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

[Mudpit602]

I got this Saurday night at the club meeting.

[Mr. Show]

Not a kit, but related to modeling.

Traded in my compressor (tip: never buy anything branded Alton or Toolshop - they both buy from the same awful Chinese manufacturer and slap their name on the product) for a better brand and model. Slightly overkill for airbushing, but I needed one with a built-in regulator, and I can finally use basic paint guns now for larger projects since I mod computer cases as well.

Dang Clay, I think you single-handedly wiped his 'T' wheelsets out of stock!

Got a few goodies today - more on the way but I really stoked with these two..

The little Ford had cruiser skirts glued onto it ( gee - isn't that a surprise ) but when the person glued them on, the glue must have been already setting up because there is NO glue residue at all on the car! I have a few '59 annuals but this one is probably the cleanest.. the "washboards" behind the rear wheels are almost always gooped up with glue and destroyed... on this car, I peeled the skirts off and then by using just my hobby knife, I picked what little glue was still on the car off leaving pristine, bare, white plastic! I am one happy camper! Now, I hope that the scoop comes off of the hood that easily..

Also got this one - I have plans for this one - probably not a unique idea but an idea that I have never seen done - should be a sweetie when it gets completed..

I haven't gotten much lately since I've been outpriced at my Fav LHS lately.

Luckily I have more than one to shop at and Found this Van on closeout.

And Pegasus 1109 and 1119 wire wheels.

The wheels just because I'm a wheel Hoarder

This from Ebay with a Honest shipping charge (5.95 and it came Priority)

You lucky devil, wished I had it ! ! !

I'm jealous you know :P LOL

[Roadkill2525]

Got this from Wheelman Mike.

[DRG]

Picked up some paint from a local Hobby Shop, won't go back there again their prices are way to much.

I ordered this engine detailing kit and can't remember from you.

[niteowl7710]

Is this a trans-kit for the RoG kit, or an entire kit?

[niteowl7710]

Came back from the Post Office after finding my latest bargain basement eBay deal. I've taken the shrink off it to check the parts inside, but factory sealed kit for $3.61!!! With S&H is was under $10...can't be that with a X-Acto.

You sure can save the money for the lotto this week. I have never seen a '59 Gal with intact washboards south of a mint/boxed, resin, or my own resto.

Don't worry about the bonnet bulge. Even if it left its mark, the bonnet is completely flat and thus easy to fix.

This is mine:

It was hardtopped and had the door handles shaved off by a previous owner, but it had never any spats installed.

That's a kit from Fujimi.

Yup, what he said.

A complete kit not a Trans kit.

I also got a stock version somewhere

Still bigger than a smart car.

Greg your killing me Mainly with that Thunderbolt monster truck and the Fall Guy truck. Hey where did you get the scale chains in your detail stuff?

[davyou5]

As of now I broke down and ordered this kit from Evil Bay, and at a very reasonable price on shipping. .

[Mr. Show]

Well, I didn't get it yet, but this will be arriving in the mail today:

I just love that body style. It'll look great next to the '68 Firebird that'll probably take me a year to get around to building.

Edit: Well, it just arrived and crikey this is the lowest quality model I have ever seen. There is horrendous flash on every piece. Also the one I received is not the one that was pictured on Amazon - the wheels and hood are different. This really irritates me. This almost looks like some blackmarket Chinese knockoff.

Oh well, I'll throw it in the "until I'm more experienced to build" pile.
