Okay, okay, I SAID I wasn't going to order anything new till Christmas. 

Well, that's shot now. 

I placed an order with HLJ and all the cool stuff came in last week. I finally got around to taking photos...

Okay, Real G, this is YOUR FAULT!!! It looks like an awesome kit in the box. Looking forward to getting a start on him...

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!  My work here is done.  

LOL Real G! 

Picked up this behemoth from the post office last week. Twenty nine sprues and 1300 plus parts. And if I ever finish it, I then have to find a place to put it.

Oh WOW Cary, that's friggin' epic!!! 

Several new additions to the stash have come in during the last week or so.  Mostly old kits.

And there was no way I was going to resist getting this one:

That TBD is going to be awesome

Picked this up on ebay.  I'd like to see more printed sets like these blackbox resin kits

Nice score John! Ive never tried using one of those Black Box resin sets. Do you plan on building the F-104 soon?

As for myself, since it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago I went looking on eBay for an old kit and put several on my watch list. One seller sent me a 'special offer' and I made a lower counter offer which he accepted. Yee Haw! The kit arrived a couple of days ago, and while the box shows its age, inside the parts trees are still sealed in their plastic baggies and look in excellent condition... It even comes with a water buffalo tank trailer! Now to find some suitable figures to populate it.

Well I blew my modeling budget for the next few months.

I've picked up a bunch of old Monogram kits from eBay and Kitlinx, all of which I built several times as a kid.  And honestly, I think I bought these to add to my boxart collection and to have kits for my new grandson, due in October, to build when he gets old enough.

Yeah, I way over-spent on kits.  So no more posts from me for a while (as I eyeball a couple of ICM kits coming some time this year, a Sally and a Marauder).

Ohhh those are cool guys!!! 

Aggie, I think you're buying the whole hobby store! Love those, the kits I grew up with too! 

I picked up these zimmerit tools off Ali Express. Don't know how they'll work but they're interesting looking:

And again I didn't need to add anything else either but what the heck:

Two 3D printed John Wick figures: this one in 1/10th scale I think - about 6inchs/15cm tall in the chair:

And the standing figure about four inches/ 10cm tall:

Man Stephen, it's like you went back to the five and dime I used to go to when I was 10 and bought out the store!  That should keep you busy for a bit.  Can't wait to see your magic on these.

Ooops, forgot one of those old Monogram kits that I recently grabbed:

OMG!  Back in the sixties they had posters of some select Monogram kits and that Stuka box top was one of them.  The British Typhoon was another one.  Wish I had those posters again.  Monogram's box art definitely motivated me to buy their kits(along with their price)

John: Yeah, I'm really impressed by the likeness. Even better than it's not an official product. 

And those Spits and Ju-87s are cool! I grew up too on those kits! 

A belated birthday present from March, released at last..

Wow that looks cool Pat!

I have a distinct memory from childhood of this great venerable kit. A friend of mine had it and built it. It met the horrible fate typical of models in the possession of eleven-year old boys with too much energy & too limited of an intelligence who also happen to have access to firecrackers. It was a shame because the kid who built/nuked it actually did a fairly good job on it for someone that age. It annoyed me greatly as I'd already become a WW2 buff by that age, and ruining one of the better kits of the era in such a stupid way just seemed so wrong. 

What a great kit from our youth.  The rotating ball turret and when you opened the bomb bay doors the torpedo dropped out!  Parents would buy it for you on Friday night at Woolworths and by Saturday afternoon you were "playing" with it with your friends.  What fun back then when you didn't count rivets or worry about super accuracy.

Bought as seen/already opened.

I'm not much of an auto guy but you find the coolest stuff Pat!

Cool Pat.  Who makes that one?  A little inspiration

That's Fujimi, keavdog and low priced being sold by a charity ebay auction.

Just delivered from ebay. These are some of my most popular kits as they are easy to build and come in various styles or enable conversion. The date on the box is 1975 and the price sticker was £1.35!

Last night was our IPMS Chapter swap meet. I took several kits to sell, but there was no interest for my offerings. But I did find this classic. I think between the new Tamiya F-4B, and the not quite as recent Academy F-4B kits, these ones were bound to show up at kit swap meets for now bargain prices…

Love those Hasegawa Phantoms enjoyed building them in the early 2000's,

Enjoy 

Yeah I love those Hasegawa Phantoms, phantastic addition to your collection SP!

Stole this one on Amazon of all places.  I read a great review of this kit and followed a recent build thread.  I've always loved the 240Z - buddy of mine in high school had one.  Back then there were three of us that hung out and it was rock paper scissor to decide who got shotgun.  Third dude had to curl up behind the seats under the glass.... not fun after a night of drinking lol.   Anyhow this kit goes for $55 and I saw it 'used' on Amazon for $21 with free shipping (Amazon Prime).  I was curious and took the risk because of the subject and reviews.  Showed up today and all the parts are factory sealed in their original bags.  Amazed - I will hunt for 'used' kits on Amazon!
