have this one to build and a sealed kit to keep on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 There were a lot of those cheap "swill" beers years ago. My beer of choice when I was 19 was "Pfeiffer's" or "Wisconsin Premium". About $3.00 a case for long necks. Steve Never even heard of Wisconsin Premium, and I live in Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Monkey see, monkey want... Ever since I saw what a great looking model Tyler62990 made with this kit, I've had to have one. Found a decent deal on a sealed virgin, and it arrived today. Anybody who likes trucks and hasn't seen this one, well, you need to. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/126881-the-road-weary-roadway-ford-ok-its-actually-done-this-time-i-swear/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Never even heard of Wisconsin Premium, and I live in Wisconsin. I believe that it was made by Heileman. Can't seem to find a photo of the bottles, but we used to buy the long necks by the case. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
