That plastic putty mask is very nice. I like using it

Haven't tried it yet, but looks promising!

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

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!​

 

[Edbert]

It is probably an old one, but I just heard it yesterday...

I see "1/32" is on the box, does that mean build one and buy 32?

 

[Edbert]

These came in today. The J20 will complete my collection of F-22/F-35/Su-57, and the toon-tiger2 was just too cute to ignore on sale.

 

[PatW]

A 3D Toon Chevy Pick-Up- it arrived today, being 3D printed the parts need trimming to fit.

 

[Down Time]

For that rainy day with nothing to do.

Yup, instructions are printed on the back of the box, easy peasy, lemon squeasy.
Might do this version.

I would certainly like to see that. Pantherman

You know what, I'd love to. But only if didn't need to make a living!
But I'd run one as a hobby.

Recently added a 1/25 scale '85 Cutlass & 1/1 scale '86 to the work load.
Testing different shades of red for both versions.

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.

Now that's serious research. Pantherman

For those days when the bench is not the place to be, but curled up on the verandah for a good read....

Daniele Guglielmi? ISTR that name from some articles about Italian vehicles in Military Modelling long ago.

I don't have your history with the hobby, but I feel I've seen the name in some of the other online references while searching up the Topo.
Pretty hit and miss with material on the interwebs, so I decided to bite the bullet on these... given my dalliance with Italian vehicles, there are bound to be more to build, and it will be good to have had a good overview of the subject.

The Su-57 came in from Poland, technically the only thing "new" but my stash is up to 15 unopened kits now. I'm imposing a halt for now. With 15 in waiting and another 8 that have been started and not finished, I need to focus on clearing the latter ones first.

This is my ENTIRE stash...

Not a bad start.
Word of caution; don't leave them in the dark for too long, like rabbits I tell you, like rabbits......
