[OldNYJim]

Few stash-adds today…bunch of fun stuff…

A few more of these for my stash…

Some cool AMT built ups, an old Monogram (I think) Deuce, plus a resin Model A by ??

One of these - missing some little bits, but a tonne of useful vintage drag parts ARE in there…

A showrod I didn’t have…

Plus, on a slight tangent, found these while looking for something else…15 years and I still managed to resist the temptation to see what’s in them…

Got an early birthday gift from my wife and kids. Have been wanting to build this ship for 20 years, my dad have been diving on it way back and the found an armory, even though there is almost nothing left of the ship. It sank close to where my Norwegian part of the family lives. And it was also positioned in Narvik during the war, which is where my family have a cottage. So allot of connection to the monster of a ship! Will ad some minor changes such as replacing the typical svastica with the Iron cross and I might buy a deck, but I won’t ad any PE since this version already comes with PE and 1180+ pieces! 

 

Was that the sister ship to the Bizmark?

Didn't get the today, but over the past weekend picked these up at a swap meet. Both kits are open but unbuilt and still in the plastic. 

I like that killer bee,? I have been wanting one of them!

Yes it was, and it was active bigger part of the war, and even though it didn’t make much actual difference in the war due to fuel rationing and it stayed most of its time hidden in north Norway. It took allot of resources from the allied to try to sink it, and they even blew up a dry dock in France to limit the possibility’s for repairs. 

For me this is local history since it was in Narvik, where we have our cottage as mentioned, and was sunk not far from where my grandparents live. 

I believe that Bismarck is more famous only thanks to propaganda, the battleship that the allied sunk on its maiden voyage.

The vendor had probably 30 kits total,2-3 of each and this was the only one. Maybe I should keep my eyes open, I know there's trading on the site.

My ‘64 Bonneville continues to do pretty well!

I entered her a in the NordicCon show in Inver Grove Heights Minnesota yesterday and managed to bring home a couple more goodies for the trophy cabinet.

Gold in the “Factory Stock” category, and a best in show for non-competition cars.

 

 

All in all, this model has produced pretty well for me, picking up 6 awards in 4 different shows over the summer months.

Latest box from HobbyLink Japan

Also a few things from LB Production. The Leon AMG sheet and wheels are direct replacements for the ones that come in the Leon AMG kit that Tamiya did. I have other decal schemes that need those Super GT specific rims and frankly who wants to wrestle with Tamiya kit decals.

Got a Mack valueliner 6cylinder conversion kit, already have the v8 valueliner conversion from auslowe so now i can build both verisons of the valueliner. The difference i can see in them is that the v8 has a sloping hood and complete wheelarches as the 6cyl version has a more straight hood a bit shorter and seperate wheelarches for the right side where the aircleaner are, the 6cylinder conversion also comes with 2 different sunvisors.

All the way from Japan to me today.  The kit was in a shipping envelope and surprisingly no damage. However, the seller taped the bubble wrap directly to the face of the box art. Even with alcohol on a Q-tip and gentle pulling I still had a few small tears on the box art. I'll live since I'm more interested in the box contents. When I gave my feedback I added some photos and made the seller aware of the horrors of tape and model boxes. Hopefully they will take the advice.

Forgot to add these items, while I picked up the Ford PU, I stopped at a local hobby shop. I like finding places while traveling.

Well deserved Steve! Your models are simply amazing and an inspiration to the rest of us mere scale modeling mortals here. Thank you for all the effort you put into posting here and sharing your techniques.

A few goodies. The lotus happened to come with two complete kits! 

[atomicholiday]

Got one of my grail kits today!  I’ve wanted one of these since the mid 70’s.  Our classroom had a little model car show one day (this was elementary school) and one of the kids brought this in.  His older brother had built it, and it blew my young mind!  I never forget that model.

Thank you Atlantis for bringing this awesome kit back!
