BTW. You can't "BLOW YOURSELF UP' with one of these ?  ....... Can you?.....

LOL no

I'm curious how well that air compressor works. I have one of those airbrushs and it isn't bad. But don't care for suction feed though.

I have only used an airbrush twice in my life, 15 year's ago, and it was a borrowed one at that so this will be an "Experiment" for me. I will let you all know how it work's......

LittleTimmy,

Bish,

That's a good looking kit. Is it on the water???

So my Birthday was on the 31st but we couldn't get to town for shopping untill today. We eventually wound up at Harbor Freight and my wife met me at the checkout stand with this. My birthday gift.

Well I couldnt pass up a chance to get more paint so I told her "I dont have any airbrush paint" ( I have ton's of paint ) that's how I also scored these.

Unfortunately for me her birthday and Christmas are both in the same week. And since she is "Gung Ho" on getting the new house finished it's probably going to set me back  a living room set...... And a refridgerator...... possably a set of track light's too.

Very cool purchase. I love those guys. Hope you can get him done soon. Just an observation, and maybe its me,  but is the frown he shows on the package more pronounced than the actual kit figure .

Bish

I sure will when i get to it.

Looks like thats gong to be an interesting dio.

 

I hope it's interesting, My plan is to a "Air Assualt" dio of the Army's 101st Screaming Eagles division. My dad was in the 101st, and had gone through and received his air assualt wings. So my plan is to do a helo in motion and the soldiers at ready on the skids to rapel. If you remember I was hunting down the Huey UH-1. I am on a backorder list to get one when Dragon gets back in stock. Like the photo below.

These are the Air Assualt wings

This is my plan, but with just 2 soldiers on each side standing ready with a deck observer.

Carlos was an immense help tp me about this dio. He provided a lot of information to me so I could be as realistic as possible. 

I sure will when i get to it.

Looks like thats gong to be an interesting dio.

Bish,

That is a great looking kit...I sure hope you post that build.

I recently acquired these for a diorama I have in mind. Just waiting for Dragon Models to get back in stock their 1/35 Huey UH1-D so I can start building the dio.

Just got this in, my first plastic kit from Brengun. I also got a set of Xtradecals for an aircraft based at Ludham, Norfok. 30 down, 7 to go.

The past week acquisitions. A few weeks ago I heard TankerBuilder mention Lindberg Coast Guard patrol boat. Saw it a local Ollies and bought 3 boats for $30. (Bundled some OlliesArmy coupons). My niece, the future architect, said I need to branch out from tanks and planes. The Corsiar I picked up at DrugMart, an Ohio chain, for $8. And finally the Grant I picked up at my LHS which is closing at the end of the month. Merry Christmas to me!

thanks, the KC will go with the same scale BUFF I was doing for the secret santa GB.  Their both my vintage.

 Nice score. The C130 looks like a neat little build. 

The Eagle is for the Interceptor GB, and the other two were in the clearance bin at HL last night when I went to get paint for the F-15. For under $15 each on the Minicraft's couldn't pass them up

Thanks Griffin25,

The yellow boxed kits are from Dragon and,with a few exceptions are very good. Patience is a must with photo etch, so is a steady hand.

RX7850

Been awhile since I last posted,but now that I am using a new photo hosting site (See Ya P.B!) I thought I would post up. Went to a model show in N.H Saturday and was fortunate enough to score a great deal with the vendor that I have done business with in the past. Due to personel reasons he was getting out of the model scene and as a result I bought all the braille scale he had. On our way out my son and I recieved a few chuckles from on lookers as we excused ourselves in order to avoid colliding into fellow patrons while nimbly balancing four huge boxes overflowing with kits. As an added bonus a halfdozen of the kits contained aftermarket details and several boxes had two kits in them. I also like all the latest procurements everyone has been able to parley keep them coming.

 

Holy mackerel! Nice score bud. Love the Braille. What manufacturer is the yellow boxes? I can't make it out without my glasses. Braile PE is a good way to work on a persons patience 

Hey Real G.....

That is too COOL!  I showed that to my wife and now, apparently" I'm supposed to get one too. ( not for me.... For her...... That's my story and I'm sticking to it! )

Just how are you supposed to "weather" a cooty  anyways?

See?  It's like spreading cooties!  That's why I like the forum.

"Ya, ya, unicorn papoi!"

I haven't been active on the forums lately, but I wanted to share this:

Sorry it's just a link; I still don't know how to paste urls from the phone.  Me so stupid.

This was an impulse buy while going through Retrokit's site looking for legitimate stuff - honest!

 

Thats somthing different. And thanks for the info. I thought Retro had gone out of buissness as i was watching some of the AM Star Wars sets on Starship modeller, but then they vanished. Never thought to look for their own site and now i have and they have the ones i was looking for.

Thanks.

Missed it somehow. I hope to make it to Baycon 2017 and ValleyCon 2018.

plasticjunkie, Looks like you going to be busy for a while with that one.

RX7850

Thats a good deal. Just curious what show did you go to, trying not to miss any near me this year.

 

Armorcon up in Danbury Conn.back in Sept

I have several Dragon Tigers in the stash but had to get this Takom KT Pz.Abt. 505 w/ Zimm (Special Edition). Got it on Ebay for $64 shipping included from California. This is not for the faint at heart with a high parts count possibly several hundred parts.

Full interior included down to the interior stencils

And that deadly 88

Thats a good deal. Just curious what show did you go to, trying not to miss any near me this year.

Nice haul. Like the Hetzer and M3 Lee. I did see a review video of the Lee kit. Supposedly, there were some minor fitment issues with the upper angled hull plates so be on the look out.

 

Thanks for the heads up,there is a build blog on Armorama I will be checking out.

Got the Hetzer at a show for $20 has workable tracks !!

I ordered the screens, zim, and indies to go with the KT And I made a stop by HL to get some supplies and grabbed the Tamiya Hanomag 251/1.

I'm contemplating a diorama.

 

 

 

 

By Hanomag i am guessing you mean the old Tamiya 251 Ausf C.

 

 

 

 

Tamiya yes. Ausf C? Doesn't say. 

The weird thing is that the half track is molded in dark grey, but the figures are molded in dark green. I've never seen Tamiya do that in one box. Like Matchbox. Weird.

 

Ye, that is the old Ausf C kit. Thats the only kit that used the term hanomag.

I am not sure why they did that with the figures. They were included in a seperate set of figures, but those came along quite some time after the halftrack was released.

I ordered 5 items the other day and 3 have arived.

It's part of my shift to 1/72 armor and 1/144 aircraft.

That Merkava is big compaired to my Strumtiger. Not being a tanker, I had no idea these guys were this big.

I'm still waiting for a Revell F-5 and F-14A, both 1/144.
