Mega score, Dora and more..

[fantacmet]

So a guy was clearing out his dad's house apparently, and needed to move his dad's kits quickly. I noticed he had that old Dora rail gun, so I asked how much. He said 100 bucks and it had been started. Well the work performed was minimal and done well so I jumped on it. Since some parts were mixed with other kits he gave me all of these for the same hundred bucks. I tossed him the rest of the cash I had, so 140 bucks. I cant wait to build these.

Most of these have tons of aftermarket stuff in them as well. This Dora has been a dream kit of mine. I intend to build it perfect enough to do his dad's proud.

Fantastic loot score!! I'm envious and I don't even build armor (yet)!!

I don't know how much of an accuracy nut you are, but I recently learned that the barrel on the Dora kit is far too long. It almost looks like they took the length for the barrel including a proposed extension for firing "arrow" projectiles, and then stretched the real barrel shape to that length.

But regardless, that must be the deal of the year

Came here expecting to see an FW190D, this was a cool surprise and nice find, not even mentioning the price.

 

[Glenn S]

That's quite a find!
Whats the draw towards the big guns?

Whats the draw towards the big guns?

I'm guessing the fact that they are big guns In my own stash is the IKit M65 atomic cannon, for basically that reason, anyway

Ive always wanted that Dora kit, and he just threw the rest in. Who am I to say no? I went back today and dropped another Benjamin. Got another stack of kits at 5-10 bucks each, many with lots of aftermarket goodies. INCLUDING Italeris big 34 scale Shcnellboot with the Lion Roar set. 5 bucks. Tamiya FULL Dragon Wagon in 35 scale. I need to go back get a couple WWII American tanks for that and the Landing Craft.

The mother load!
So, El Dorado isn't a myth!

No, El Dorado isn't a myth, our private road is of the same name (the wife named it) no gold but 400 acres of trees that we are in the process
turning into gold, although at a very high cost of life and limb.

 

[Grumpa]

So Mr P, just how many lifetimes have you put aside to complete all these kits?
Oh, and a hundred bucks for that haul? What caliber weapon did you use to close that deal?

 

[fantacmet]

Ive got several together already.

 

[mustang1989]

What a great deal just on the Dora gun itself. That kit is going for around $800-$1000 depending on where you get it from what I'm seeing. WOW!!! Score of a life time. That puppy outta take up a fair amount of room too.

 

[TimM63]

That is one massive kit. Dora kit on sale at Squadron for $999.99

 

[Jakko]

You think that's big?

This is Dora in 1:6 scale … I'm guessing the crew consists of Dragon action figures.

You've got work for the rest of your life! So, I only have Trumpeter's Leopold, which I'm also preparing to start building, along with a German steam locomotive (BR-86). Good work.
