My Stash just grew again (2009)

[Weaver]

well, it won't float because of all the filler you will have to motherload it with.
Have you done an Amodel kit before? if not, get a stock of happy pills in and remove all sharp objects.
no...really!!

Yep - the Migina 1 I did was based on an Amodel MiG-9 and yes, grafting the front end of a G.91 onto it was the easy part....

Jeez, tell me about it.  I'm building their An-32 at the minute - its only the plastic thats holding the filler together

[Radish]

Some balsa square-sectioned strips/rods for WW1 type floats/pontoons for Camels, Fokkers, etc.. Different sizes for 1/72nd and 1/48th too.

Italeri 1/72nd JS-2 and Teutonic Knights for a comic-suggested idea

Airfix 1/48 TSR2 to be scale-o-rama'd into a 1/72 big bomber
Revell 1/72 Hunter FGA9 & Tornado GR1 for I know not what...

Revell 1/72 Hunter FGA9 & Tornado GR1 for I know not what...

Just back from the Huddersfield Show and purchases made at the show and in the environs of West Yorks were -

Eduard 1/48 Spitfire F22/24
Eduard 1/48 Spitfire LF Vc
Eduard Nuieport 17 in Imperial Russian markings - only bought this because of the topless mermaid in the markings 

All the above will be real world

1/72 Silver Cloud Avro 720 and Hunter P.1083 conversion

1/72 Fujimi Ju 87 B/R

1/72 Hasegawa Mustang III mit Malcolm Hood

Vitrix 28mm hard plastic British "Waterloo" Centre Company figures. Wanted to see what the detail on these was like - good

[Radish]

So 28mm figures = what in proper scales?

[Aircav]

3mm bigger than 25mm figures 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_figure_(gaming)

[Steel Penguin]

28mm some ware between 1:48 and 1:60, some companys pin at 1:55 ( bolt action amd chieftain), outhers may vary, and scale creep ( figures, from the same company, in the same line may slowly grow or shrink to an extent, { ill use games workshops teminators here, the new plastic ones are around 5mm taller then the old lead ones, despite being for the same user.})
with a large companys figs 1:35 scale kits do not look massivly out of place, { again 1:35 scale m113 apcs have been used with GW orks or space marines}  or you get to use then "scale o rama`d"  by using say a 1:35 scale Challinger tank with 28mm crew to give a "super-heavy" tank like the shadowsword is supposed to be.
some people find it very annoying, outhers like the effect you can get. take 3 differnt companys late world war 2 ranges and mix, as long as the painting is the same, it gives the effect of differant hight troops in the same unit.  It also generaly means that you can finish an army as a lot of manufactures dont produce every single option that you may want / need,.

Thanks

Finally located a 1/72nd Hobbycraft CF-100 after hunting high and low. Toad snapped most of them up just to drive up the price, he's melting down 3 per evening. It will be given the U2 treatment.

Courtesy of the generous services of Aircav, I now have a flying-type-guy for my RW 1/32 CF-104. He started as an F-16 pilot (from the Academy F-16CG/CJ) but he is on his way to being backdated to a 1980s Starfighter pilot. And no, this does NOT mean I'm suspending him under a parachute.

From Sprue Bros.:
1/700 SS Jeremiah O'Brien Liberty ship (new in this scale). This will be built as the O'Brien; I've been on that ship and have plenty of reference pics.

1/700 JCC/LCC-20 USS Mount Whitney in its 2004 fit. This will be whiffed somehow.

1/35 scale workable links for the Trumpeter M1A1/A2 tank kit.

[KiwiZac]

A coupla Italeri 1:72 heliochopters: OH-6A and RAH-66. Both to be whiffed......to differing extremes.........

[Aircav]
