JOE RIX,

What scale are those ships? I'd really like to get my hands on 1/350 American CL.

[/quote]They are both 1/700 scale, Bruce. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Dragon has a 1/350 USS Juneau. It seems to me I've seen it somewhere before.

It appears everyone is doing a stellar job of enhancing their stashes. There are some really impressive acquisitions. Nice job folks.

I've been lagging behind here lately. Mainly due to having to spend rather unexpected time shoveling snow here the desert. But, it's worth it as we are desperate need of the water. 

I have scored a few kits between shifts though.

Tonight I bought an Airfix rarity. Ive been patiently waiting for this rare RAF jet that could have been a magnificent addition to the RAF stock. But, it wasn’t meant to be as misguided politics shut down the program.

 

I didn't know they made that in 1/48! I'm drooling here, MM! Nice find.

Looks like you all have made some shop upgrades in both plastic and equipment.

Hi,

Today while at Micheals craft store I picked up a 3 shelf rolling cart to help me organize and store some of my model building stuff.  For now I have separated my decals, photo etch and other accessories on one shelf, my paint brushes, files, sandpaper and sanding blocks on another, and paints on the last shelf.  Hopefully tomorrow I can try and pick up some cheap "no-name" tupperware like bins to better sort the stuff, and also protect the metal shlves a little.  I guess it doesn't really count as a "model kit", though some assembly was required.

PS.  Ooops, I almost forgot, I also picked up this length of chain for $3-4, or so.  It looks to be close to 20 links/inch or so I hopefully may be handy for use either as a tow chain for some tank kits I am building or even anchor chain for small ship kits.  I just have to see if I can tarnish or tint it darker.

I have been sooooo busy at work, That I made too much money. ( my wife claimed it all ..... but she missed some.)

So I ordered these from Hobbylinc.

And then.... my wife "Suprized" me, with another workbench.

I dont know how to tell her, that I dont have any time to build anything at the workbench I already have.......

( But I will take it .... and just shut up ! Who know's what else she will buy me ,... out of guilt ! )

Gonna haveta make some adjustment's in the shop, to fit it all in...

Rambo & Est. 1961: Nice hauls there!!! 

Est. 1961: Your photo doesn't show on my screen but I can see it by clicking on it. Dunno what's going on there. 

Ted: Eggcellent! (sorry )

Two GB kits arrived along with a Morgan yesterday pictured with others I've added since the end of last year. Demands at work and home have eased off the last couple of years hope to spend more free time on modeling.

Great haul Clint!  I bet that 229 box is loaded with plastic!

 

 

 

 

oh it is I can't wait to start on it, it even has clear parts to show of all the internal detail.

 

IIRC - Toshi built that one awhile back.  Might dig up his build log on it as an aid.  I think it went together fairly well.

Yep.  I did it.  

All the way from Japan.

Some more nice additions Chad. I have the Nimrod as well, it is a biggy.

 

 

 

 

I guess I should add the TSR2 to the Holy Grail claim. EBay prices are out of control for that one.  Hopefully we’ll get a re-release in the coming years. 

 

 

I'll second that, i have been keeping my eye out for one. Though i think that was designed before the 2006 Hornby take over, i think the Nimrod was one of the first of the new breed of kits.

picked a few things up at the IPMS Blizzcon show

I couldn't believe the price on the North Carolina book, when I asked the guy he said he had a entire crate of them and he's selling them at 50% profit

Two loves in one here a Bf110 and a night fighter

Another great night fighter kit Then the best deal I got at the show

I need to do a lot of research on this one before I go starting on her. I had also won three kits in the raffle, a Russian jet, a Revell German Leopard tank and the Incredible Hulk I ended up giving all three to kids who had entered models into the show since they was things I knew I would never build.

John, it was lastreleased by Airfix in 2000, with a Swedish aircraft on the box. So as Chad says, e-bay is your best option. But it would not surprise me if Airfix re-released it, i can't see this being a big candidate for a new tooling.

Unfortunately they do not. Your best chance of finding one is eBay. I’m sure at some point they will re-release a new tool version. If we’re lucky they will make it 1/48 scale!

A couple more additions from this past week. For me, the Nimrod is the Holy Grail of Hornby era Airfix kits. The Bulldog is not...

Nice scores Mopar! The Canberra and Nimrod are big suckers!

I don’t know what looks sillier, the egg shaped U-boat or the surprise look on that fishes face!  I’ve seen a few pictures of these built and they are pretty funny to say the least!

Picked this up for Gamera's up coming GB.

Nice kit Ted, if you can wait till Aug, I'm continuing my ship group builds by adding American Ships.

 

 

My calendar is marked.  I'll have to shuffle the queue around a bit.  I got stuck on a-10 videos on YouTube today so maybe I'll try to build one in the meantime.  What an awesome plane.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrtttt!

WOW!! 1/17 scale Hasegawa!

DD, you never saw a 1/17 hasegawa kit? Huh

Doies anyone else have the feeling that Chad likes Airfix kits. 

I'm begining to get that impression. I have no room to talk, most of my pruchases lately have been 1/17 Hasegawa 

WOW!! 1/17 scale Hasegawa! Those must be YUGE kits!!    Heeheehee!!

Steve you can open up a hobby shop and sell 1/72 scale Hasegawa kits!    That Mig 23 looks quite promising!
