Mark Deliduka Posted September 16, 2025 Report Posted September 16, 2025 I've managed to pick up a few things at very little cost due to the generosity of friends and being at the right place at the right time. First off, I have needed more glue, so I purchased these to refill my tool box: Then a few weekend ago, I went to a gaming convention (yes, I do wargame occasionally) and was able to purchase this. The box says $2.50, but he took $2.00 for it: Then, talk about being in the right place at the right time, I came across a table at this convention that said "Everything on the table: $1.00" So I purchased the cloth bag and four other large containers for a buck each. While I was paying, they changed the sign to say "Everything on the table: FREE!" so after confirming that, I scooped up all the rest of the containers on the table: God is good! Later I went to build models at the Brookhurst club where I met a friend of mine there. He generously purchased these two kits for me: The Airfix set was in the sale pile of previously owned kits. I was thrilled to get it as I'd wanted it for decades, since I was a little boy. That's all I have for now. Back to the bench....
Stikpusher Posted October 7, 2025 Report Posted October 7, 2025 Nice additions to your stash Mark! That Airfix zoo is too much! Well I've been wanting this kit since I first stumbled across it awhile back. Not one, but two British Airborne jeeps!!! This one will be a soon project. probably early '26
Mark Deliduka Posted October 7, 2025 Report Posted October 7, 2025 Thanks Carlos! That kit looks fantastic!
Mark Deliduka Posted December 16, 2025 Report Posted December 16, 2025 Recently I needed some blades and debonder, so I ordered some: I figured while I was at it, I might as well pick up a couple model kits since it's been awhile since I bought myself some. These are what I chose: They might look the same, but there are subtle differences in them. And, they are not British, German or US! 1
Mark Deliduka Posted January 22 Report Posted January 22 I had some Christmas money this year as well as a $100.00 Gift Card for Brookhurst that my SoCal AMPS group bought me. So I took them to Brookhurst Hobbies where I got a lot of glues, some putties, some blades and these: Time to restart my Maddog Manufacturing tours again! 2
VMF211 Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 I picked up one of the FineMolds 72nd A6M5 kits......VERY NICE!
Mark Deliduka Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 As many of you know, my birthday was March 1st. My wife was kind enough to buy me some desk organizers and some models for my Hobby Room. These are the whole set of organizers: It took a short time only to get them built and these are how they look: I have two each of these: This is the final look of all of them in use: These are the models I got from her too: Before that all came in, a friend of mine had these two kits that he didn't want so he gave them to me: That last one was a kit that I never knew existed. What a thrill it was to get that! Finally, another friend of mine sent me some money for my birthday so I treated myself to these kits: That last one is a two-in-one kit. Cool! That's gonna keep me pretty busy for a month or two! LOL! 1
Mark Deliduka Posted April 14 Report Posted April 14 I got a small pay so I ordered some decals I needed to finish my USS Albany, and picked up a couple extra models that were on deep sale: This has two ships in here, one to make the Z-37 and the other the Z-39: I've been wanting a Sherman with a dozer blade forever, and now I finally have one: Time to get back to the bench, I have another tour to start.....
Mark Deliduka Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago Thanks to some good friends (yes, I do have them!!) I was able to get these things, one was a raffle prize, the other was some things a friend was getting rid of. First the prize: A magnificent book that will tell you just about anything you want to know about the Italian Air Force in WWII. Man, I have an even higher respect for them now after reading this: The next thing (or things) I got were these three LED light strips powered by 9-volt batteries and are turned on by a magnet: These went inside my church I've been building for awhile, now the stained glass windows can be seen when these are on. Finally, the last three birthday purchases came in: Okay, that's all I got for now, time to prepare for another tour.....
