Think Andy wanted a shot of the show "haul"...here's what I snagged: Total outlay was $200 even including 8 sets of aircraft decals (including some OOP Aztec, Fox One, and Cutting Edge sets), so that boils down to 9 bucks per item you see there. THIS IS WHY I CAN'T LEAVE SHOWS WITHOUT A BIG PILE OF STUFF!!!

HOLY SH..... now I do understand what guys were talking about you. LOL Great haul especially that Flakpanzer kit! And of course that rotary kit too... is it in 1/48 scale? Can't wait to touch them in June.

Andy, you can fondle anything you want. Trust me, there's plenty to fondle.
Oh, and yes, that Hasegawa Sea King is 1/48 scale.

Nice pic Dupes. jackwagon, I'd love to see you build that one bud. And that ship thang, got the scoup from T, would be cool to see you build that. Andy that is nothing bud. Dupes has the missus carry stuff to the car while he goes through his list, and empties all the club/vendor tables......BEFORE the show officially starts...lol. The one reason that we say he's sick is not because of his show hauls, we're used to that already, but has to do with 22 feet ? I won't say anything else as I'm not sure if he's keeping this secret...but then again we saw all sw his scale drawings..lol

Rob - it's not a secret per se, but I'm trying to think of a good way to present the idea. Pretty hard to take meaningful pics of something this big (I've tried!). I'm trying to put something together now, because I DO want to start rounding up help from anyone who's willing. If I don't, it's going to take me at LEAST 15 years to get it all done by myself. So, Boss - ever build 1/48th scale aircraft?

Been some time since I have dupes. Last 1/48 jet I built was about 12 years ago..lol. Yeah would be hard to describe or even take pics of what you have planned. But hey, you've gone down from 20 to 15 years, not bad..lol

So you're saying you HAVE done them before...I'm going to have to put you down for a build some point in the next 15 years. Heck, I'll even give you a kit with the right decals!

LOL, Mark I have built many a wingie in my 35 years in the hobby. Back in germany I built quite a few planes, AE6 and the slick A7 Corsair. So yeah I have built them before. Not much I haven't built. I am sure I could get one or two done for you in those 15 years..lol

Nice haul, OgreJohn! I'm a total convert to Vallejo now for brushable paints - I love their Model Air range too but do get an occasional bit of Spattering that I never get with Tamiya? I'm about to start that very same Pz. IV kit next weekend - looks great don't she!I picked this up at a show local to me on Saturday - when it was first advertised as an up-coming release and I saw the box art I knew right then that I'd be building it this year: Here's the Shurzen - the instructions say that the smaller rectangles make up the mounting things for each panel but they haven't been punched out properly? Luckily I wasn't planning on using them! Got a few little bits too - the Mig 'MUD' is amazingly realistic when dry:Prices at the show were standard prices - things are getting very VERY expensive on the kit front. New Tamiya stuff is getting even more expensive than Dragon so moving forward I'm probably going to start looking at some Trumpeter stuff. Ben

As long as I have 15 years to finish them we're good to go..lol. Am quite sure I won't need that long since there's no rust on them...lol

Nice haul there Dupes! Something tells me at 22' and the mention of A-6E and A-7E that a carrier deck is involved...but my silence can be acquired for a modest price I can assure you!

Good Day Folks! What can y'all tell me about this kit? I wanted to build my first motorcycle, and I liked this one. I am VERY VERY afraid of this kit, because it also has some PE parts. I have never worked with PE. Any advise, reviews, or should I put it on the shelf? Thanks in advance, -Steven

You would be right, Mr.Bill...details forthcoming. A 15-20 year project sounds about right then! Look forward to seeing just how far the madness goes with this one Dupes.

Marc, I've heard nothing but good things about that particular Tamiya kit. Would love to see you do the Caunter scheme that's on the box art.

Bill, that's the plan. Although I've read there are some questionable color call outs but dunno which ones. I am wondering if the blue part is correct. I hope so cuz I like that one right there.
Dicky that's the type pf comments I am seeing about this kit. Got a link to your cutaway?

Plenty of PE experts on this site Steven, fire yer questions out in Q&A and yer'll get inundated with answers fella - it is suppposed to be a very nice kit I just took the plastic off the box, there is NO way I will be able to build this kit.!!! Looks like I will need to see what I can get for it in trade or sell it..

Wow Andy, nice haul mate. Do you know who makes the Punch and Die set buddy ? Hey Boo! Sorry it took me long... here's the information you wanted about the punch & die set. Link to their website... umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?cPath=21_145&products_id=1868I think I am going to get that hex shaped punch & die set in near future. But first I want to test my set to see how it works. For $40 I think its pretty good... they sell many cool tools too. Hope this helps...

Gary - when are you doing the Flak Panther? I've wanted to re-create the hard to find Cyber Hobby boxing, but wasn't sure what sprue was in there to make it "special". Doing a different Flak Panther now...can't stop with just one!
