Yesterday, what I think is my most expensive modelling purchase to date arrived (and there wasn't even a single kit in the box )

Yikes indeed. Good luck with the Voyager PE, i hate the damn things. Wish i had not bought so many before i used one.

Nice haul! Just looking at those Aber PE sets makes my eyes hurt!

Is there anything in particular you dislike that much about them? I've only assembled a Fender set and some tool clamps made by them so far and didn't find them that much worse than Aber's stuff.

Of course the instructions are absolutely terrible, but that seems to be something almost all PE sets have in common.

I would prefer Aber etch, but they simply don't make sets for the tanks in question.

Mainly the instructions, and they seem to include lots more parts than you need and i am never sure if i have missed somthing.

I have stopped buying AM sets now unless i think a kit really needs it. And most of the modern kits don't IMHO. I have thrown to much money away on on stuff when the kit was perfectly fine. The Amusing Hobby sets don't need anything beyond some PE clamps and a metal barrel now and again.

I don't plan on using everything in the sets, just the stuff that makes sense. Imo there are enough usable parts in those sets to warrant a purchase, but I do agree that a lot of it is simply unnecessary.

That was a nice gift from MC.

Its so good to hear he is doing well. I really commend you for being a friend. 

If ever there was a ceiling model, that Sentry could be it.

Yep quite a lot of tank parts there. I sort of did that when I was a model railroader. Whole future train conversions. Then when I left that hobby I was stuck with most of it. 

Nice gifts from Steve.  Picked up the big Hurricane last year from the club sale. I'll be watching for a wip when you get to it.

Hello everyone,

It's been awhile since I could look at this post. Everyone has got some outstanding additions to their stash. Here are a few items I picked up at a local show.

I won this track assembler in a raffle

A friend gave me this kit

I got the 2 Spits for $6.00...could not pass up that deal.

2 1/48 Tamiya Spits for $6 is hard to pass up!

After being invited to Mopar Madness' home for dinner, he also gave me a gift.

The Hasegawa Egg T-4 Blue Impusle.

While at his house, he showed me some 3-D books for some future ship builds of his. I was so impressed that I immediately ordered the Akagi book followed by the Takao, North Carolina and Bismarck books when I returned home. The Bismarck book arived last night.

The Egg will go nicely next the the 1/72 Hase T-4 I did a few years ago for the Demonstration Team GB.

Thank you Chad!

Drifter, that is a great batch of kits! And 2 Tamiya Spits for $6?! Wow! That is just this side of a steal! Way too good to be true!

MC, those look to be some good books. But for the life of me, I cannot fathom the attraction or popularity of those “egg” kits. I know “to each, his own”.... does not compute...

My pleasure friend.  Model club won’t be the same without you!

They're fun, diffrent and quick. A welcome light relief to the serious business of building ships 

On it's way to Yorkshire.

3 kits in one box. Should be a nice set of builds and will take some room up in the cabinet!

Just put my name down for:

Yes.. I am building up my stash!

I hope that V-2 is on its way to Yorkshire via mail and not ballistic flight...

The Maus looks like a nice project....

Yeah, they're the closest thing to a quick cheap and dirty build I've seen yet. And an excellent palete cleanser between more serious items. 

Very cool stuff all around guys! 

Clemens: WOW!!! 

Steven & Chad: Very cool! If you're ever down here lemme know and I'll buy ya'll a cheeseburger..... 

I bet there’s 5 pounds of plastic in that Maus box!

I’d love to have a 1:1 scale version of that Ranch Wagon!

Yep Very cool wagon.Companion build to my AMT 57 Fairlane.  

Nice man!

Thanks I really like it!

A Maus with a full interior. That would take me forever to build.

I have picked up a few smaller kits myself over the past couple of weeks. All Star Wars themed.

MMMMM Nice haul you have.

Curious how the metal kit works out.  I picked this up after watching lawdog's build.  First time GWH kit - looks fantastic on inspection.  Now to match lawdogs paint skills...

Been wanting to get a sea king to do one from the Falklands war for a while. After compareing the Airfix and Cyber Hobby kit, i opted for the latter.

I’ll be curious to see how this one stacks up to the Airfix offering.

I look forward to seeing you put this one together.
