Great stuff there SP! Love that French FT. Such a cool lil tank and so important historically! 

 

I got a couple new models for my birthday two weeks ago but between posting issues and lack of interest I never got around to posting them.

From my birthday presents to myself from three weeks ago:

IS-7, at 68 tons the biggest heavy tank ever produced by the USSR. Such a weird and wonderful tank, I had to have one. 

Sometime in the future I intend to build a captured/knocked-out Tiger I with some Canadian troops, going to have one of these guys taking a propoganda photo of the soldiers posing with the German tank. 

Dune ornithoper, okay the recent 'Dune' film wasn't the best movie, but I did like the ornithoper had actual flapping wings unlike the flying machines in the Lynch and Sci-Fi Channel versions where they were just fixed-wing airplane type craft. Now a want a set of Harkonnian power armour suits, yeah no where in the novel but I played the 'Dune II' computer RTS so much as a youngster they're burned into my version of Dune now.

 

And I picked up a number of models at our IPMS show from about a month ago but this one is special.  The Italeri F/G Panzer IV was the first 1/35th armour I ever built, and to my teenage mind my first 'serious' model. This H model I built a few years later in the early '90s about thirty years ago. It's kinda a rush to rebuild the same old kit again all these years later.

Gamera,

We must be brothers from different multiverses!  I also have the IS-7, and was seriously considering the ornithopter kit.  But I dissuaded myself due to the enormous size of the kit.  I believe both Atreides and Harkonnen ornitgopters are around 24"x24", the size of a 1/72 4-engine jet.

G, the Harkonnen ornithopter can be built with the wings folded back along the spine, I'm assuming for transport or storage in a hanger. So it doesn't have to take up too much space. I haven't seen the Atreides one yet. I'd like to pick it up when I do. Can't say I'm interested in the figures though, in my mind Paul Mu'dib Atreides looks a lot like Kyle MacLachian and not this new guy. And the only Chani is Sean Young. 

I do want a 1/72nd 'Beast' Rabbon though so I can have him screaming 'GET THA THOPTER!!!'

Well, after this weekend’s Andy’s HHQ warehouse sale madness, I walked away with these goodies for myself. 

 

For my ships I picked up this 1/350 Russian SSBN

 

 

And for my armor I picked up these figure sets

 

 

these 1/35 track sets

 

 

and this 1/32 T-34/85

Wow, someone with a heartbeat here!

Carlos, I like the -85.

We have one here at the Monterey Presidio that's in good shape.

Bill, the T-34/85 is really a neat kit. I'm looking forward to building it one day soon. There is a real one at the museum on Camp Roberts, that I believe is in running condition. Or used to be at least when I used to go to that place. They actually have a decent museum there with quite a few rare types. Also at Camp San Luis Obisbo there is a neat armor collection as well.

Tony how are those tracks? I'm not wanting to go the Fruils route, but most injection molded replacement tracks can be exceptionally tedious to work with.
