Some interesting books you found there James! Again I ask where did you find them?
On my trip to Tulsa, Paulw took me out to a little hobby shop up in Owasso which is a small town up a little north northeast of Tulsa on highway 169.
There I found an old 1/32 scale kit of a Beechcraft Staggerwing. As I think about it, seems like this kit went through my hands/stash about 25 or 30 years ago. I knew it was a pretty poor kit and only is good as a starting point. If I had to rate it on a Harry Potter scale it would get the "T" for Troll grade. it's real basic and everything will need to be reworked or scratchbuilt.
I also picked up this one while I was there:
Picked this up for a possible on the Micro Build coming up:
And found this in my storage building. Forgot all about them. Actually pretty decent kits of the Stooges.
Might use them for the figure build coming up, unless someone has a better idea. They actually interlock together and this is a scene from one of their movies. Think I have it on video. Will see.

paint trays with brush holders
Airbrush cleaner tools
Other carving and drilling tools
Some great Tamiya cobblestone sheet x2 (yes its 3D)
Meng nuts and bolts - really impressive at a good price.
The opposite side has bolt heads.
Sci-fi detail stuff, like only the Japanese can do.......
WW2
Some new seat belts from fine molds, but plastic injection and super fine!

Just got my last purchase in the mail today. Now have to wait until my first paycheck from the new job. Also first time using the new camera. I still have much to learn. So this was just taken on easy mode. Was also excited to learn that it came with Adobe Photoshop :yipee

Archer's fantastic 25% off for their 25th anniversary...
Amazon and Barnes and Nobles both had a 30% off coupon:
some goodies from a friend:
Sale over at Models-Hobby.com, part of my order... Sci-Fi things thanks to Mr. T's work.
A friend sends me this 1/16th scale head and leaves me wondering why he never finished the figure. I told him about this post so be honest,should he go on? This was designed to be used on Trumpeter's 1/16th scale T-34 series but any will do.

He should continue its excellent!
Nerdling - nice photo with the new camera.
Some more new stuff
My HB from WINGNUTS came while I was in Japan
Picked up a 1/18 v1 model - it's basic but big and should make a nice visual display.
Also picked up one of these - An Academy Sopwith Camel. It was only $20.00!
The detail is very well molded and is really quite a nice kit. They do a newport as well.....Wingnuts haven't done either of these as yet. A nice alternative for ww1 aircraft if you can't afford the WNW kits. It seems everyone is doing WW1 stuff at the moment. :frantic

I had weak moment at the LHS while shopping for other stuff.
Yes, that's the new M3A3 Bradley. Haven't opened it yet, looking forward to that Bradley campaign we're going to do!

Seeing these new Bradleys has me seriously thinking about picking one up. Built one about 20 years ago, and would love to build another one.
Got a package in the mail today that I've been eagerly anticipating, my punch sets from RP Toolz in Hungary.
3 sets of punches. A Hex punch set, micro punch (.5-2mm) and large punch set (2-4.5mm)

:woohoo:
Please say you have used them - you know "tested" them. I've wonder about something like these myself.
