Sam I Am Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Evergreen version, it works great on thin stuff and handy to make a bunch of the same part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpate Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited October 19, 2023 by Dpate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) This is another weird truck. Pretty sure my dad had 2 like this one only 2WD. Still under the Datsun moniker. No caps though.

redscampi Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicholiday Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 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. ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
