SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

[JohnSimmons]

[Elm City Hobbies]

Few new ones this week:

Probably my 2nd favorite aircraft, behind the F-14

Revell Germany 1/35 LKW 2t tmil gl (Unimog) Truck

 

[Quaralane]

Mine are in transit from Japan as we speak! Should be here sometime next week.

I know the feeling

 

[Grendels]

From what I have seen, they look to be good kits, but there might be a few issues with the Advanced TIE. The shape doesn't correlate well with the fine molds kit. I won't know for sure until they get here.....

 

[Zemmix]

I thought I remembered reading that the scale of the FM tie was too small to actually be 72 scale. I never bothered buying the FM kit so I can't compare... But the details on the Bandai kit blow it out of the water from what I see.


FM left, Bandai right

 

[JohnSimmons]

Mmm that does look better....

 

[Grendels]

It does look better. Once mine gets here, I will do a side by side comparison.

 

[The Chaos]

New in the month


New kits from Telford.

 

[Quaralane]

Got my Bandai TIE Advanced and X-wing from HLJ today.
Boy, do they look sharp

 

[WebbyNZ]

I got all 3 of the new Bandai kits earlier this week. 'snapped' together Vader in acouple of hours as it is very much Gundam style, which is not a bad thing. A couple of different finishes and some fantastic texture makes for a nice looking kit.
Like most Gunpla it is not strong enough to be a toy but needs a clear/flat coat to look decent in the cabinet.
I love the option of both stickers and waterslide.

Looking at the xwing it does have slightly different dimensions to the FM kit but looks to have as good if not better detail. Will be investing to see the size of the panel lines when assembled.

 

[The Chaos]

New Kits.

 

[hook1169]

New stuff!

A few books for reference material and study. The Bismarck book is hopefully going to help when i finally pull the trigger on one of those giant 1/250 kits and do an epic build. My skills need work first. Still have only completed 3 kits since returning to the hobby. The World War II A photgraphic History is HUGE, 600pages!

And my Stash Additions. Can not wait to dive in to one of the Eduard kits, espectially the 1/48 SpitFire... Just went and got a little Hobby Craft A-4E to practice some stuff on like panel lines etc. As I have not built a wingy thingy, yet. Will post a few pics for advice once I get it along a bit more.

 

[Quaralane]

Newest addition to the stash, the Aztecs for the new Polar Lights 1/1000 Reliant

 

[Elm City Hobbies]

Couple more this week:

Revell Germany 1/24 Bentley 4,5L Blower Car

I have the 1/12 Airfix version of this car as well...figure may as well try my had at a smaller version first!!

Can't have too many 911s

Another Ducati....again, can never have too many Ducatis!

 

[Zemmix]

I picked this up last weekend. My first PG kit and first lighted kit.

 

[WebbyNZ]

Nice. I have mine waiting in my private warehouse and led in back order.
It really does look like Bandai have taken another step forward w the lighting of this, as if their engineering was not already ahead of the competition.

 

[Vknight401]

went to the barn today and bought myself some gifts

 

[The Chaos]

My last New in the Stash for 2014

 

[Vknight401]

[Quaralane]

This little lady's been given a new home.....namely mine. Thanks very much to the kind donor

 

[MrNatural]

I recently had an unbelievable good luck streak on Ebay and scored some kits I've been wanting for a long time now. 1st up is the Polar Lights Space Cruiser C-57D from the film Forbidden Planet.

Next up is the Polar Lights Jupiter 2. Another killer deal.

Grabbed these little guys from starshipmodeler.com

 

[WebbyNZ]

Been a while since I updated with my latest acquisitions so here we go.
Add me to the list of people who took advantage in the recent sales from a local online store.
Been after a 12C for a while now.


And from late last year a couple of boxes from HLJ thanks to some bday and xmas money. Includes detail parts etc to make my Tamiya Panigale into the Senna edition, a scale version of the 1:1 scale Rx-78-2 we saw in Japan. The Hi-nu which will part of a group build with a couple of kiwi Gunpla fans.


December was the arrival of the Bandai Star Wars kits, some F15's for a special project later in the year


And a couple of massive Gundam kits I have been wanting for a long time.
The Neo Zeong, which although it is only 1/144 scale, has a box that is as wide as our hallway

And the latest Perfect Grade, the Unicorn with full LED kit and 3 modes. (that 4 a4 size organizers behind it)


The Ichiban brushes that I backed on Kickstarter arrived, still waiting for something to use them on :-/


These great lights from local craft store, only $40


and for $40 from Bunnings (hardware store) a great toolbox that meant going away for a week to stay with in-laws didn't result in styrene withdrawal

 

[Hoggarth]

I've got three other projects on the desk right now, but I've always wanted to have a Memphis Belle, so I picked this up.

 

[Quaralane]

The Belle was one of the very first models I ever did as a kid

 

[cargoman5126]
