SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

[rastanz]

Hey guys, long time no post. Recently added a couple of rare kits (rare in my neck of the woods) to my ever growing collection.

 

[Jakko]

Blue Thunder! I used to watch that show all the time when I was young(er than I think I still am).

 

[Bodeen]

I picked these up at the AMPS show in Camp Hill in May. I won the 1/35 Soar Art Dora at the show as well. Its a BIG kit and our local 3 Rivers AMPS chapter is doing a group build on it. We start on 12 July. Wish us luck.

I picked these up

Congrats, good luck and Wow, nice haul!
Eying that WC57/56, Pattonmobile!

I had the Skybow release. I built it when it was released. I'd like to think my skills have improved. I'm going to try again.

...that is called breadth of experience!

Delivery guy found his way to my front door despite road closures and redirects for Canada Day celebrations happening just down the hill from me.


Less interested in rivets, more for seams on scratch tarps, fabric, satchels, and very soon, rifle bags for my WC 55!

Yeah, great show and I liked the movie too... Kit was sent via stampede post The box was badly damaged, hopefully the kit itself isn't, I'll soon see once I start building it. I was too chicken to open the box to check the parts.

Postman Pat dropped these off on my doorstep.






Guess there will be some Star Wars models coming up.

A few weeks ago I bought an ancient Itaelerei kit of the Crusader cruiser tank, now the most recent reissue of it because I can't get myself to build a kit that's been untouched for almost fifty years. Plus some odds and ends for generic use.

I can feel your pain. I have a neighbour who has a pristine 1/48 Hobby Craft Avro Arrow kit, still sealed in the plastic. I believe its the release from 1987.
He keeps asking me if I would build it for him. It almost seems like a sin to open the box.
I keep pointing out the value of the kit in its current state.

 

[BarleyBop]

@Glenn S
Given the Avro's history, probably more accurate to leave it unbuilt!

I agree: if it's that old and in basically new condition, do not build it. He'll probably be able to sell it to a kit collector fairly easily as long as nothing happens to it like removing plastic, opening bags, etc. Buy a new one to actually build.

5mm & 3mm silicone tools to add to the 8mm ones I already have.
And a few more clay/putty modeling tools.



Everything I need for that cuneiform book I intend to write:

The modeler's guide to beer making
or
what to do with that mash
when your bread making doesn't pan out!​
