Got some paint and stuff. Ran out of black. Can't get enough black. A guy should never run out of black paint. :)

Bought this yesterday:

This is the 5th model kit I've bought (all of them produced by Tamiya). I've made one before, but the finished model was so horrible I threw it away. :guilty: I could have chosen a McLaren MP4/5B, but I chose this instead because it's the car that absolutely dominated the 1988 F1 season.
Not sure if I should have bought it though, considering that I haven't even finished a tenth of my Aston DBS model kit, and I won't be working on this before 2015. Perhaps even later.

Two new purchases; killed two already dead birds with one stone. I had a pair of Skullcandy ear buds that broke after two years and thought I'd try out headphones. Sony MDRZX300. Not bad, but the fit is weird to me.
My last mouse (a Logitech something) started double clicking on EVERYTHING so i got a CMStorm Recon mouse. Only used it for an hour and already love it.
 
I have been Purchasing a lot of Gran Turismo paraphernalia lately (Warning-Large post incoming)

Firstly I purchased a few magazines dated during the GT3 and GT4 era. Most cherished to me is PSM2 issue #2:

DSC05005.JPG DSC05006.JPG

My dad bought me a copy of this back in the day (that copy lies torn and mangled in a box somewhere), and reading it over and over again would be what got me hooked into the series in the first place. Seeing this for sale in a more acceptable condition was an offer too good to refuse

PSM2 Issue #19 'Gran Tursimo Concept'

The first GT I ever played, as my parents were concerned about me getting addicted to GT3 :P. Even for an arcade only spinoff with about 30 extra cars, it was fun and addicting, especially the pod race:

Playstation 2 Official magazine-Australia Issue #36 'Gran Turismo 4'

Playstation 2 Official magazine-Australia Issue #37 'Gran Turismo 4'

I also bought a couple of promo games:

GT4 Prologue Promo

DSC04981.JPG DSC04983.JPG

GT5 Promo

DSC04979.JPG DSC04985.JPG

A couple of games:

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec 3 JP

Still sealed

Gran Turismo 5 JP

$_12.JPG


Not perfect, but only spent about $2.50 more

I also was able to find the GT5 Faceplate that was only available in Europe and Australia/New Zealand:

I should've bought it back in 2010/11 as this was pretty expensive :indiff:

And finally this :D

My first Autoart car, 1:18 scale of the Nissan Skyline R34 Gran Turismo version 2002. Was able to get it for a more reasonable price than what most are being offered for stn (about $150 cheaper including postage)-the only other cars harder to find are the Ford GT's (both of them), which I've seen once in a blue moon for prices over $400 :eek:!
The item itself is in excellent condition; the box has a few minor scuffs and there's a small chip on the edge of the bonnet, but it's not very noticeable

I have been buying other items as well (mainly Adventure Time comic variants), and have more GT paraphernalia along the way...

I have actually had that faceplate since 2010 when it came out! It's looks great on my ps3. I bought it at a gamestop in the US. My tickets also just came in!

It's free on Google Play and my music collection needed expanding. My roomie is going to hate me for playing this album over and over:dopey:
