Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

I love the jungle patrol set. The British officers all look as if they have stiff upper lips :woohoo:
How does the Middle eastern Diorama set look inside the box?
And I would love an inbox look at the tanklet.

Don't they all have that? always thought the brittish officers looked that way :D

Hope the trouble in Ukraine won't affect Masterbox and their new releases!

The Middle Eastern Diorama is full of vacuum formed and injection molded polystyrene. A look inside will come later.

For the tankette, look on the Home Page or here then!

That mini-Tank looks cool!

It is cool and, according to my wife, cute!

I use the Hobby Knife when I glue something on crooked and have to remove it for re-gluing. That's usually when it happens. Otherwise, I do exactly as you've described. I always seem to glue something on crooked because a part slips just as the CA glue sets..... :facepalm

Then you should stock up on Debonder. Acetone (nail polish remover) works well.

Regards,

Good advice. My wife gave me a bottle of Nail Polish Remover some time ago; she gave it to me since she never wears nail polish.

Nice scores too. I have a few birthday presents to myself I will be posting soon.

I thought I had already posted this yesterday. Somehow it didn't take.

Nice scores Chuck! I remember all those.

Yesterday I went to the Pasadena Valleycon with plenty of birthday money in my pocket.

Now here are all my "birthday presents" that I got for myself at Valleycon. Man, I love having a model contest after my birthday!

First off, all these stowage sets from Value Gear. All these are in 1/72 scale:

General sets of boxes, tarps, packs, fuel cans and drums:

More general sets:

German Truck Bed Loads:

Allied Truck Bed Loads:

My apologies for the blurriness here. If you want better pics, let me know.



Now here are the troops those supplies are for, LOL! I got these guys partially for display and partially to reinforce my wargame armies:

I picked this up for a song. I think I'll build it alongside two other boats I have:

This is the second of two Nord Noratlases that I have now. I plan on making one French and one German:

And finally, I just couldn't resist getting this. It is close enough to 1/72 scale and besides, it is different enough that I just wanted to have it:

That's all I have for now. I also have some progress pics to post later so stay tuned to my Maddog Manufacturing Threads.

I always thought that HO was 1/87 scale? Isn't that a fair bit smaller than 1/72 scale? One inch has a 15 inch scale diffrence which is over a foot. Is HO and 1/72 realy compatible?

I do have a couple 1/72 scale cars and trucks that could potentially go in front of this. Still, I would love to get the rest of these cars if they only made them in 1/72 scale!

Yes, American HO is 1/87 scale. I'm hoping that this is 'different' enough so that the scale difference ain't as noticeable. If it is, then I'll still keep it and hope that I can get an HO scale layout to put it on. It is such a unique and iconic building that I really wanted to have in my collection.
