I mentioned on the other gashapon thread that I was later to the party than I would have wished. That being said I have been able to pick up some of the older releases which is itself an interesting exercise in that it shows how these models have evolved since the early 2000s...

Since some things are SO hard to find these days, when they pop up in various Facebook groups, etc, I will try to jump on them if I can, particularly if the prices are reasonable.

Well, $25 shipped was a good deal for the Deadly Duel set, and I am always happy to add another...

After Physical Therapy on Thursday, my wife dropped me at the local Hobby Shop to get a vial of paint I needed for a project I'm working on. She went to a nearby Dept. Store for 30 minutes or so, so I had time to peruse. I got the paint I needed, then decided to look for some...

Taking inspiration from the new thread to show off the random and Wip-ish things you've been working on:
I thought it might be fun to have a similar thread where you can flash your latest acquisition. Maybe gloat over a hard fought or chance bargain, or perhaps seek solace for...

It is fair to say that the first few weeks of my 2021 haven’t been a helluva lot better than large slabs of 2020. Work, moving house, SWMBO, etc. And, for nigh on a fortnight, no Internet, horror of horrors. On the positive side, however, my new abode has delivered me a home...

THANKS!

I ordered these last Thursday, they shipped Friday, and just arrived. Shout out to Sweet USA for prompt service! Six boxes, 12 kits. Thats a deal any day.

I just got two DC-8s from Densil Wade. :D

I have had the NASA one in mind for a while, happy to have a spur to buy it, and the other is to be Air Marshall Islands, but I have yet to design and print decals, as for all my other AMI models....

In the current GB, I did say I was waiting on a new airbrush to continue work on my builds. After I attempted to fire up my one functioning cheapie on the Melbourne Cup holiday here, I realised that it, like its companion, was cooked. Even water sprayed out unevenly and the mere...

Damned eBay, but I just love those Sweet kits and can't resist buying them when I can.

Just received a couple of sets of these in the post today. I have to say, I was a bit sceptical about whether they would live up to their promotional pictures. But... hooo boy!

These things are amazing. I can't even begin to imagine how they can engineer this level of surface...

last week, i got a few new (cheap) kits from AliExpress:

-2 x Mini Hobby Models SAAB JAS-39 Gripen (rebox of Revell/trumpeter kit)
-2 x Mini Hobby Models Mirage F1C (Minicraft rebox)

still on order are (also AliExpress):

-2 x Mini Hobby Models P-51D Mustang (Minicraft rebox)...

For a very very reasonable price also.

I now have both the P2V-7 and -5

I, after a long hiatus from modeling, really roared back into this for 2019. Lots of cruddy personal junk kept me away, but now it's time.

So I got back into adding to the stash, even though I've been pretty good about not starting anything new while I execute repairs on kits...

Managed to snag one of these today from the local hobby store. It was only a little out of my way, as I risked annihilation from a hangry Mrs F_IV by extending my hunter-gather mission to fetch some takeaway. :lol:

Not a bad little kit. Reasonable panel lines and a pleasingly...
