Well, I know it aint nothing to the motherloads others find here. But while waiting for one of my favorite Antique mall to buy furnature at to open went into a Roses store and found 4 cans of testors spray paint, 12 micro glue tips and one bottle of flat white. Looks like a can of gold spary paint had exploded in the area as all items were gold. Anyway got it for $2.00

Now if I could have only found some model kits?

I went over to Tuesday Morning and found two kits for $9.99 each. I'd found a AMT Lil Mixer kit & a AMT 27 Ford Model T "Vintage Police Car" which are both reissued they were originally $24.95 a piece but who knew i got both for under 20 bucks.

Went to a flea market today (I needed to restock) and found two Porsche kits for $3 each, the 1/20 scale 914, and a 928 circa 1978 copyright.

Mailman brought me some goodies! The Revell of Germany Audi R8 is from a trade with Joe Chernauskas, (love the kit thanks Joe! I'll be getting yours out ASAP :rolleyes:) the pair of Tamiya Alfa Romeo GTV kits are scores from eBay (got both for less than $25 shipped, not too shabby!) and the 1/43 Pontiac Fiero is a pullback car in great shape that I got at a yard sale over the weekend, I might let go of it since it was an impulse buy lol. Lastly is my '69 Charger R/T Hemi clock that I got last weekend at a flea market, I love it!

Brad - could explian the stepped sleeves? You get tires and sleeves - what do you use for the actual wheel? Are the sleeves used to make deep dish wheels? Do you use a wheel from a kit with the sleeve?

Saturday, I took advantage of Massachusetts' tax-free weekend and my club discount and bought the new-issue MPC 1970 Dodge Super Bee. What a nice kit! I also picked up some Model Master Ford Engine Blue.

Bradley.. Glad they made it there fast and safe.. Pleasure top help ya..

Jim.. The sleeves come in two different sizes.. 19 and 23.. the 23 inch sleeve will take any of the pegasus 19 inch wheels and convert them to 23s.. Really helpful for making stagered 19/23 combos of wheels they only offer in 19 as shown here..

Model build by Randy I.. he used a set of 19 inch diablos and put 23inch sleeves on the back..

The 19 inch sleeves are used for converting alot of kit wheels into a 19inch wheel. So really just another up sizing method. I have seen quite a few kit wheels used.

Some Gunze clear coat, some Pacer canopy glue and a couple of knives to help me with the foiling. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have a completed model to go along with it!

I hope so because I'm currently bidding on my next project on eBay and promised myself it would be one car on the go at a time ;)
