Eduard Weekend Fokker D.VII for the Africa GB.
Trumpeter F9F Panther shipped just a week before the big quake from a major Japanese retailer
Eduard Weekend I-16
Bronco Adler Kfz.13
Italeri Horch Kfz.15
Steyr 1500 for conversion into a Moab-capable ''Westfalia''.
Tamiya Citroen 11CV for an Indiana Jones like event.     
Hasegawa Typhoon with some bits and pieces of resin for an Africa machine, likely to be built after the GB is done.

I'm wrapping up my 2011 purchases early, just because.

Not a chance, there are a whole string of staff cars due out in 1/35th to tempt you

Novo 1/72nd Wyvern (with extra decals thrown in), courtesy of the Wooksta.

This and my FROG one may eventually donate their engine sections to an upgraded RAF Neptune. The airframes won't go to waste however: lots of big radials around.....

Just back from todays Shuttleworth model show at Old Warden.

only 4 new items

LS Bede BD5/BD5J Microjet. (two kits in one box)

And the box was probably still no bigger then a two bob piece  

Kit, the box and contents for the kit is below.

Today's raid on Uncle Frank's emporium released the two Sword Spit Vcs into my custody, plus an Admiral Seafire Ib (which has IDENTICAL sprues to the AZ Ib, IIb, Vb and HFIV plus a nice piece of etch for teh arrestor hook).  In addition, a mate was wanting to get rid of a Hasegawa Spitfire HF.VIII so that's now mine too.

Admiral are now part of the AZ brand Lee and I must admit it's confusing the hell out of me

From local department store Whittakers:

It's really good that Airfix are using local dept stores as an outlet. Opens up the hobby a little 

yesterday from Comet Miniatures,

A shop I must visit - never been there and it isn't that far  Always a little bit put off by the "barrow boy" appearance of the stand at shows

from the shuttleworth show on saturday....

A rather daunting pile of stuff picked up from the post office today:

Hairyfix Vulcan, from seavixen. To be upgraded to a BR.4, and possibly wear Op. Granby colours. Blue Steel may well find it's way on to my Hawker Vindicator.

From Model Hobbies:
1:35 Zvezda Spetznaz
1:35 Alanger Spetznaz
Still waiting on the Revell MAN 7t. 6x6 truck I ordered from them.

From ebay:
1:35 ICM Russian Sappers (Afghan Campaign) - comes with four blokes, a dog and a pack donkey.
1:35 ICM Russian Special Forces (Afghan Campaign) x2 - three figures, plus an NSV heavy machine gun on tripod.

The 1:35 stuff is all going to go towards the post-apocalyptic gang/militia I have planned. The MAN truck will be their "mothership", and there will be a couple of smaller vehicles as well - probably a jeep or Land Rover of some sort, and maybe a motorbike. The fighures will all be modified with duster coats, ponchos, hats etc, and given a motley assortment of weapons and equipment. I want to do a diorama of the whole lot eventually, though I've not decided on the details yet. I wanted to do this in 1:72, but there just isn't the range of figures I wanted in that scale.

It's probably a little too late now, but has anyone attempted to do a running tally of the total cost of the stuff we've bought so far?

[Nigel Bunker]

Total it up, and if you thought the British national debt was big, well............................

It's probably a little too late now, but has anyone attempted to do a running tally of the total cost of the stuff we've bought so far?

I keep all my old bills and one day I decided to go through the Hannants ones I'd collected since I started modelling again. I got a quarter way through the pile and stopped for fear of having a heart attack 

Collectively it's a fair old amount but a lot of the money is being recirculated etc via E-Bay so you wouldn't count that as it would double counting - oops just put the old marketing stats hat on again------sorry 

[pyro-manic]

I wouldn't dare, to be honest. "Too much" covers it quite adequately.
