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.

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

That TBD is going to be awesome

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:

Oh WOW Cary, that's friggin' epic!!! 

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.

LOL Real G!

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.  

Those look cool guys! 

I haven't tried the 3D decals yet John but those look really nice in the bags! 

And yeah that 183mm British gun was friggin' insane. I kinda wish they'd went ahead and built them beyond the prototype. But common sense preveiled plus guilded missiles could do the same job. But a friggin' TWELVE TON giant cannon, what's there not to love!?!?! 

Tojo: Yeah it's nuts! I wanna do mine in Japanese three-tone camo. It'll really look strange... 

Japanese Tiger,that's pretty interesting.

Yes John of course! If only I had the space.

Nice stuff Gam - shoulda pulled the trigger on the big gun.

Pat - I expect a 16 car rally dio with all these cars you're building

I have a few of these 3d cockpit 'decals' from the other guys but I thought I'd try these as well.  Truth be told I've yet to use a 3d decal  :whistle: 

Possibly the last buy this year as my annual budget is now spent!

And this is your fault Greysnake, such an oddity, when I saw the Japanese Tiger I had to have it!!! 

All joking aside I love you guys, you have great taste!!!

And to fill out the order, a British tank destroyer prototype from the '50s with a 183mm gun. The biggest friggin' anti-tank gun EVAR!!! Sadly common sense prevailed and it was canceiled... 

And I'm not sure what is but it was cool looking!!! So what the heck, I'm on a bit of a robot/cyborg obsession these days. I need to start building this stuff before the obsession dies though....

Yeah G, Wpwar, SP, and Pat you're finding some choice merchandise!!! 

Kudos!!!

Pat is loading up with kits!

Bagged this today at 1/2 price, already started from ebay UK!

More paints from Andy’s and Hobby Lobby… Resin stowage items from eBay

From our youngest son for Father's Day here in the UK, another classic rally car kit I shall enjoy building.

Yes John don't rub it in! Jadlam models email just dropped into the inbox, with just that kit, Blast! 

Hey Pat - AK has them coming https://www.themodellingnews.com/2023/01/the-old-88-land-rover-is-new-again-in.html

I'll try to shorten it to 90 swb version.

A box with a big bug, a dinosaur, and a steel cat and man dropped the other day:

Tetsujin 28 (Ironman 28) is for a friend who loves the "Super Robot" genre.  The other oddball kits are mine.  All mine.  

This was delivered whilst we were in Calgary over the weekend. Yes another Scooby but the hatchback version Sti. I wonder how it will look with factory WRC decals on it?

I know what you mean about the old 1/32 armor kits.  I recently picked up several of the old Monogram 1/32 armor kits from an estate sale.

1/32, interesting addition.

 

Im a bit nostalgic about old 1/32 armor kits.

1/32, interesting addition.

I bought a new kit last night. Well, I actually bought a few raffle tickets for the monthly raffle at IPMS last night and won this classic

Ben, you should have a great project with that Churchill and those Miniart crew figures. I'm a big fan of those Miniart crew figure sets!

WP, that's a great trio of fighter kits!

Well I haven’t bought any new kits for awhile… but I have been picking up supplies. AZ AMPS meets a few miles away from Andy’s Hobby HQ, so after meetings, the club will stop in for a bit. I picked up a few items on my last visit

Garage sale find.  2 1/32 kits and a 1/48.  All in unopened Sprue bags.  Decals look good.  Also got a Montex mask for the 1/32 Zero for $4.  All in for $120.  I think that's around the retail price just the Zero.  

Man,that Zero alone is almost worth that !!!
