Thanks Keavdog John, kinda getting my feet wet as a car modeler. I'm thinking about building the thing up as a Road Warrior type after the bomb vehicle.

Jeaton John: Ohhhhhhhh love that Zero, it's a friggin' gem of kit. You'll enjoy this one!!!

Gave myself this one for Christmas.  Image from Scalemates cause the grandkids wrapped it up before I could fondle it.

Cool guys!

I removed one kit from the stash for our club gift exchange and ended up somehow with two more kits... Tongue Tied

Just picked this up at my LHS.  Nice kit very detailed. Just the same as their F-18F I just finished that is tha same scale and assembly type,  it says it's kind of a snap together but I glued everything and you would never know.

Does the flower and pot come with it?

 

Nope, but I may get a flower pot to distract the cat.  He thinks this spray booth is a new cat bed.

    That Faun is a real nice kit, had one about 80% complete before a curious kitty and my bad temper put an end to it. The kit is long but actually not real wide so shelf space shouldn't be to bad. If I recall be careful around attaching the cab and structure to the frame....somehow mine was not exactly square and it was troublesome. Am gonna build it again as I have a replacement in my stash.

we're modelers it's what we do

Cool stuff guys! Love that BIG tank transporter Ben and that's a nice spray booth Scott.

 

And despite the air flow I'd still find a way to get paint all over the flower and vase... Stick out tongue

This is what my lovely wife got me for my birthday last week.  It should clean up the air in my workshop a bit.

Ben - You're going to need some serious shelf space for that Faun!

 

Steve - Breakout is an amazing book. Give yourself some time because you won't want to put it down!

I had a set of good books and gook kits from a dear friend who resides right here on this very forum.

Thanks Chad

Two books I've had my eye on for a while.

These are awesome kits as well.

I have a couple leopard tanks and a Marder IFV that will go good with this one.

 

I have had all of the Tamiya 1:12 F1 kits except this one and the Ferrari 641/2 F190. Now it is down to only one.

Chad,

Thanks, I've got the Fujimi Martini 917 on backorder with HLJ.  I also have the Heller 917 somewhere with Martini markings and the Tamiya 935/78 with Martini markings (which need to be replaced).

John,

I had that kit for a while.  Basically the cars are the Tom Daniels Cop Out funny cars with Snake and Mongoose decals.

Got this for a reasonable price on a facebook forum - decals are toast but I found a guy on ebay that makes them.  Always wanted these two since I was a kid - wanna talk about ejector pin marks!!! 

 

 

Thanks,

Went to the mailbox to retrieve what I thought would be the box from the Secret Santa Group Build, but also found that my latest order from HLJ arrived the same day.  While I don't know what's in the Sprue Brother's box, I can share what I got from HLJ.  The first brings me closer to getting the aircraft to finish my 111th FIS build.  The Kinetic MQ-9 Reaper has decals for the 147th ATKW based out of Ellington Field, Houston, TX.  Just need a P-80 and a F-101B and I'll have all the aircraft in the stash.  Will need to make decals for the P-80.

The second is the 1/24 Fujimi Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo #22 which placed 2nd overall in the 1974 Le Mans.  Bought the kit because I've developed a thing for Martini themed race cars.

The third kit is the Aoshima/Beemax Porsche 935 K2 with markings for either of the Vaillant cars. Unlike the K3, they didn't include window masks for this particular kit.  This kit will eventually become the Interscope 935K2, which would win the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1979. I may have to get another one because I really like the green Vaillant car.

Now if the decals I ordered from Wolfpack six weeks ago would get here.

MM those are some really nice pickups. I’ve built the 234/4 it was a pretty easy built for a Dragon kit. The 75mm did give me some trouble with a lot of tiny pieces and the gun shield was annoying to attach. I have the Puma in the stash as well it took me awhile to find one and of course after getting one a lot more showed up on eBay.

Oh you guys are getting some real goodies! 

Grey, the T-35 is one that really appeals due to its land dreadnaught look! 

Chad, the whole 234 family? Sweet!

They're just too unique to pass up. I was always impressed with the Puma since I was a lad. Had the Matchbox kit back in the early 80's.  If I remember correctly it wasn't that bad a kit.
