Wow great scores overall! I love the Porco Rosso! What scale is he? I apologize for being so absent lately; so many things have happened: so much has been suffered; a game convention out of town was worked; and some extra work came my way; all of which has kept me away from these boards and way out of the loop. I haven't stopped building though, so progress will hopefully be posted soon. Meanwhile, here are some of the things I picked up, or were sent my way.. And that is all I got from the end of April till now. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to post some progress pics of some of the models I've been working on in between all the craziness I've been going through this past month. Thanks for understanding guys! First off, it's great to have you back with us Mark as you've been missed ol' buddy! Glad to hear that benchtime hasn't suffered though. Awesome scores along the way and can't wait to see the ongoing builds in your "manufacturing" thread. Again, we're glad you're back and hope to see some more of you soon brutha, Joe

Mark, the Porco Rosso kit is listed as non-scale. I’ll have to take a closer look at the kit contents, but I’d hazard a guess it is 1/20.
Looking at all the great 1/72 armor you got reminds me that the scale is getting more love these days, both kits and aftermarket. Aftermarket? That word didn’t really exist 20 years ago for the small scale armor enthusiast. Love the SA-4 Ganef, it’s so Soviet Cold War!

Just got this one in a couple of days ago. I built this one as a kid and couldn't help but foresee round 2 with it. Finding these kits is like finding a needle in a haystack and when one does they're usually higher than a giraffe's a$$. I got this one for a decent price and snagged it. There are a few changes that I'll be making to it....namely getting rid of that big rig bumper up front and replacing it with a stock style bumper and changing those ridiculous mirrors out to factory style smaller mirrors. Cool kit though with a LOT of goodies:

What stash would be complete without a Stug? It really doesn't take up THAT MUCH space. The Leopold is light years ahead of the Dragon offering...which isn't bad.

Those M7 kits can be hard to find and they are usually listed for more than $65-$70 online. I was very lucky because I grabbed it at AMPS Nats for only $30. I just wanted to scream 'score"! LOL That's why I love going to those shows where you can find good deals. Have fun with that huge railroad gun... my wife will NEVER let me have something that big in the house!

Boy, I have some catching up to do. You folks have been quite active in the stash stuffing department. It fills me with glee.
Mark: You have done well my friend. At least when you do pop in you come bearing awesome goodies. I love that 1/72 Dozer. Very cool.
TJ: Sweet Spit and Harrier. 1/72 is always a good choice. Can't wait to see the additional 11 boxes of wonder.
Joe: Great score on the Mean Mudder. Always glad to see folks get a hold of a kit they have been searching for awhile. That will be a fun kit to watch you get your mitts into.
Andy: That there is a dandy load of kits you've picked up. That B-17 is especially appealing and should be an epic build.
Perry: Super nice tracks for your Stug you've found. Should lend themselves to be a choice enhancement.
Chad: Now that's a definition of go big or go home. No need to question the reasoning. Simply bask in your new found glory. It's a keeper for sure. Well done.

Hi all So we had a short family holiday to Amsterdam this week, getting back late last night, and whilst we were there I managed to pick up a model, although not the usual type. Junior** and I have actually started it and hope to have it finished by the end of the weekend. ATB Andrew ** For newer members, I refer to my son as Junior rather than use his real name in the interests of online safety. Hope you understand.
