I've received some days ago a few kits.

First, Atelier Debelleyme's Peugeot 601 D Cabriolet décapotable, and Voisin C 24 Carène. Good quality resin kits, really.

But, most of all, a new set of Cutter's models: 1938 Cadillac V16 Fleetwood, 1939 Ford Sedan, 1940 Huppmobile, 1942 De Soto (Houbaaaa!!!!), 1948 Chrysler Traveler aand Crown Imperial (Houba Houba hop!!!!), 1953 Packard (I just needed another one…), 1955 Kaiser, 1955 Pontiac Safari (wow!…), 1959 Buick Station-wagon. All great kits, of course. Thanks again, Jerry and Lee, and congratulations!

Sylvain, are you quoting Marsupilami?

Good news about the Atélier Daballeyme kits too.

HOUBA!!! ;D

Now you know how happy I am with CMC De Soto and Chrysler. By the way, don't you think the Turbot- Rhino 1 would be an interesting model in our scale?

About Atelier Debelleyme, yes, good news. I was a little afraid when I bought them. Philippe (Zeck62) has posted some pictures of his unbuilt kit of the Voisin on forum-auto.com, if you want to see how it looks.

A Turbot is probably the only fictional car I would ever buy a model of. Those made reading Spirou even lovelier.

Just returned from a weekend trip to Montana and found some great stuff in the local Hobby Shop's "Bargain Basement".

NJ International UPS type delivery truck kit
three- APM GMC TDH 4510 busses (2-green, 1-red)
The owner just "wanted to get rid of them!"

Then stopped at Wal-Mart and found the new Fresh Cherries Hornet and Mustang.

Wonderful weather, great scenery, awesome finds, all made for a PERFECT WEEKEND!

A new toy among my latest purchases. Not exactly new in the market, but new to me.
Among a series of tiny toy cars from the movie 'Cars', this one comes close to 87th scale.
Length=3,1 cm and Width=1,5 cm compared to Length=2970 cm and Width=1320 cm (wikipedia)
That gives 1/95 in length and 1/88 in width. Here is the beast:

Dear All:

Jack knows I get amused when a certain car is 'interprted' by several manufacturers. So, he went ahead and got me the Mustang from Ricko,Welly and Mattel. Well, now I have the opportunity to see how each manufacturer molds this particular item.

I also got Matchbox Isuzu Car Carrier and Tomica Capsule series Honda Beat. The latter (a part of) is sold at this toystore (the few which survived) in Santa Monica. On the other hand, the Toys R Us from that community did closed down.

The Isuzu's Cab and platform which carries the vehicle seem too large (exagerated width). Its front end is authentic; I compared with a real one which was parked in the street. Hm.

Another try to show off the Fiat 500 toy... Still learning about Tripod...

Received today, through Narwag, Motormax '74 AMC Hornet and '71 Ford Mustang. Nothing much to say about these two models, I think that everything as already been said. All I can add is that the models look better "in real" than through pictures.

Also received an Opel Olympia 53 "Cabrio-Limousine". Nice model, but it's not a surprise.

Hey guys:

I was in L.A. area this past weekend and met Jerry and picked up around a dozen of his fabulous models including his outstanding Pontiac Safari wagon ,all of his pickups, and some woodies.
I told Jerry I was going to go to BofH's and he offered to take me. When we got there I ended buying some Del Pardo fire equip, Toyota Landcruisers, Welly Mustang's, .While we were there we ran into Larry with Boley which led to me spending even more money on vehicles after spending Saturday with Larry I ended up @ Arnies in Westmister where I picked up several Athearn telesquirts , pumpers, and Mack mixers. They have numerous vehicles from the Athearn openhouse on sale I paid 9.98 for the Telesquirts, 6.98 for the mixers, 8.98 for the pumpers.
All in all a very expensive weekend but a large thanks to Jerry for all of his help because without him I wouldn't have picked up so many great vehicles for me and the kids.Oh also picked up 6 of each color of the fresh cherries mustang's and Hornets at Wal-Mart here in Anahiem.

Along with a whole bunch of lesser vehicles, I received two little treasures this week:

Herpa Opel Corsa 2-türig Stufenheck - The Corsa with a trunk. I have had a really hard time finding one of these.

Red Line Ferrari 550 Barchetta, black. Absolutely lovely, and since it is a drop top, one can really admire the work that went into the interior. Fantastic paintjob.

Dear All:

The were avaliable at 99 Cents Store for a while now, so I got one: Construction equipment by Boley. Up to now I only saw two types and all at the same collor; got one of them today (a mechanized driller of some sort).

At Dollar tree, I got an Agricultural tractor, a skid-steer loader and a Combine; boxed items, by Toy Zone. These were also avaliable at Wal Mart for a good while, but I think it was time to liquidate the inventory.

Guys:

Stopped by BHofH on my way through L.A. this afternoon and picked up the new RICKO sheriff charger, and the RICKO BMW M6 in burgundy. They also only had about 6 or 8 of the RPS Fords left on the shelf.
