Oh dear...

Are you saying oh dear because you're moving and want to sell them and you don't know how to go about it?

 

[Pantherman]

I think it's more like.

Oh dear, I'm Rob and I have an addiction....

So you're in the perfect place. Pantherman

 

[Edbert]

SM Addicts?

 

[Edbert]

Oh dear...

If you see that as money sunk it could be negative, but that could be part of your retirement fund the way WnW prices are going.

 

[Pantherman]

SM Addicts?

Yes

Excuse me sir? But this is a biplane build. I don't see...ah who am I kidding? Awesome collection. Wow you got some nice kits. And is it a safe bet to say you probably got those for a good price?

Those are all original buys while the kits were still in production. I've got a bad "collection" habit. Is this group going to make me actually build one? That's why "oh dear".

Decisions, decisions, decisions! Looks like a good problem to have!

 

[wjbrandel]

Got mine in the mail today

And to make the build easier

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Nice choice. Let me know in a week or so if you think that stand is worth it.

I want to see the Roden kit for the same reasons!

 

[Edbert]

Houston?

We have a problem!

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Kind of confused. Does that mean you bought those? If so, nice, real nice. But what's the problem? Oh, wait a minute. You didn't tell your wife did you?

I earn more than 3x her salary, but yeah. these go in the stash. Call them investments if you will.

Edit, just won a 4th, but still angry that one got away for way less than half the going rate since I was momentarily not paying attention.

Cool. And, just for the record. I don't care what you or anyone else makes. I was just trying to make a stupid joke and maybe bring a smile to someone while this world explodes and I sure as s*** don't want to go to guns

I will let both of you know when I break them out. How ever I have watched several Roden model reviews, they get high praise from the 4 or 5 reviewers that I watched.
Right now I'm working on my painting skills by painting some 28mm miniatures (also a break after working on BB35).

 

[Edbert]

I have a 10-day holiday approaching starting on the 26th, just admitting that I'll be starting a few days before July 1st.

Guaranteed I'll not be one of the first to finish. I'm a little on the slow side, but easily distracted by squirrels.

I might join you because I think right about then I'll be done with my Panther Tank

 

[Ron2]

I might join you because I think right about then I'll be done with my Panther Tank

And I'll probably join as well since I have no self control!

 

[BarleyBop]

I might join you

And I'll probably join as well

We could use a little R & R!

And mine is whispering "build me" while I sit at my desk

Mine too, but I've got a few WIPs I'm trying to wrap up.

Lucky. I don't have anything in progress

 

[BarleyBop]

I don't have anything in progress

@Pantherman would say: "perfect time to tidy up, clean the bench, replace knife blades, thoroughly clean the airbrush, oil the tools, research the aircraft and memorize the instructions."

...Then start tomorrow!

Oh you know me so well.... but you did leave out turning all the paint bottles so that the labels all line up.... Pantherman

 

[Pantherman]

This flew in a few minutes ago and insisted that I build it so I will save the tiger moth for another day.

I have slightly opened the box..... but only to get the paint colours. I haven't started..... honest.... yet.

That's exactly what I thought and I got it half price. Pantherman

Half price? Really? Nice. That's new tooling

 

[Pantherman]

Yeah, really pleased as I don't often pick up bargains. Pantherman
