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

[Jared Roach]

So yesterday I went to the city and stoped at a hobby shop. They had pretty much the same thing as my lhs but they carry Tamiya paint and the had some second hand kits there and the Ranger caught my eye, even though Gm s-series are better. lol

Gonna be my first time using Tamiya paint, so hopefully it'll work out.

Got the last of my stuff from eBay, two sets of LS wheels and accessories.

Got some Missing Link '69-74 Plymouth hubcaps from ebay yesterday and today picked up the new Revell Corvette ZR-1 at the LHS. Looks pretty sweet. Alas, the Hemi Darts were gone by the time I got there (this shop is in the RPP program).

Nice wheels.

I got a nice vintage score today. A local place I browse gets models sometimes so I picked these up with two hard to find Hot Wheels for $30. The Carrera is copyright 1976 and the Ford is copyright 75. The Carrera has a started interior tub but everything else is good for $8 and the only damage to the truck is a lightly bent chrome tree not affecting the parts and it was $16. The truck parts are still in the bags. I think I did good and I'm hoping a few more kits are still there next week since I didn't have a lot to play with this week.

Good grab on the Ecto HW I picked one up a few months ago while grocery shopiing and last friday I found a gold Delorean HW at the same grocery store.

I'm actually really happy with the Delorean releases from HW. They are clean and well done. The gold one looks great to with the gold wheels. Oh and the dealer I talked to said the Ecto is turning out to be almost as hard to find as a T-Hunt and I certainly have had no luck finding it. This place I go to you may pay more for a new release like $3 for this ecto instead of a buck but you don't waste your gas going all over town looking. Plus the store has everything from redlines all the way to new. I love that place

Some paint, Bare Metal Foil,TesTors Custom Decal System (might go in the decal business !),cement,and some brushes.

[Junkman]

I have another of the Ben Skylines...if you weren't aware they're the same kit as the Tamiya. There's a whole series of duplicate "Ben" reissues.

Yeah, but the Ben box art is sooooo much kewlerer.

[Railfreak78]

Joshua I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that loves glue bomb lots. If that red car body on the left is what I think it is I am a very jealous man

[MILD]

I picked up Revell's 2 in 1 Black Widow 57.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it at this stage though.

[Lownslow]

[Kaleb]

lol I think I got part of the interior with that one. the windshield frame is missing so I cant do much to it...neither with a few others like the nascar and the white car.

[DRG]

Since I don't like the exhaust system that came with the 62 Catalina 421 SD kit I bought some solder at Radio Shack.

I'll make my own.

Also went for a ride and to my surprise found a Hobby Lobby I didn't know was there.

[Tom Kren]

Got the new issue of model cars still need to read it also got a book called anatomy of the hot rod and halp price books just 14.00 WOW saw it at boarders for 35. and a GoodGuys t at the show yesterday

I think that is a plymouth from the pic can you tell me what it is? I can't tell if its a Plymouth ( which had a cut off top the kit I'm thinking of) or t looks like a cut up Impala lol. That red one makes me think its an old MPC Body if its a Plymouth and I's gladly trade Nascar parts for it if you want to finish the Lumina. I think that body might be from theis kit

[Greg Cullinan]

Found a hobby shop,Ed's hobby shop to be exact, while on vacation in Myrtle Beach,S.C.

Had a nice plastic section amidst a ton of R/C

and whilst checking out noticed some built models for sale.

There was also newer Charger and what looked like a ricer from Fast and Furious.

It was only 11 bucks,Ed said a regular customer brings them in.

Managed to strap this to the roof of my Expedition and drive 600 miles and only lost a outside mirror,

although I can't get my builds form the work bench to the shelf without falling apart.

Although not a model it's somewhat related,went to Nascar speedpark to ride the go-karts and picked this up.

Got home yesterday to some sweet resin from our own Shucky!
