I'm a little concerned Nic...that's a lot of tweezers for just one guy.  Don't worry Bill, half of them are already gone to a good friend. We have a popular sentence, gift by gift we build a heaven! So, another pearson just happy! Actually, these instruments are excellent when working with small bushes, leaves, very fine pieces of grass. Nicolae |

Thanks Leon, I think I got a tad carried away, and went on a bit of a plastic bender  |

Crappy day at work today, but I had a nice reward waiting at home - a huge box from Hobbyworld USA (NOT Hobbytown).  The F-117 is big and glorious.  And of all the resin (Big Sin set for the 1/48 MiG-23, 1/48 Exocets, Storm Shadows, Rockeyes, Zunis, a Litening pod, 1/32 exhausts for the HK Do 335 and Tamiya Mossie), I'm most impressed with the new 1/32 Zuni launchers.  |

Man that looks to be a big kit Doogs! Where in the world do you have room to display this kind of stuff? I've got four 1/48 scale aircraft, a 1/24 scale Bf109 and four auto builds and I'm almost maxed out in display space. lol |

I've got four 1/48 scale aircraft, a 1/24 scale Bf109 and four auto builds and I'm almost maxed out in display space. lol I scored two display cabinets from a local Hallmark store a few years ago. Big, sliding glass things that are 20" deep from the back to the glass. They can fit *almost* anything - a 1/32 B-25 has to be kinda stuffed in there and that's about the upper limit, but as long as I can position things at an angle most 1/32 aircraft are fine. They also came with a weird, terrible assortment of shelf brackets that really only utilize like 50% of the available space. Wife and I are exploring options to rehabilitate them but it's lower on the priority list. |

I picked up a neat little display case two years ago that's about 10" deep and 22" wide and some 6' tall. Like yours the display area is only about half of what it should be. Four glass shelves for the whole thing. I see a trip to the glass shop and a few additional brackets. I see two additional shelves any way. Unfortunately my display space there is limited to single engine fighters and light bombers in 1/48 scale and of course......my automotive builds. |

My wife and I went to shopping at IKEA in Cincinnati for the first time and we loved it. Look what I got...  Who knew IKEA sells model kits? LOL  Actually its a buy thru craigslist for a very good deal. I will sell them all to raise money for upcoming Band of Brother tour in Europe this summer. Maybe Laura will let me keep just one kit. |

Nice haul Andy. Speaking of hauling, we're sort of looking to upgrade our baby hauling situation and need something to haul all the crap that comes with the kids, pets and home renovations. What are you driving? It looks like it'd be something to consider

Marc I dont think you will be at all disappointed by that GREX...Bought my first one after Armorcon, and I LOVE IT! Its a little different from a true dual action, but I find it very intuitive and much more forgiving on my hand (carpal tunnel)

Well done on the Silver Marc! Nice haul Andy! You can drop off the two soviet Dragons at my house on your way round Gemermany - or give'em to Obama to deliver, he'll be causing traffic chaos here around the 24th |

Its a little different from a true dual action, but I find it very intuitive and much more forgiving on my hand (carpal tunnel) As Marc refers to in is post, I did win a Grex at ArmorCon several years back. But it was at the end of the day and I had already bought one that day. I figured what would I ever do with 2 airbrushes. Stupidly I traded it in for a Dremel to replace my old one. Well the old one is still going. I've been loving' my Grex for years. SOOOO happy to have another. No cramping after very long sessions. |

Supplies at last! Dunno if the bike and the riders go on my Kharkov dio as well - depends on the size of the bike when its finished. Had a short look in the boxes. The figures and the bike are far better than expected. Both the Alpine figure and the Mantis rider have two heads to choose, and the resine is super detailed!  |
