I needed more figures like another hole in the head but hey, you only live once...

And I love Sprue Brothers flash sales. They're worth watching if you like military kits. I picked up this Dragon late Tiger I for half price.

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and bought something from my new job, now that the employee discount has kicked in. These kits came in during the week, and I just couldn’t say no. Sort of an early birthday present from me to myself ;)

Hi Everyone!

       Well, it's me! (No Pichurs). Got a new for me kit. A ENTEX 1/16 scale Ford Model "T". It's the one with the squared off rear deck so it doesn't have to be built as the "Turtle" deck. It looks like I will have fun with a car for a while. Oh! I am still working on the John Player car in 1/12 but only when I don't shake to much. Not had to many of those days and I used them up on the three boats I had in the que!

       I am making very slow progress on the "Charles De Gualle" It turns out the plastic on one side of the ship is thinner and more brittle than I thought. A few small problems, but I am taking it slow to make sure I don't destroy it! I spent the last three days cleaning up the parts on the Ford! Just about ready to start. Plastic looks good and the tires are in great shape!         T.B.

Tojo,

That Leopard is so hot off the presses the plastic must still be warm!  Mmmmmm... the smell of warm styrene.

According to Tamiya it's all new tooling.  So I have an excuse to get one. Big Smile

Nice Tony.  I've always thought the Leopard was an awesome looking tank.

Thanks,

Yes but an old shape! I just wish they would bring their moulds up to date! I'm just researching to find how I can make it interesting! We don't see them on the streets here anymore!

My latest acquisition came from my better half

There is actually a neat story behind this one.  I actually already had this kit in the stash. Of course, my wife didn't know that.  There is a place here in the Houston area called Nellis Auctions (there are only 2 other locations in the US) which sells stuff really cheap.  I believe the stuff is largely sourced from Amazon returns.  She got this $100 kit for $27.

I was concerned that it might have been missing some parts or decals, but I opened my original boxing and compared.  Everything is there.  So my wife scored a great deal.

Well, yesterday after AMPS here, it was the monthly visit to Andy's where I picked up these items

 

 

The Egyptian and Syrian Sands will come in handy on some future projects, and one can never have enough Value Gear... ;)

Nice one Pat.  I've been looking at that kit.  Would look good sitting next to my Landrover.

Thanks,

Another already opened from ebay UK, but with a wonky windscreen upright, only to solve with warm water.

Aggieman, I bought this kit when it was initially introduced to the market and built it a few years ago, it was totally fun. Hope you enjoy it too.....

Since I've been leaning toward the larger scale stuff lately, I finally decided to spring for this... now I only need 3 more to complete the full 1/18 set.

LAST COMPLETED:

1/35 Churchill Mk IV AVRE with bridge - DONE

NEXT PROJECT:

1/35 CH-54A Tarhe Helicopter
