Wow, Ben. That is a significant haul. Love those 1/18 diecast, I have several. I used to be a dealer for Ertl and Autoart as well as Supercar Collectibles when diecast was all the rage. I love that big Sherman and I would love to get one along with the Tiger I. Looking forward to seeing those.

Wow, all of those are awesome guys but I love that giant M4A3E8 Ben!!! 

Belated Happy Birthday! And hope Jarrod enjoys those too!

I'm looking at the Dragon Wing as well. But what are the shipping costs? I'm in the UK, I presume it's a small packet? It's  very difficult to work out shipping!

I've just checked and it's the same price as the kit so I cancelled the order!

 

Pat: The shipping costs for my Dragon Wing were about $60 US- I think that's about 40 UK (my keyboard doesn't have a pound key). That's for the whole order though. The Pagani was about $30 on HLJ but normally sells in the US for about $70. So I make up an order about once or twice a year and I think I end up saving enough on costs to make up for shipping. 

Those are awesome guys!!! 

SP: I hope the Tamiya Comet is easier to build than the Bronco kit. I liked how mine came out but it was a bit of bear to build.

Aggie, that Thunderstreak Thunderbird a new release of an older mold kit, so there is no way you ever built it before. But I'm with you on wanting to build one soon 

Had to go to the town where I grew up a couple days ago to knock out a couple of stones - visit some family and my dentist, who coincidentally is family as well.  Left my office in Houston and drove an hour south, got there too early so I stopped at a Hobby Lobby.  I don't get back to my home town often, but am always amazed at the shopping options that have sprung up there in the years since I left for Texas A&M in the mid-80s.  In any event, I walked out of the HL with a couple of purchases, a Vallejo paint set for US Army Air Corps China-Burma-India colors, as well as this kit

I'm 99% certain I never built this kit as a youngster.  The F-84 was always my favorite as a Thunderbird jet.  I'll likely build this one alongside my Hobby Boss release some day.

Over the last several months I bought many many new kits, mostly 1/35 armor and 1/48 aircraft. These would fill the pages and bore you. I'm removing kits that are being replaced or just getting rid of ones I know I'll never build. Time for a stash cleaning/replacing. Actually, although I purchased several new ones, they're replacing possably double that what I'm losing.

I will however, show three that I received this month.

For my birthday, my gal bought me this. She got it for a gag but I told her that I actually liked it.

Next for Christmas she got me this one. Again, very happy to receive it

and for my secret Santa gift I got this. I love between the war A/C

Nice scores guys!

 My new scores came in yesterday in no particular order. First up is the new Tamiya A-34 Comet. I had placed a pre order with Brookhurst Hobbies a couple months ago for this kit then heard nothing and started to wonder. Then I found out that they had gotten the kits in and not contacted me regarding my pre order, so I contacted them and got the problem straightened out. I am quite happy to have gotten the screw up corrected and the kit sent to me at the pre order price.

Then I found this decal set for Korean War AD Skyraider. It has markings for an AD-3 from VA-35, USS Leyte Air Wing in Korea 1950/1951. After seeing Devotion and reading about the USN strikes at the Yalu River bridges, it was a natural inspiration to get this set.

You're the reason I finally pulled the trigger on buying it!

Gamera, very nice haul. Love the Pagani!

Keavdog, nice!! I got that Mercedes for SS this year. Gonna start it very soon.

BK

Love the VW!

Picked these up during the Sprue Brothers 10% sale

The rest of my order from HLJ came in today. 

I was waiting on this. Suyata kits seem to be really hard to get your hands on. I've wanted the kit Real G showed a few years ago and it never seems to come back into stock. 

I ordered a few more things to fill out the order. HLJ was having a special reduced shipping sale for Christmas so that did help out some. 

Robot dogs with assualt rifles and a robo-cat that can turn into a motorcycle. What could be cooler???

Picked up the cool VW as something for for either our show raffle donation or a Christmas present for next year:

Not sure if I'll build the Pagani or not. The kit is insanely complex from looking at the instructions. I may toss it into the club raffle next year:

wow the beaufort and f-35!  Nice

I forgot to post my books

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, you got the Monogram book. I've been eyeing that for months now. Let us know how it is.

 

BK

 

It's really nice.  Super heavy paper and great prints.  A bit more fun than the boxart book because there's way more context.

I'm jealous of the Jetson's build! Going off to look for that... i thnk Santa forgot to put it in my stocking ;-)

stikpusher

Man, all of you must have been good boys and girls this year to get such Christmas gifts!  

 

Actually I bought them for myself. 

Saint Nick brought me a lump of coal... 

Awesome stuff guys!!! 

Love the Jetson's air car BK!

My Christmas haul

I am going to attempt to install lighting into the Super Star Destroyer and the Rebel Blockade Runner, but both are so tiny that I'm not sure that will be possible.  The SSD is 1/100000 and the RBR is 1/1000.

 

 

 

 

I'm totally jelly of all those, especially the blockade runner. Curious just how big those are and the lighting would be super cool.

And I got my wife a kit, which she has finished  :shocked: 

The kit was missing Astro.  I have a note out to Round2 for a replacement Astro

It's a QUICK snap-tite build - I think it looks awesome
