Birthday additions to the stash
Posted by Bish on Monday, December 5, 2016 2:07 PM

Seeing as Steve posted his new acquisition, i thought i would throw mine in. Its almost 4 weeks since my birthday, but i only got my final pressie today.

The first one was bought by my better half. She has been buying me kits for a few years now and for the previous 2 1/10th busts from Young Minitures. But so far, she had avoided buying anything German. So this year i got a welcome surprise. Well, half a surprise, i was expecting a bust, but certainly not this.

And these 3 i got with the cash i was given. I still snuck them in just to avoid the ''do you really need more'' look.

Been looking forward to this one since it came out. Planning on getting some AM decals and doing a pre war 3 colour camo which i really like.

This i have been after for ages but its really hard to find. There is one on Amazon but thats 200quid. I guess it must be to cover the cost of postage from what ever planet the seller is on. Then just the otehr wek 3 popped up on e-bay all within a few days. And i think i ended up with the best deal.

Now i just have to get the resin launcher to put it on.

And then this arived today all the way from Korea. I normally only build German armour. But i decided a while back to build a few modern British vehicles. This is the second addition after building a Chally 1 last year. Goiung to turn this into a 511 Command with the Accurate Armour conversion.

So, pretty chuffed with my haul this year. I had been pretty good only adding 3 kist to the stash, now i more than double that.

 

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Happy belated Birthday, Bish! That's quite a haul you've got there. 

I got lucky this year when my wife asked if there's a model I want for Christmas this year. So I did what I needed to do and ordered a kit I wanted.
