[TimM63]

Had to get this one.

 

[Down Time]

Stashing it or building it?

Stashing it or building it?

Going in the stash for now

 

[Down Time]

It is as much fun acquiring kits as it is building them, so grows the stash.
I only have around 20 kits, my wife is already wondering how am I going to build them all.......
One at a time

 

[TimM63]

Add another one to the stash.

What scale?

 

[TimM63]

What scale?

1/48

 

[TimM63]

I couldn't resist picking this one up.
Polar Lights 1/25 Speed Racer Mach V

 

[C.A. Whitecloud]

Group build on the Mach 5?

Group build on the Mach 5?

Absolutely. After I am done with my diorama.

Due to concussion, bruised ribs and a broken collarbone, my progress wasn't great.

I did buy a Special Hobby Tempest 2 kit, with engine and more stuff for less than that engine cost by itself, a Spitfire cockpit and a load of photoetch and masking material.

You're doing the whole hobby-bench thing all wrong with injuries like that .

These were not related to this hobby. Loose, wet leaves and a bit too much to drink made me examine the street much too closely (I was biking back from a friend's house).

Add another one to the stash.

Yeah, apparently this is the Lindberg TBF kit. Round2 owns both Lindberg and AMT, so they released it under the AMT label.
I've got a bagged kit of it but haven't got around to building it yet. It should be a fun nostalgia build!

 

[TimM63]

Two kits arrived today. I'm building the LST for my dad as he served on the USS Hillsborough County (LST-827) during the Korean War.
The U-boat is for a group build we are doing.

The last of my Christmas gifts from my stepson arrived today. The B-17 is 1/48, PBY is 1/72.

I just built the same PBY-5. It's a great kit.

The B-17 was my first build getting back into this, it's a good kit, I found the clear acrylics had some fitting issues.

1/48 cars, trucks, bomb Dollie's, etc.

 

[Down Time]

Trucks are Tamiya, there was a bomb cart in the B-24 I used as a template, scratch built 6 of them.
Here's the other half.

I was wondering how long it would be before the rest of it made an appearance...lol... It is a wonderful display for sure.

Thanks!! It was my first project getting into this.

Did you use plain polystyrene for the runways, or a special product? Don't really mean to tie-up this thread but that is really cool and inspiring.

Linoleum floor tiles cut into quarters and painted concrete color.

Cool idea, I have a box in the basement

I got a surprise package today. Almost like Christmas all over again.
