The Duke's Birthday Haul...so far

[dukemaddog]

So I guess there's no dedicated acquisition thread for posting. Okay, I'll post my birthday (and Christmas) deliveries here.

So, without further ado, here are a few things that came in for my birthday. First is this ship given to me by a friend and fellow St. Crispin's Irregular:

Renwal USS Shangri La:





That will be on one of my slipways very soon.


Next, I placed two orders using birthday money. One was to BNA Modelworks in Australia or New Zealand; I can't remember which. Another was ordered from Kitlinx in Utah. I also have a Christmas order I got from Hobby Easy that was ordered back in December. That one is on the slow boat from China as it still has not been delivered.


However, the BNA order came in a few days ago.....before the Kitlinx one in Utah! Interesting! Here is what was in that BNA order:


Dragon Stryker Dragoon:





Finally I have all three! This has even been started as you'll see on the next tour. Now Trumpeter is coming out with an engineer version with a dozer blade. Good thing I just got some more unexpected birthday money!


Three IBG Swedish light tanks, the M-38, M-40K and M-40L:











I have the IBG Swedish M-39 coming from Kitlinx along with a few others, hopefully soon.


That's all until I get the next boxes delivered....

Thank you! If you want more small scale armor, let me know what you're looking for. I still have a bunch I am not planning on building because I've already done all the variants and versions for all the countries I build for. I don't mind selling them; I surely need the income!

Not quite a Birthday score, but a good one nonetheless, here's my most recent acquisition gotten at my IPMS meeting on Friday:



I hope to get that on the bench soon.

At 1/72nd scale that should be a good size boat and heck yeah I'll be looking forward to seeing that one up and going soon on the bench.
