I went to a local flea market that runs once a season. I am in the process of building a Spraybooth and have a functioning one mocked up in cardboard with a 12V squirrelcage fan. I knew I needed a larger fan, but wasn't looking forward to buying one. What was one of the first things I found at the flea market? Three brand new fans! I also picked up a Pininfarrina (sp?) Mythos model for 5 bucks.

Many moons ago I had a resin brick disguised as a Testors Dairyland Express, I lost it in a move. I've been looking for a Divco for a while with no success. I recently found a seller on ebay with them. Lost the first auction I found, missed the second and luckily won the last one he claims to have. It's a bit rough, but I have something to start with.

Since I've retired from the music business I've been hitting a few estate auctions and antique stores ... one of the largest auctioneers in the in the area also has a 2 floor antique store (imagine that) .. well after picking up a few items for my basement saloon project I made the turn down the center isle and the wife said "look this booth has some models" .. and man did they .. the best $40 I ever spent ... ;D

Here are my latest arrivals. I picked up these on Saturday. This trio arrived today. Probably nothing too unusual but I'd never seen the Dodge Sidewinder before and I got that and Infini-T for £15.00 on ebay which I was pleased with.

I'm not sure how rare these are in the USA but I imagine there can't be too many around here in the UK so when I saw this on ebay the other day I had to go for it. Another one to cross of the list. I guess I'd better start building one or two of 'em.

) ......... the proportions are brutal. These kits were thrown together by guys who had no clue about models; they were Slot Car guys & it's a shame they got them & not Revell. [/quote]
Just because they were slot car guys had nothing to do with it. Slot car races usually had a best appearing car as part of the show. Check out some of the new slot cars. They are better looking, more to scale, better engineered then a lot of model or die cast cars, and you can race them.
Revell made and still makes slot cars, AMT made slot cars, Jo-Han made slot car bodies, Monogram made slot cars, Hawk made slot cars, MPC made slot cars.......
The people that made the decisions to not make them to scale just didn't care.

Ok.... Hearing all the negatives regarding these kits reminds me of the 3 "unbuildable" tri-5 kits from Revell...but after building 1 of the 3 for myself i didnt really see any issues...So never having built any of these makes me want to crack one open a kit and start sticking pieces together..., as far as the scale being off well that's a separate issue... They are still cool kits and I'm thinking with a lot of patience and perseverance they can be built to be respectable models ... Heck look at the old Palmer kits.. Ive seen them done up, drop dead gorgeous ... Now where did I put that Invader kit!!!!??

Thats Kool ......Your just missing one. I could be wrong, but I don't believe Doyusha made the Sand Draggin. I know Eldon did, but Doyusha? Please correct me if I am wrong!

Built my Sand Draggin kit with no (zero) issues at all.
Only problem is all the neat details are concealed when built.
