Just traded for this. I built this and the wrecker when I was a kid. One down, one to go. Thanks Tom (Modlbldr) for a great trade.

came up empty handed at the only LHS in town.  Needed some tamiya paint but they're backordered on what i wanted.  I hate not buying anything, so i got the new issue of MCM

This one arrived this morning. I keep finding these early Toyota pickups with caps on ebay. Next one coming next week

Looks like it may have opened in August?

11610 W. 95th, conveniently located next to a Hobby Lobby. 
as far as kits on hand I saw a coke trailer, Myers Manx, a corvette Cr7? and a mid 90’s Mustang along with various jet aircraft.

I’d wanted one of these for a while, and a co-worker surprised me with an Amazon voucher for a lunchtime project I was helping her with…so I knew immediately what to spend it on:

Micro Mark Chop-It…not the fanciest of tools, but I already know I’m going to use this a bunch, especially for those tasks where you need to cut a bunch of material to identical lengths easily.

I have the Evergreen version, it works great on thin stuff and handy to make a bunch of the same part.

tamiya mazda eunos. probably slam it on some silly wide wheels and make an outlaw retro corner blaster out of it (pis from the web)

From scalehobbyist. Have both Fireblades now. I’m hoping the pearl white over white primer will give me the proper white? If not I may have to order the proper color from zero paints.

This is another weird truck.  Pretty sure my dad had 2 like this one only 2WD. Still under the Datsun moniker.  No caps though.

Very cool! Can you elaborate on the kit a little? Scale, manufacturer, etc? Thanks!

[redscampi]

These Falcons obtained recently from eBay (Red 62 and Green 61) will be reworked and supplemented by cheap AMT 60 Ranchero kits. The 62 will become a convertible with a few enhancements. The 61 will be a resto-mod.

If I get a chance to take any.  I'm usually pretty busy running the show; doing registration, running the raffle and handing out awards.

We are hoping that a certain model magazine will send someone out to photograph the show.

Great finds  love the Force 440,had one built it as a teen and want to build another one sometime…

This one followed me home today.  It’s been started but I think it’s all there.  Looks like a bit of a glue bomb.  But the rims are all there (I love those old slots) and the box looks really good for its age.  I have a real soft spot for the old white box monogram stuff.

What did I get today that’s model kit related?

Does anxiety, added stress, and a strong want to pull my hair out count? It is related to a model kit. ????
