I used my employee discount for supplies this past week.

Nice stuff there SP! I really the Takom M103!

Thanks G! I've been wanting one since it came out!

I’ve picked up these two items recently

Great stuff there SP! Love that French FT. Such a cool lil tank and so important historically! 

I got a couple new models for my birthday two weeks ago but between posting issues and lack of interest I never got around to posting them.

Awesome trio of destroyers Bill! 

Keep saying I'm going to build a ship but never get around to it...

Lol that's a little much for me G! I started on a 1/350th IJN Shimakaze but didn't get very far.

From my birthday presents to myself from three weeks ago:

IS-7, at 68 tons the biggest heavy tank ever produced by the USSR. Such a weird and wonderful tank, I had to have one. 

Sometime in the future I intend to build a captured/knocked-out Tiger I with some Canadian troops, going to have one of these guys taking a propoganda photo of the soldiers posing with the German tank. 

Dune ornithoper, okay the recent 'Dune' film wasn't the best movie, but I did like the ornithoper had actual flapping wings unlike the flying machines in the Lynch and Sci-Fi Channel versions where they were just fixed-wing airplane type craft. Now a want a set of Harkonnian power armour suits, yeah no where in the novel but I played the 'Dune II' computer RTS so much as a youngster they're burned into my version of Dune now.

And I picked up a number of models at our IPMS show from about a month ago but this one is special.  The Italeri F/G Panzer IV was the first 1/35th armour I ever built, and to my teenage mind my first 'serious' model. This H model I built a few years later in the early '90s about thirty years ago. It's kinda a rush to rebuild the same old kit again all these years later.

Gamera,

We must be brothers from different multiverses!  I also have the IS-7, and was seriously considering the ornithopter kit.  But I dissuaded myself due to the enormous size of the kit.  I believe both Atreides and Harkonnen ornitgopters are around 24"x24", the size of a 1/72 4-engine jet.

G, the Harkonnen ornithopter can be built with the wings folded back along the spine, I'm assuming for transport or storage in a hanger. So it doesn't have to take up too much space. I haven't seen the Atreides one yet. I'd like to pick it up when I do. Can't say I'm interested in the figures though, in my mind Paul Mu'dib Atreides looks a lot like Kyle MacLachian and not this new guy. And the only Chani is Sean Young. 

I do want a 1/72nd 'Beast' Rabbon though so I can have him screaming 'GET THA THOPTER!!!' 

Well I had to keep my 7 year thread going
