G, did you get those from Shapeways?

That's funny Timmy.

Well I couldn't stand it anymore and had to pull the trigger. I probably won't get to it for a while but at least it's in the stash. Maybe waiting for the next modern, Navy, carrier GB. I'm really starting to get into modern (Cold War, present) AC.

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

I made the mistake, of teaching my dog to scratch-build.

So he made me 9 of these...

Hot off the 3-D printer is Falcon 3D's Star Wars gang going for a ride to Mos Eisley.  These figs are meant to be used with Revell Germany's 1/14.5 (??!!) X-34 Landspeeder.  Falcon 3D claim the kit is more like 1/19.5 (what is WRONG with you Revell Germany?), so the figures are scaled accordingly.  1/19.5 is close enough to 1/20, so I'm happy.

https://flic.kr/p/P8h26K] [/url]Landspeeder Figs by N.T. Izumi, on Flickr 

The tiny bit in the foreground are Obi-Wan's fingertips - the Force must have been strong during shipping!  But everything came in massive balls of bubble wrap, so it's puzzling why they are detached.  But it will be easy enough to fix.

The RoG Landspeeder is toyish and pre-painted, but like others have demonstrated, with a little TLC and a new coat of paint, can be made to scrub up nicely.  So until Bandai decides to do one in standard car scale (1/24), this one is the kit you are looking for.  Now move along.

 

wow G they look awesome!

Gideon didn't have to use any putty on the seam's..... and as far as I know, didn't look at the instruction's once !

Whiniford chose the color's, and did the exterior "Flocking".

I unexpectedly scored this awesome kit off of a FB auction. I'd never seen nor heard of this kit before. It's a sweet short run multi-media kit. Got it for a bid of $30.00 when there was a "Buy It Now" option for $50.00. I knew for sure that someone would take that option. But, alas, my bid stuck! The seller was not a real happy camper that this went so low. Oh well, my gain.Big Smile

 

Very cool! I'm starting to really like Italian aircraft and their amazing camo schemes. You got a great deal there too!

My Wife my son and I were at Ikea over the weekend helping him transport some furnature that he bought when we were just looking at stuff and I happened to mention as we passed the cabinet section that this would be great to display my models in,  never in my life did I expect her to say "well get it" !!! I about fell over.

Well now I have to find a place to put it!

John

I actually got the one with black wood.

 

Very nice addition John. I pretty much felt the same way when my wife supported me when I found the huge cabinet I got a few months ago. I've got to say that the level of excitment of getting a new display cabinet is second only to bringing home a new kit.Big Smile

Hi,

After seeing some really nice recent builds of older passanger planes by Don Stauffer, GMorrison, and Greg Bale in the Airliners and Civil aircraft forum, I let my impulses get to me and went out and bought a copy of the Glenco/ITC Curtiss Condor, as shown below.  It especially appealed to me because it can be built as a plane used by Adm Byrd on an Antarctic expedition.  Unfortunately I know I won't be able to get to this kit for awhile, since I have recently signed up for a couple group builds, but I am looking forward to getting to it eventually Stick out tongue

That is an impressive kit PF. That will build up into one gorgeous aircraft. Choice score indeed.

Ewww, coolous and groovious Stick out tongue.  Does it come with the white cats too?

 

Lol, it would have been cool but nope- it's just the standard kit but molded in those gawdawful colours.

It does come with the cat decals including a big 'meow'.

John: Always good to have somewhere to display your work. I end up having to shove most of mine in boxes in the basement... Embarrassed

PF: Ohhhhhhh, very cool!!! Looks great in that scheme and the Antarctic expedition sounds even better!

This came in for me today. We have a gift exchange for our IPMS club Christmas party and a random lucky person will get this!

Yes, it's molded in Pepto-Bismol pink with violet tracks. Kinda makes my stomach roll just looking at it... Ick!

Glad to see you back Joe, nice haul.

The DVII, Alaska and Cat are on me list,  especially the D version of the Cat

 

These were very high on my wishlist as well. Although it still cost a chunk of change, each one was decent deal and hard to pass up.
