Gamera: Love the Zeros you picked up. That A6M8 is especially choice. Can't say Id ever heard tell of that kit before.

A few new items for my modeling pleasure has come my way.

This was my birthday present from the wife unit. It arrived a few days after my birthday but, was well worth the wait. She be a keeper for sure. I have yet to try them but, I will be giving them a test drive shortly.

Then there is this wonderful combo that I won on auction. Got a great deal on managing to win both.

Hit HL on the way home from getting a sink base cabinet for our kitchen remodel.  Grabbed a few Testors square bottles and a bunch of acrylics in colors I use the most of.  ($150 worth).  Still have to hit the LHS in Salem and a LHS in Beaverton when I go up for a VA appt. next month.

Will pick up the humbrol acrylics for the big Hellcat and Stuka then as well.

Some interesting builds coming up it looks like.

John,

Which version of the GT are you going to do?  If you're looking for something different, go to the Indycals website and click on the IMSA page.  Down at the bottom are some very interesting schemes.

Lewbud, I was going to do the OOB markings, but now I have some thinking to do ;)  thanks for the tip.

That's sharp Joe!

Joe: Ohhhhhh nice IJN Yukikaze!!!

And those pencils look interesting, please let us know how they work out.

Another fun build...............

Oh that's cool Pat! Love these, I need to build another soon! 

Hello Mr Postman! Today my second Eduard Carrier Deck base that I ordered at the same time as the Japanese one came in!!!On a slow boat from England I guess... as that is where the seller on eBay was located.

Just like the IJN one, very nice detailing molded into the surface

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I like that carrier deck plate! Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice deck Stick

Pat, I believe that's adorable than the B17

I received my reward for winning 3rd in Bandai's Galctic Model Contest.

Two Bandai kits. My wife love the Stormtrooper and I'm pretty stoked about the X-wing.

Thanks Steve, there's two more egg planes to be going on with................

Joe,

Very cool scheme.  Not only is it a beautiful car, the team owner is a class act as well.

Pat,

Nice collection of eggplanes you got there!

Stik,

Looking forward to seeing what goes on top of the bases.

Steve,

Nice haul! They even sent you the correct scale X-Wing!

GreySnake,

Nice collection of ground targets and figures. Looking forward to seeing them.

Now for my latest finds. A 1/72 Tamiya F-84E/G along with a set of decals for the 111th FBS when it was stationed at K-2, Taegu, Korea as part of the 136th FBW 5th AF in January, 1952.  I have a 1/72 Fujimi F-4C/D on the way.  I'm halfway there to acquiring one of each a/c type the 111th flew.  Still need to source a P-80C (Sword), F-86D/L (Special Hobby), F-102 (Meng Pres. Bush), Revell F-101B, and MQ-1 Predator (Platz).  I thought that finding decals for the F-84 would be tough, but are almost no aftermarket decals for the P-80 and zero for the Predator.  Looks like I'm learning how to make decals.

Nice Haul - 

Got these two while ordering paint.  The Lincoln should be interesting - not sure how it's a 3 in 1 wagon/convertible but look forward to it.   I'm going to do the convertible to model Early's ride from Kalifornia :)

The Nova is just bad ass ;)

Oh those are cool guys! 

Greysnake: I picked up those Plamax Russian tank crew figures too. I love that lady in the short skirt- she looks like some sort of Russian seductress from a James Bond movie! 

Man, you folks have been gathering up some really cool stuff.

Stik: Love those Eduard bases. I have the U.S. carrier deck and the Marston mats. They are really nice. I guess i should actually pull them out and paint them up and ready for use.

Keav: That Lincoln definitely is an interesting one. Curious myself.

My latest is this gem I got off ebay still sealed for an extremely reasonable price. Been wanting this for many years. Glad to pull the trigger on one as a bargain.

Ah yes, the I-400. I've had my eye on that for the stash for some some myself.

Yeah, I love that I-400 Joe! 

Lots of new goodies here guys, but I think that Graysnake takes the prize!

The postman has brought these in the past couple of days

More is due in soon...

I haven't made any new additions since Feb. So that combined with me selling off a few kits i have realised i have no interest in, i decided to add a couple of new additions to my 35th armour stash. One is coming from China so might take a while bt the other is more local and arrived today. Another kit for my post war British armour collection and my first Korean war subject.

SP: Ohhhhhhh love that Ki-100. I still love those Arii/Otaki kits- a little old but they're still excellent quality kits.

Bish: That's awesome too! I thought about picking up one for John 3:16's Korean War GB but decided to go with something I already had in the stash.

If i had bought this kit last year i probably would have joined that GB. But as it is, this will have to join the queue.

Hutch, i have never really read anything on the korean war, but i should really. When i was much much younger, there was a male nurse who lived in our close who used to fix up all us kids when ever we injured ourselves. When i was about 10, my stepdad moved in with us and i knew he had served in Korea and been a guest of the Chinese in one of their camps. It was only years after he moved in that he and the nurse realised they had both been in the same camp at the same time. They have both passed away now and i have no idea where my stepdad was captured, but i know it wasn't somthing he liked to talk about. Its deffinetly a forgotten war.

Hope you will post some pics of those builds and that u-boat. I have bilt their 1/125 kit and will soon being doing a 72nd version.

Bish

Hope you will post some pics of those builds

I've only finished the Churchill so far, and haven't a clue about posting photos - I'll have a look on the technical guidance pages (from which I may or may not benefit!).

    Cheers,

              Hutch.

Yet another ebay UK auction win...............

Oh and as I'm building more egg type kits at present, I bought some 10cm long plastic eggs! So I can try and build some eggstraordinary egg planes of my own!

Pat: Good score there! And I love the idea of building your own egg planes.
