I went to HL for a circle stencil. That's all. I picked this up from the shelf and told myself no. You know the rest.
Looks like it'll build up to a staggering 2-3 inches tall.

Wow again nice stuff guys! Big kudos to you Keavdog for that huge haul! And Tankboy51 being able to replace lost models- glad to hear too you're doing better now.

My latest model kit acquisition:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” - John 3:16-17
A few months ago my dad gave me a Guillows Sopwith Camel balsa wood model that he started but never finished. He completed one of the wings... about 30 years ago. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I want to try to finish it.
In the meantime, I figured I'd learn more about the camel by building the roden camel comic night fighter which the mailman recently delivered.
I ordered paint based on the color recommendation on the box but I've been hard pressed to find a photo (there are some really old photos where it's difficult to tell what colors were used) or other paintings of the depicted paint scheme. I did find examples of other schemes for the night fighter though. All of this could be used to my benefit I suppose, as more discriminating viewers will have a harder time proving my choices wrong.
While searching for different color schemes, I fell into a few youtube black holes about this plane. The engine was pretty interesting. Sounded very interesting and had an effect on handling.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the build.
Thanks for the heads up. Like the Hummel, i have been planning on getting one of the Dragon Elefant kits, but have been moving away from them lately. Might have to look into the tamiya.
I know what you mean about the price, i tend to buy the 2 figure sets as it works out a bit cheaper and i can always find a use for a good figure.

GreySnake, how does that Elefant look, i still need to get one of those. The leclerc is somthing we don't see often.
I do like Alpine figures.
Mopar Madness Bish, I’ve heard that Hummel is superb.

I had read some positive reviews and it does look very nice.
Mopar Madness Bish modelcrazy Bish John, can you imagine if somone actually totaled up whats been spent on this thread so far. My guess is over 10 grand. My stuff alone is over $1000, and 95% of them were on sale! Over the 2 years of this thread, i bet mine isn't far off that. I think it’s best we just don’t think about it! Lol!

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I had planned on getting the Dragon Hummel for years. But i have been going off their kits and with this new Tamiya one coming with figures which fit the dio idea i have always had in mind since getting the CH kit, it was a no brainer.

This is an expensive thread! Cool kit bish, if I dabble back into armor I will go for those open gun platforms. Really like them and the figure possibilities.
Thanks,
John
Keavdog, LOVE the 747, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
My wife just let me order the 35th Trumpy Moser Gerat on rail transport for my b-day.
I look in to this thread often....and to no big suprise you folks ALWAYS show something I think I need to add to my stash.....yes Bish you to with the Tamyia Hummel. Forgot I wanted it until I saw yours. Of course I still beed to finish the one a friend gave me but....
we're modelers it's what we do
Nice haul John, happy B-Day.
Haven't added anything new to the stash for a while. I have been after a Hummel for a few years to go with the Cyber Hobby Munitions carrier, and opted for the new Tamiya kit.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Very nice additions to your stash!!
Jeff
On The Bench: Coming Soon
Oh wow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Great haul!
Birthday haul!
And this monster - didn't realize how big it was going to be
Same scale 737
I just received the new Broncos 1/35 M19 A1 40mm gmc. It's very nice and complex. I have built the Duster from Bronco so it will be a nice companion to it. I also bought a Tamiya 1/35 Pzfpkw 2ausf C, to replace one I did build several years ago, but was boxed up, with 4 other kits and then lost. I hope to find them. It has been 5 years and I have looked everywhere for them. My wife and others had to move my built models to make room for a new bed for a medical emergency I had. They did a great job, except for those 5 kits. I've rebuilt 2 of them. I'll probably find them all when I've redone them all. But one is out of production right now. Oh well, c'est la vie. (By the way, I'm better now.)
Gamera: I’ve looked at the Meng set a few times and it doesn’t do much for me. Two of the figures in the set have the (Schutzweste Infanterie) or Infantry Protective Vest, which is standard issue for troops stationed in hostile areas. If I want to be 100% accurate I couldn’t use those figures in something such as a Leopard since the issue of the vest to my knowledge.
Cool stuff guys!
German Armour: Nice haul there! Those Alpine figures are amazing, the detail on them is incredible.
Grey Snake: Nice sets of figures there! I picked up this set of modern German tankers. I like yours better, the Meng has two figures in winter uniform and two in summer. So you can only use two figures out of the set in any tank...
I bought stuff.

The alpine and verlinden figures I bought for a really good price! The amount of detail is pretty amazing on alpine.
Never give up, never quit, never stop modelling.
Mopar Madness Postman left this at my door today. This will make for a nice winter project.

Nice, i built the Z-1 a few years back. Its a good size but not as big as you would think. Wingspan was about the same as a B-17.
Edit: Tok this at the time as someone had asked about the size and i had not long built a B-17.
it would still be big at 1/72 , does it give dimensions ?
