Time for another quick update. With some primer applied to the barrel it turned out nice and round. :dude: Thus it was time for some more assembly into bigger parts, etc. With the barrel done and some primer having been applied, I decided to do a quick "fit" together. It is QUITE a bit...

Sounds like you have a few interested parties that like your little jewels. the fact that you have many ships already built can help a lot with the short time left. For the students a little history to go with each craft might be a plus for them to know what they actually receive.

Yeah, many dealers low ball values in order to make more money. In some cases they are being a realistic business person. In others they are basically rip off artists.

Trumpeter is supposed to be doing a 1/35th Ka-52, so that is something to look forward to. I also picked up their Kamov naval helicopter with the double rotors. Damn! that 1/35th Hind looks just as good up close!

Looks like the table part is still in reasonably decent shape. Yeah you could spend some time doing a really nice clean up/ restoration and maybe get $1500+ from it. After that thought I suspect it might be well worth a small chunk to someone out there that would like it and spend some time...

Is this the one that was Large Scale Planes?

I liked your 1/35th scale build. Don't knock building a so-so kit. It gives experience that pays off when working on a very expensive kit. It is possible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be perfect for you alone.

What you are doing is the basis for reaching for the outlandish and challenging builds. It takes practice and in some cases a fair amount of planning when attempting something special. Keep going for it! You got this! ============= I have the double Zvezda/Eduard 1/72 double kit and the...

The Pak 40 kit from Das Werk I finished last year had a lot of good points but it had a LOT of omitted parts, and the shield had a couple of BIG issues that I was able to tackle, modify, and correct. Those issues will also be on the SdKfz 251/22 which has the Pak 40 mounted on it and while the...

Well Andy popped up with a bunch of 1/16th figures. Some in the $20 range, a couple of others much more, but will be perfect additions to stuff I have in stash or are currently building. @Tim A. If you are interested in figures for your Tiger or tank builds, the two Classy Hobby figures would...

Looks like the kit is only a basic starting point for a build if you are one for detailing. (after looking at the review)

I am waiting on the new 1/32 Hybrid kits that Eduard are coming out with.

@Sharkmouth I can hear the groan and "Oh HELL NO!" from Bob now. Saúl those photos are really tempting me to try a Rosie build, but not now, and not for a LONG while. Even the imposter's photos give some really good info and weathering examples so keep them coming.

Looks really good Chris!

NOT another bloody car, but ANOTHER INTERESTING BUILD!!!! I will be looking forward to this one Paddy. There is nothing wrong with having a special kit and not building it yet as you don't feel ready yet. I have a number of those type kits. Every new build I do seems to challenge my skills...
