Thank you Bruce, I had a great night and I look forward to the builds...I want to start on the "Nashorn" when I finish with the GB I'm in right now.

      I enjoyed the post.  I smiled when you stated that you had a "small" stash, and laughed when you said you would be busy for the next "two" years.  The adjectives and numbers will only increase from here.  I bid you a sincere wecome to our addiction.                                                                                                                        gk

Thank you Knox - 

I am grateful for the people in my life and couldn't thank them enough last night. With these kits I will be busy for awhile (LOL)  especially at the pace I build (LOL). Thank you again Knox.

What a haul! Happy birthday too you Hunter! She's a keeper!

Nice haul, and some nice looking armour there. I seemed to have missethe Tamiya release of the Elefant, and i still need to get one of those, so will watch out for that build.

Very nice haul

Hello BlackSheep214 - 

Thank you very much...and yes she is. Jill has been more excited about me taking up this hobby then I could have guessed.

The wife and friends are keepers for sure.  Heavy Arty here will be a wealth if info on the armor builds as well as the Huey.  I have to build two of those, one for a bud who was a CC on them and was in Crandal's outfit over there (couple of years later though), and one as Crandal's bird for the vets home here.  It needs some work and additions to be an accurate rendering of his.

Nice going, you are going to have to have birthdays more often, like every six months or so.

Good day Bish - 

If the Tamiya Elefant is like the other Tamiya kit I have already built, it is going to be a fun build...I'll make sure to do a WIP so you can see what the kit consist of and get your thoughts and suggestions. The Nashorn is the one I can't wait to build. Definitely going to do a Winter dio on it.

That will be nice for your first armour build. I passed on the tamiya kit and wnet for the Cyber Hobby and AFV kits, but i have seen that tamiya build before and it is a nice kit. Tamiya are nice and dependable.

I agree with you on it being a good start into the armour arena. As time goes by I want to purchase kits that involve higher difficulty and some PE. Plus a great thing about these builds is the research I'll get to do to ensure I do it correctly. 

I'll I need to complete the collection is a "251 half track" 

research is half the fun, but don't worry, with some of the guys on here, doing it correctly is not a problem. But the main thing, just enjoy it. There's plenty of time to start stressing about accuracy

251, yes, i think i have heard of those, i might even have one myself.  

Happy Birthday Hunter!  Nice stash of gifts.  No duplicates? They must have passed the word around so they didn't double up on them.  It's great that you have a wife that supports your hobby.  It really makes life a lot easier.

I've built Jeeps and trucks but never a tank.  I'll have to keep an eye on your builds and maybe I'll give it a try some day.

O ye, i missed the important bit.

Happy Birthday.

Definitely will do sir. I have really enjoyed my time so far. "251" isn't that a oversea's dialing code? LOL!

LOL....no worries friend. Thank you, we got to talking about German armour and got carried away

Thank you Jim - 

I don't know how they pulled it off without the duplicates...knowing my wife she informed all of them of my wish list and they decieded which one's to get. I would have been grateful for just one of these great kits.

LOL GH - 

That would be all right with me if I could pull it off I am grateful for everyone in my life and I really had a great time last night sitting around my dinner table with all my friends and my misses.

PLEASE post photos of your two builds, I would love too see them. Thank you again GH and I hope you are well.

A belated happy birthday, nice haul and looking foward to your builds. ( Great Family.)

tempestjohnny

Happy birthday. Nice haul. Since when did you start building targets. And I thought we had trained you correctly

 

LMHO TJ!!

First, thank you! I am trying to have an open-mind to my building genre(LOL) I still bleed Red,White & Blue! Even the German's need love

Thank you Templar, thank you very much!!

Friend Hunter -

WOWZZA, hot dang, you fell into a pile of plastic and came up smelling like styrene. That stash will keep you busy for at least a weekend.

You married well, lad, struck gold when you found her. Mine is understanding about my hobby, (or at least tolerant,) but Thursday I caught heck for coming home with yet another Squadron book and two new kits, 140+ in the stash. Had to take dog for unusually long walk, actually should have gone longer as it turned out. (Joke.)

I'm very pleased that you have taken up the hobby in earnest, Dad Jeff would be pleased to see your accomplishments. Glad to see your WIP posts, great looking work. 

Patrick

Hot Damn!!!

Happy Birthday!

I haven't so much as gotten a single kit from family/friends in YEARS (at least 15)!

Hello Patrick - 

Yeah Jill is a gem...If I'm not careful she will be completing my builds while I'm at work or expanding my bench so she can have her own builds.(LOL)

Sorry too hear you got sent to the dog house for adding to your stash, next time bring home something she likes to soften the blow of 2 or 3 new kits 

Hope you are well,

Hunter
