Oh wow Gam, that look totaly cool! Too bad I'm not doing a Korean ship build 

Although, I have been thinking of an everybody else ship build after the Japanese.

Thanks guys!

Dunno when I'm going to start on her. I might jump the gun before you get the Anybody Ship GB up and running. I'll have to see, I really do want to get the LCT done for your GB first and I owe Bish a Han Solo for his Star Wars GB too.

I've never seen that one. That is a seriously cool looking ship!

I forgot the biggest raffle win to my stash.

Oh I missed this one... Vampire! Vampire! Vampire!

what an awesome score!

Gamera... That is going to be a big one based on the size of the dragon head.

picked this up at hobby Lobby.   not my usual thing at all,  but it's kinda cute.  there were 2 tractors at our yearly show last year so when I saw this I couldn't resist.  Looks like there is a lot to learn about weatheing a farm vehicle!

Chad: Yeah, I don't think many have heard of them outside Korea. I'm just into anything weird, bizarre, or unexpected. 

GH: It is a big model in 1/65th scale- about 60cm/2ft. long and 46cm/1.5ft. tall. There's a number of smaller kits out there but I really wasn't impressed by their lack of detail, they looked more toy-like to me than this huge one. 

I just got the new Takom 1/35 Jagdpanther G1 with zimmerit and full interior, lots o' parts.  I've been sort of addicted to the Jagdpanther since I first saw it on the art work of  it in 1970 or so in the game Panzerblitz.  So far I've built all the kits of them, Tamiya, (first edition),  Nichimo, Italeri, Dragon, early and late, even a few 1/72 and 1/48 scale ones.  I've also have the "hi-tec" version.  One vehicle I don't get bored with.  Very wierd.  I still have to get the G2 version they have done, and the Meng version.  Good greif! Hold still my budget and my building time.

Had a great time at Modelpalooza. Met Eagle90 and ikar01, great guys.  Here's my haul

John: That's really cool. I've got to pick-up of those one day. I don't really like auto modeling since most of the time they're expected to be shiny and clean. I think I could go to town weathering and dirtying up an old farm tractor. Wish I had some photos of my grandpa's old machine... 

Tankboy: I hope you post photos when you finish her. 

TJ: Nice haul there. And congrads on getting to meet Bobby and Ikar! 

Johnny, those should keep you going till the next show.

It's been nigh on a month since I've checked in to see what you all have been accumulating and, wow, I am duly impressed.

Steve: That is an incredible haul of boats you got. Especially nice score on the Hood. 

Gamera: That Turtle ship is awesome. Also, nice new airbrush. How's it working out? I'm a Badger man myself but, always like to see how other mosels perform.

Bish: Glad to see you got your hands on the new Buccaneer. Look forward to your build up on that one.

Real G: You've been doing right well. Nice collection of Wingnut kits. Also, that how to book on tissue paper insects is really cool and unique. Br interested how you do on some of those.

To everyone else, bravo on the ongoing fabulous additions. Great stuff here folks. Always giving me new ideas.

Cheers! Joe

Joe: I did a marathon airbrushing session (about four hours or so) two weeks ago it the new airbrush worked really well. A few short sessions here and there and I'm really happy with it so far. 

A few years ago i bought the Revell 72nd Type IX U-Boat, the U-505 kit. But my intention had been to back date it and build it as the U-156. Unfortunatly the sets i had hope for never came out. So when Revell announced earlier this year that they were bringing out an early version of the Type IX, i was well pleased. But i had to decide whether to keep the other kit. After a few months trying to make my mind up, i figured that 2 72nd U-Boats was plenty, so i sold the U-505 on e-bay, geting more than i paid for it and as it turned out a little more than the new kit would cost me.

I got my hands on the kit today, it was only released last week. I already have the decal for the U-156, but it will be some time before i build it, the Type VII will be first. But at least i have it.

Bish, that will take up just a bit of shelf space! 

About time I update my stash activities over the past few weeks. Definitely added some sweet styrene goodness to my shelves of dreams.

Got mine. Arrived last Monday. Upon inspection I am taken aback by this impressive kit. 

I finally acquired a kit that I have wanted since it's release. At the time, it was beyond my finances. It was now high time I added this beaut:

I've also added these choice selections:

Joe, I bet that 115 will take up some serious shelf space! I'm interested to see how that new 109 goes together.

Great kits!  I'm going to get the p-38 for xmas - or my wife has failed..lol.   Love to see the spru shots/build for the 115.

Joe, yes, displaying these is an issue, which is why i think 2 of these big kits is enough. And i know that the GATO is even bigger than the U-Boats.

U-156 was the boat which sank the SS Laconia and so kicked off the Laconia incident. It was one of those events in WW2 when the Germans acted decently, and the Allies, lets just say, did not. Yet of course we hardly hear of it.

Nice haul there Joe. That 115 is a great looking subject, i still want to add a 72nd one. And looking forward to that Stuka of course.

Your not kidding. I have a couple of shelves reserved for this and the Type VII.

I'll try and get you some sprue shots. The apparent issues with the 115 kit are the attachment points for the wings. There aren't much of any. Looks like some scratch built bracing will be required. Otherwise, a dandy looking kit..

Oh wow Bish, I didn't know Revell had come out with a new Uboat.

Bish

lets just say, did not. Yet of course we hardly hear of it.

What a great score Joe

Yeah, no sooner do I mention that I don't have display space for the 1/72 Gato and then see one for auction on FB and actually consider bidding on it. I can honestly say that if that arrived in the post the wife unit would give me a soul wretching stink eye for that one. Not sure I'm willing to go through that. Or, just maybe......

Yeah, that Stuka D-5 caught my eye. I've got a couple of the old 1/72 Matchbox 115's in my stash complete with all the AM goodies I could find. Actually one of the builds I'm still anxious to get into.

It was announced at the start of the year but a guy i know from the model club who is big into u-boats hinted at it a few years back. That was before Revell went bust but i was glad to see the new buyers release it. Unfortunatly it won't be making a showing in your German ships GB but the Type VII will.
