Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

Latest Acquisitions

Finally my Tiger 2s arrived. One for James and 2 for me. Was quite surprised to see each one signed by Mig. Also got some other kits today. Now to clear the desk and go nuts :)

So what's the story with the signatures James? I watched a build video on the King Tiger with interior and those really look to be nice kits!

Ammo of Mig had a pre order sale so I got the three kits and a few paint sets for James and I. I guess the pre orders came with Migs signature. Or maybe he was being really nice to me. No matter it was a nice surprise. Not sure I will pre order again as I can get the stuff a bit cheaper and sooner from Hong Kong. But the pre sale price and paint bundle was a good value no matter what.

Deliver James; 505 Tiger tonight and he seemed pretty happy. Should pick his spirits up after coming home early.

I've been good(ish) lately. I don't think I've bought any kits for about a month now...but last time I did, I broke down and snagged 3. A Harrier, MiG-21 (another one :smack ), and an Expeditor II (military Beechcraft 18).


I know there are still a couple coming supposedly by year's end that Gerry will be getting my money for...but they haven't been released yet.

Have spent a bit lately on stuff that I really wanted. Really need to weed out the stuff that I am not most like ly going to be building. Slowly working my way in that direction.

Well, I finally have some time to post here. Now that I have a job, I decided to replenish a few things, and purchase a few more. I also bought some raffle tickets at the last Orangecon and was able to pick up a few prizes.

Anyway, here they are. I'll start with the supplies I bought. I needed the Mr. Surfacer so I picked them up. The Alclad supplies I bought because they were 40% off. I also picked up the tube of glue because I always do that when I shop for supplies:

These are supplies and tools I won in the raffle at Orangecon:

These next ones are the models I acquired. This first one was sent to me by Chris so I could do the "Hippy Ed Tribute Build". Thanks Chris!

This next one is a model I won as a door prize at my AMPS meeting:

That had been on my list of models to get.

This Space Shuttle was a raffle prize at Orangecon:

Yes, I'll build it even though it ain't my scale. It's a "what if" anyway.

This next one was someone else's raffle prize that I purchased off him since he didn't want it. He made back his ticket money which made him happy. This is the Surcouf in 1//350 scale:

Finally, these are the latest models I purchased from the LHS. The Boxer I got for the decals since I lost the original ones. Now I can finish the one. The other is a model I had been wanting to get:

That's all I have for now. Now if I can only find the time to work on something I'll be thrilled!

Thanks! That sub had eight-inch guns on it and was classified by the French as an underwater cruiser. Definitely an interesting ship!

I like the ammunition truck too; I can't wait to get started on it.

Not sure what I will dive into first but I'm leaning more towards the F-14 perhaps :hmmm
 
Latest Acquisitions

Nice! I still want that MiG-31...but before I sting the wallet that much, I want to get my hands on AMK's upcoming F-14 and Airfix's Victor B.2.

You lot are on a different level to me :) I think what i want to build next then go down the shops and buy it. I think if i even had two kits in the cupboard i would have brain overload !! they would just worry me as yet more jobs that need to be done. I suppose its a fault in my make up that i have to be in control and on top of my tasks and a stash would be a huge worry for me :)
That said i remember years ago that a huge amount of the fun was in getting the box in your hands and examining all the pieces never mind building the thing so i fully understand these buying sprees and its a great way for people like me to see what is out there. ;)
