Snake45 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Got this Dremel accessory grinding set at Walmart for $15. When you compared it to a bunch of much smaller sets they had for $12+, there is a LOT of good stuff in here. Came home and put it to use immediately grinding on a diecast body. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dremel-711-01-150-Piece-All-Purpose-Accessory-Kit/706495036 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Picked up a really nice 1:24 Wills Finecast Auto-Kit today, which is a white metal kit of a 1933 MG K3 Magnette Open Tourer. The original box is in very good condition, especially considering this kit is 46 years old or more. I managed to bid for this kit on Ebay and got it for £9.99, which is around US $. 12.73 and I can see built versions of this kit on sale for £150.00 ( US $. 191.28 ). The wire-spoked wheels have to be wired by hand, but they include a wheel winding jig and plenty of wire in the kit. I shall be building this as a 1932 MG F Magna which is very close in appearance to the K3 Magnette of 1933. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yes, it was quite lucky Gary...... and this will be my first build of a white metal kit, so I need to take it slowly. Not sure yet if super glue or epoxy is best for assembling these kits. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Lotus Seven kit from Southern Fine Craft and also their stand alone Rover V8 engine. I never got round to building either and finally sold them off (maybe 10 years ago now). I wish I'd kept them both. So, will we be seeing a build thread of this Magnette soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Sonny..... There might well be a build thread for this one, but I am not only a slow builder, but also not great at keeping up with the build by posting regularly. However, having said that I will try. The build is going to be a 1932 MG F Magna as driven by Kitty Brunell successfully in major international motor races and rallies of the period. The 1933 MG K3 Magnette is close enough to the Magna to be accurate, in terms of dimensions and specification generally. Thanks for looking!

ChrisBcritter Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Got a set of soft resin Modelhaus tires today - nice fast delivery and excellent quality! Of course, I imagine the demand for 13" wide whites for the Jo-Han '61 Olds F-85 wagon ain't exactly huge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I first spotted this at the IPMS Nationals back in November, just didn't have the funds before Christmas, but I'd put my name down for one for my birthday present to myself, it's there first resin kit, with others planned, the MK1 Lotus Cortina being there next one.

SfanGoch Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 My older brother owned a Highway Yellow 1964 Morris Minor 1000 4-door. Not a bad car; but, NYC potholes beat the snot out of the suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerS Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Should be here next week. Opened but sealed inside for slightly more than retail on a Round2 kit. I've heard rumors that the stock truck with the standard bed is under development but like their Demon and the Vega kits, I'll believe it when it's in my fat little fingers.

Anglia105E Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Geoff in Solihull.... You have got yourself a very nice resin kit of the Morris Minor there, and I would be very interested in a Lotus Cortina MK1 resin kit in 1:24 scale. I have built a 1:24 Morris Minor Traveller as a resin kit, which I gave to my cousin because it was a replica of his late father's motor car. Currently I am building a 1960 Ford Anglia 105E which is also a resin kit, and I would like to build a 4-door Ford Cortina MK1 which used to be my late father's car, but the Lotus Cortina is a 2-door of course. Thanks for posting a photo of the box for the kit and I shall have a look at The Motor Museum in Miniature web site. Here is a photo of the Morris Minor Traveller for you.....

mikemodeler Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Despite not really needing anything, I went into my local Michael's today with a 60% off coupon and found a Revell Nova sitting on the shelf. After taxes it was $10.73 and if I use it for parts or do some swapping with other kits, I don't have a ton invested in it. Trying to break the habit of buying kits I don't really need, but for $10 I figure what the heck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite common to see one at the side of the road with broken trunions, if you didn't keep them greased the brass screw used to snap off.

Renegade Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Mail lady was extremely good to me today. 10 kits came in. The camper is from HL, $20.00 with coupon. Will look good behind one of my trucks, just have to decide which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a decal try, you put the decal on the blue sponge piece, then dip in the water and the bring it back up till the decal comes free of the backing paper, I am working on a review video for it .

1930fordpickup Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Went to Hobby Lobby and picked up another Foose truck. I did not even look for the Chevy truck but they did not even have a Buick Riviera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
