mustang1989 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Man those are teeny models Mark. I really admire and respect these little guys a lot more than I used to after seeing some completed builds in person. Great score also considering you've been wanting one of those for that long!!

Mark Deliduka Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks Joseph! They do have some tiny parts, but they are quite large. The Enterprise is a little more than two feet long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subgenius13 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 This was our haul from Tol-Con this past Saturday. Spent less than $100 and had some great raffle luck. My Father In Law won a flight on the Yankee Lady B-17 as well. I credit my youngest daughter for bringing this kind of luck because I never make out like this. Grand total on kits we actually bought was ~$40. We had a super time and came home with some awards too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subgenius13 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thanks! I'm particularly proud of the HE-111 and the JU-88. Got them both for $25 from one of the dealers. the JU-88 is my first Dragon kit, and I'm pretty impressed with the quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I've got the Ju-88 / Fw 190 F-8 Mistel 2 combo and can see where you get the high quality rating from. I'm REALLY looking forward to that Mistel build!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I got this in the mail today. Only three more to get the whole bunch of 'em. (I built all of these as a kid so I'm anxious to get a second shot at them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subgenius13 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I still have all my old kits from 30 years ago. Man they look terrible.... If I didn't have 20 years worth of projects unbuilt on my shelf I might consider rehabbing a few of them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PetrolGator Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I went a little nuts. However, the wife just went to a Lilly Pulitzer store and... yeh.... SO I GOT TO GO ON A BUYING SPREE. All 1/700: Russian "battleship" Novgorod. This thing is goofy. French Battleship Danton Spanish battleship Jamie I Russian cruiser Amur I like weird stuff. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGronovius Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Got a deluxe edition M3A3 Bradley by Orochi. I am not familiar with the company, but someone traded it to me for a 1/72 scale Revell U-boat I bought from Hobby Lobby years ago that I would probably never have built myself. Deluxe edition includes metal gun tube and extras. Edited July 12, 2015 by RGronovius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGronovius Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'm just glad we have updated modern armor kits beyond Tamiya and the Academy clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66Foxtrot Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Picked up (2) kits at the National Convention: Model Kit #25004 1/25th scale 1926, ’28, ’29 Winning Miller 91 rear drive from American Racing Miniatures. Another one of these lol. The front end needs a lot of attention, but it builds into a nice representation. I also bought a Glue Looper set, and that's about the simplest, most brilliant idea ever. Works like a charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Some good score while I was gone guys! Well done.Now I have some time to get some pics posted. Here is what I was able to score at the Nationals in Columbus:1/72 scale Heller Warning Star:This next one was a raffle prize my friend won. He gave it to me because he said I'd done so much for him already:1/72 scale Trumpeter Be-6 Madge:This next one was something I saw at a local hobby shop when my friend Steve and I went around to visit the local hobby shops. I bought it to build for my niece who loves horses:Another raffle prize, won by yours truly:1/72 scale Airfix P-51 Mustang:I started that while I was still at my brother's house. It was a fun little build. I hope to get pics later in my Manufacturing Thread.I already have one of these, but it was missing too many pieces to complete. This one is more complete so I'll be able to finish at least one of these:1/72 scale Aurora Jet Commando:Now for some armor scores. There were so few to choose from due to some fool buying up almost all of Freetime Hobbies' stock of 1/72 scale armor. I was so pissed. Anyway, here's what I did get:1/72 scale SS-100 Gigant tractor:And the trailer for it to pull:a 1/72 scale Modelcollect T-90 tank with a welded turret:and finally, a 1/72 scale Diamond T cargo truck:Well, that and a ton of new tools and supplies are what I was able to get at the Nationals. I'll be lucky to be able to acquire anything else now that I spent so much getting back and forth to the Nationals and buying this stuff there. Oh well; lots more to build!
