SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

[Down Time]

These two pulled up to the stash while I was at work wanting to be let in.
It was my duty to oblige them.

The 962 is an amazing machine, I remember being at the track when those monsters came screaming past. Awesome days!

Hit the 40% off sale at Hobby Lobby. I'm a sucker for deals.

Nice looking Liberator.

 

[BarleyBop]

Oh boy... lots of words... and lots of pictures!
Some inspiration and background reading. ...Just sitting in the mailbox!

...and somehow, these were in the back seat!

Picked up another NASCAR build for the near future.

I was considering a 1/48 B-36 but then I did a size comparison between the B-36 and the B-29. I have a 1/48 B-29 hanging on the wall. I decided it would be best to get a 1/72 B-36. LOL

 

[Jakko]

How large is it?!!

The real thing was 49.40 m long with a 70.1 m wingspan, so that makes the model almost 70 cm long and nearly a metre wide … Needs deep shelves, I'd say

 

[TimM63]

This one fell into the stash today.

I'm beginning to wonder about the building aspect of this hobby.
Is it about building the kit or building the stash?

I'm thinking both.

You, me, both Brother.
Problem now is I have more stash queens.

There was a recent garage sale by a member of my local IPMS club, he's reached the point where he can no longer build which is very sad, but he was selling off several years of old and new kits. I beleive the total was in excess of 3,000 kits.

I'd say in his case the point was the latter. I mean assuming you can start-to-finish a kit in a month (I cannot) and you have 3K kits, it will take 250 years to finish those.

Arrived today, very excited by this kit as it's a "What if" so my choice of options for paint scheme etc are widened and narrowing the opportunity for anyone to offer their tuppence worth berate me and tell me I'm wrong in how I've painted it.
Just watched Mojo Rising Modelling's build videos on YouTube and he has also decided to not stick to the marking scheme options in the box.

Me too, returned to the hobby in 2023 having to start from scratch after 38 years. I've bought pretty much everything I need (including about 10 airbrushes) or should I say I think I need after watching hundreds of build videos, reviews on youTube, forums etc. My stash is now over 60 kits and only just about to finish my first model...

 

[PatW]

In the post!

Odd for me, I normally go for planes with floats and propellers!

Ooooh that is a cool subject! Please post in-progress pics, I'd love to see this one go together.

 

[Edbert]

Not in my stash, and not sure where to put this, but how about a 1:1 scale B-17 model?

No room? Yeah, mybe just the cockpit?

[Jakko]

Interesting Reading the article, I thought he might be turning it into a flight simulator, but apparently he wants to donate it to a museum instead.

I've been good at not buying a new one until I finished the one I'm working on. But after this weekend I now have a Tamiya BF 109 and this weekend I ordered a Tamiya Tiger and an Academy SBD. So now I have three in the stash. Feels good.
