Re: My stash just grew again (2017)

[Dizzyfugu]

For the upcoming Soviet GB I ordered some Red Star decals and sets with RS-82 missiles. You never know...

At my local model club meeting today, there was the regular monthly raffle of 3 different kits. I didn't win anything "officially". But one of the kits won by another modeler was a Hasegawa 1/72 Ace Combat ASF-X Shinden II. But the first guy who won it gave it to another modeler whom he thought might enjoy it. But apparently, the two people got into a "slight" debate/argument about wanting or not wanting the kit. So I turned to them and jokingly said "Look, if neither of you guys wants it, then I'll take it.".  Next thing I know, the second guy who recieved the kit from the original first guy, turns to me and hands me the kit. 

[TheChronicOne]

Score!!  Who wouldn't want that?!!?   

[Dizzyfugu]

Now that's a deal! I would not mind another Shinden... and if it was only for the pile. 

[seadude]

Well, I'm not going to do anything with the Shinden kit right now. It'll just sit in my stash for the moment collecting dust. As I said, I only "jokingly" said I'd take it. I never expected to actually get it. But if for any reason the other modelers want it back and this was all some mistake, then they can have it back. I can always get another with my tax refunds.

Not a stash addition. But an increase in caperbility.

This monster has been added to my "tool box".


Its an entry level machine with a built in 3d scanner unit.
Its going to be a long learning curve, but im already doing some trial builds.
For now its purly for personal use, so unsolicited "requests" will be ignored.

[Steel Penguin]

That looks shiney Martin     good luck with the learning curve on it
I look forward to seeing what can be done

[Army of One]

Oh OGL cool.......was it expensive.....?  I had thought of getting one a little while ago but couldn't justify the price. I believe the basic models are cheaper now....

[TheChronicOne]

Use it to print another printer!!   


But anyway... that's awesome. I hope you come up with some marvelous results. Aren't there online databases and stuff where design files can be downloaded to be printed off? 

[Dizzyfugu]

Feel the itch to build some more vintage 1:100 Macross VF-1s... found evidence of Zentraedi squadrons in the official timeline odf the series, in weird colors and markings, and in order to add some depth to this project I ordered an 1:8 resin pilot figure (Gundam, though, but it's juts the base) to be converted into a fictional Meltraedi character who's a flight or squadron leader. Her mount will then be one of the VF-1 builds, and I'll add a standard fighter, too - maybe for some nice formation flight shots.

Use it to print another printer!!    ... 

Not a good idea.  That's how Skynet gets started...

[The Wooksta!]

From ebay:

AZ/KP Spitfire mk Vb "Aces" boxing - includes Bob Stanford Tuck.

Awaiting from a mate - for some reason, my ebay simply couldn't find it
Attack Squadron Spitfire PR.XI Deluxe - this one has lots of lovely spare bits and markings, although most being US are unusable. I don't do US marked aircraft.

Also awaiting from ebay:
Massive box of Spitfire spares.  There's at least 8 kits off their sprues, plus a CMR Seafire FR47.

[McColm]

Got hold of the 1/72 Revell TXF F-111A and B kit.
1/72 Attack Squadron C-130 engines and propellers, plus wheels.

[PR19_Kit]

Got hold of the 1/72 Revell TXF F-111A and B kit.

Well done, they're not so easy to find these days, and a good source of the short nose and long wings for the -B, even if they lack a little in the accuracy stakes.

Not that we give a fig for that on here of course.
