Me?!?!?! No way!!! Absolutely no space room for those post-WWII Russian tanks even WWII in my stash!!! There are so many great German and US tanks for me to build first until my last day here on earth. Except for little challenge between the English mate Dicky and me to do a modern armor build later this year. Boy, hope it will be fun!

Are the indy links similar to modelkasten ones as it seems from the pics?

Great kits OgreJohn. Both are on my list and will one day cross my bench:) I splurged and got a bunch of goodies at the IPMS Roscoe Turner show in Indy yesterday) Though my shopping was cut a little short due to judging duties. I didn't realize I wouldn't have any time after that:( I found a few things that I've been wanting however:) another blitz ( a lil bigger:) and a plaster Euro fountain and some T-34 insignia masks from Eduard. I liked the German crosses so much, figured I'd give these a try for $2. I've been wanting this one a while now and was pleasantly surprised to find the Eduard PE inside the box when I got back to the hotel! Finally got a Macchi and some more tammy glue! I love these Hasegawa kits and the Italians sure knew/know how to adorn themselves don't they:) I love the markings on the Macchi. I'm thinking a nice desert speckle pattern is in order for this one. I also finally added to my AK collection. Good stuff. Can't wait to use it. If anyone needs/wants the wash for DAK vehicles and want to trade for another AK product, I already had that one so let me know. Oh, and I splurged I got my first Friul tracks for my T-34 that's been stalled due to frustrating tracks. Not only did I get lucky with the judging, but also in the raffle here are my winnings:) The tamiya kits are old (the M10 has a motor:) but I figure it'll make a whirlwind build and nice first U.S. OD weathering experiment or I can let one of my kids build and paint it. I'm honestly lookingo forward to throwing the little zvezda Pz III together. It's 1/100 and has 6-8 parts. It's pretty neat and will be a challenge to paint. The track tool is awesome.

Nate, next time if you sign up to judge, just give me your money and I will be more than happy to shop for you. Sorry for being slow... finally got to sleep for more than ten hours. Spent many hours with my two boys today.. you will find out what we have been doing. Here's my haul... tell you the truth I didn't expect to bring home that much. My budget was about $150-$160 this year because of many unexpected bills and spring break coming up. All three kits were $25 each. 234/1 kit is really for Greg (detailfreak) as part of trade deal for his Ferdinand. Now I have better Nashorn kit so I gave my older Nashorn kit Dragon #6001 along with some Tamiya figure sets to a boy today who is very interested to learn about modeling. Hopefully a future modeler... he was at the show too with his deaf dad. Some stuff for my next build... DUKW ambitious truck. Had to get AK Olive Drab set too... My buddy John twisted my arm to get that PE upgrade set for my future build with Dicky... the Chally 2... not too bad for $25. That tool was a gift from my awesome wife. She bought it along with the razor saw... Also, my wife bought those for my boys. Jeez, they were not that cheap... but at least what I have been working with boys today until I stabbed my finger with brand new blade real good. Had good luck at raffle this year finally... Dicky will kill me if he ever finds out that I traded very nice Trumpeter modern armor kit for the MiniArt Shed kit. LOL Not just that... a friend gave me this kit and said it was mine. Jeez, it was so unexpected. Some of you might remember him from FSM... Fermis? One of best wingy modeler and he brought home many awards again. I told him about MSC and hope to see him drop by one day. I promised him I will build it for next year show... so Blackhawk will wait a bit longer. So yes it was a great day at the show yesterday... awesome friends... awards... nice haul! LOL

Nice haul Nate! I was looking at one of those Horch kits myself at one of the tables. What a hoard Andy! Looks like that ought to keep you busy for a bit. Yeah, it didn't take much arm twisting to get him to buy that Voyager set. He even got the guy to drop his price on it!

wow Andy, that is some haul bud. As for the AK OD mod set, test the two dark shadow colors first. This is one of the first sets (the paints were made by Vallejo) and those dark colors may be too thick or clumpy. I usually just use the 3-4 light colors in all the sets from AK due to this problem. The mud set is awesome and you will love it. Love those 8 wheelers btw.
Nice haul Multi. The AK effects are great. My fave has to be the DAK wash, I use it for everything.

Luigi- I think I spent about $200-$225 including my lunch money for this week so I will just eat snow... at least its free as long as it is not yellow. I was surprised how much my OWN wife spent... she was preaching me not to go crazy this time because of tight budgets. LOL We will be just fine... John- Correct me if I am wrong... did you tell me that you will slash my car tires if I don't buy this Chally 2 PE set? Please bear with me I am deaf and I don't read lips very well... Rob- Thanks for the warning!!! Wasn't aware about the bad patch. I will just add few drops of thinner and shake 'em real good before painting... that should help? Can't wait to try the mud set on my next build DUKW. No more new kits for a very long time... I am running out of space in my man cave!

Wow Andy, nice haul mate. Do you know who makes the Punch and Die set buddy ? I am not sure... but price was very reasonable... only $40!!! It would be perfect for me to make bolts for armors and just anything. I recall the dealer was from Czech my wife told me. I will check when I return to my bench as I have his business card because I want to order one or two more tools from him in the future. Stay posted...

Exactly... that's why I had to get it and my wife knew it was cheaper. I had that tool on my Xmas list earlier but seller wanted $75 or something. So that's why my wife pulled cash out of her purse. WOW! LOL
I am at work now so I won't be able to check til late tonight.
