My Stash just grew again (2008)

[Radish]

More therapy time:

1/35th Italeri M4A1 Sherman.
1/35th Italeri Puma armoured car......to be whiffed as an Israeli version.

I must be getting serious....I've put out a "request" to some armour guys I know for some decent Sherman tracks (rubber band type) for a VVS suspension type. AND I've ordered a metal gun barrel with that blobby thing on the end. The Sherman will be Ugandan and real.

Also bought some Games Workshop (1/48th-ish) Demonnettes....cool....they'll make a nice variation crewing the 1/48th tanks I'm acquiring for the various "Zombie" divisions I have planned

Have you seen the Necrons Terry, now they are cool, but not as cool as the Orks or Space Marines

You and your "Space Marines" - it even involves your bedtime reading !

If you want some interesting Gothic Females - Vampirete's etc then look at "Copplestone Castings"

[NARSES2]

1/72 Airfix Do 17E/F - been waiting for this, will be real

1/72 Accademy Il2 Stormovik. This is the Accurate Miniatures tooling that wasn't releases - or so I'm told. Again probably real.

Plus re-stocked on paint-brushes and various Humbrol items that may fall foul of EU Chemical regs.

Snagged yet another Revell Convair Tradewind, that's 5 in the stash now with plans for all. In fact I have more plans than I have kits, so I'm still prowling.

Just looked at Copplestone Castings Their "BAck of Beyond" Central Asian War 1918 - 1926 is a whole Alt. history in it's own right!!!!!!!

I'll check on Coplestone Castings, thanks.

Meanwhile, some tiny diecasts in a sale:

3 x 1/76th Minis...Red, Blue and Green
1/76th bulldog Morris Van, that'll look super painted green and with ambulance markings, WW1




the Minis will ge great alongside some Dakotas, Dragon Rapides, anything from the '60s.

Penguins be buggered, check out the WWI pilot figures..... 


Winging their way to me from evilbay:

Airfix 1/72nd Javelin (for conversion to Avro Avenger)

Heller 1/72nd Starfighter (generally useful since it has alternate single and two-seat front ends, and it was half the price of the equally battered and 2nd hand one in a local shop......)

[B777LR]

From the airshow:

1/72:

Academy T6G Texan

Academy Fiesler Fi-156 Storch

Matchbox Dassault Mirage (Not on box: Mirage III, contains 2 sets of decals)

Just back from a very quick trip to  England.  Limited luggage space meant not much model shopping this trip, but I did pick up a nice little Revell 1/7 Hunter FGA.9.  The stash has felt empty for the past few months with no RoG Hunters, and I have yet to see an FGA.9 on the Colonial Shores, so this was a nice one to find.

[NARSES2]

Also picked up a Airfix Defoant.

Mine will be a light bomber/dive bomber ? Read that the initial design had provision for internal bomb bays in the outer wing panels and wing mounted guns. So drop the turret and add some dive brakes and the BEF have some decent support ?

Bought myself a 1/48 revell Arado 234 today, bit of therapy, had a bad day.
