That set of slides at the bottom has a couple Pam shots I've never seen before. Lots of good car shots too. Thanks for the link.
Rest up, Paul.

Great job on both Bandits! I have the kits. I'll be sure to spray the decals when I eventually build them. Hopefully, they will come out as good as yours.

I've been meaning to post my dies cast stuff to my fotki site. I finally got around to it tonight. I found a few items that I thought you all might enjoy. From Johnny Lighting I remember picking this 1/18 scale beauty up for 8 bucks at the Hot Wheels clearance center in Chino CA These are 1/32? Scott

I'll be watching this one. I found that the Tony Nancy slingshot chassis fits in there pretty well. You will have to extend the front if you want it to reach the axle. Scott

I have used Tamyia smoke clear through an airbrush. It water based so if there is an imperfection you can wash it off and try again. I also heated RIT dyes and dipped the clear plastic in it. Both of these produced a nice light tint to a darker tint as desired. I also used real window tint which came out pretty dark.

That's some good detail for a caricature. You did a great job with it!

That looks so kool. I think the claw and skull detail is my favorite part.
You did a great job with a rare kit.

I bought a couple boxes of parts for a decent price. It was really fun to do a bit of styrene archaeology. I knew there were a couple good things in there. At least two of them were from my past, so there was value there. So here are the boxes. First look box 1 First look box 2 Decals and bits and pieces Lots of tires. Part of a Zinger and parts from the bed buggy. The cool headlights were not there. Poop. The Vette was nearly complete, but I'm not sure of the scale. Also included. Some small figures (mini men?) sanding stick, 1/64 camper, and part of a master link. (missing link?) Here's the money shot. Firebug with most fo the important parts, 1/20 T altered from when I was a kid. T for Two from that same time period, and parts of a Lil' Mixer, some dune buggy I don't know and parts from the Serpent kit.

Excellent work, Bob. The added detail really brings this to life!

The orange one is the Outlaw - canned heat reissue. The engine is sitting in the Ice T.
The golden chassis is......the bed buggy.
What do I win?
Great score on the Moon Mixer!

Jim, It's someone else's unfinished Ford Vicky project. The work that was done looked very clean. It had most of the chassis parts too.
I have plenty of unfinished projects of my own, but I would have gladly added this one to the group.

Same thing happened to me on this one. The winner beat me by 1.00. ($46.21) I wonder how high he would have gone. I guess my limit was 45.21. But I was really bummed when it got away. That would be a cool thread - The ones that got away.

Years ago I picked up a partial Super Digger on e-bay. I did not know how "partial" it was. I traded away the engine to AJ for some of the mechanism parts. I just picked up enough replacement parts to make an operating kit (with a little scratch building).

I wonder if Fonzie bought that from the Monkees, or vice versa? 😂 That begs the age old question...What came first, the Monkey or the Fonz?

I was the only bidder on this one. The Fonzie figure is there.

T'rantula has the rear daisy mags. TJ taxi has the front stars. Lots of other kits have the front stars, but I think a lot of them are OOP.

Yep. All the pieces are there and its NOT a glue bomb. No extra decals. I could paint the stripes. The lettering would more difficult.

Me too, Bobby. I can think of at least 4 models or subassemblies I've dropped or accidentally knocked apart.
It's plastic. You can figure it out.

I googled it and found out they have a lot of intertesting cars including a Tucker. One guy owns them all. What caught my eye was the Roth Wishbone and what looks like the Bugatti styling exercise kitted by renewal.
