One of the things I got w/ my birthday money finally showed up, 4 days late. Apparently the USPS feels that Birmingham, Alabama is now located between Atlanta, Georgia & Charlotte, North Carolina. So much for 2 day shipping. Ordered last Sunday, shipped on Tuesday, should have been here on Thursday, finally got it on Monday.
So anyway. Artwox wood deck set for my 1/400 Queen Mary 2 build. This set looks great. 2 sheets in the kit for the decking, also includes anchor chain.
Hopefully tomorrow the other item I bought for this build w/ birthday money will show up, a Gold Medal Models photoetch set.

Adam,
The deck set looks very interesting. Can you tell us how it's made up. I can't figure it out from the pictures. Is it laser cut, or printed on a laser cut background? Will you need to x-acto the pieces off the sheet or what?
Thanks and happy building!

And amazingly the Gold Medal Models photoetch set I showed up today. Not entirely sure I'd purchase from the same ebay seller again in the future, but it was a good deal and it arrived, so I can live w/ it.
This set is just crazy. I'm really worried now I've bitten off a lot more than I can chew w/ this build, haha.
There are 150 folding lounge chairs, 90 tanning lounges, and 12 cafe tables w/ 70 chairs.
They even include a captain figure.
Trying to decide whether to pull the kit out and start some basic construction, so that I can start planning out wiring & lighting, and start figuring out what photoetch I need to make up to go w/ what came in the GMM set.

Wow, Adam, that's a lot of Photo-etch! But with your skills, I know you can do it.
James, that is incredible! I would love to have one of those "terminators" in 1/72 scale.....

Not model related, but I found a First Edition (1931) copy of a book written from the diaries of a first cousin (twice removed), Capt. James Charles Critchell Bullock. He met John Hornby in Edmonton and between 1923 and 1926, he accompanied him into Canada's north, living off the land in the area between Great Slave Lake and Hudson Bay. They survived their expedition but barely. Hornby was not so lucky on his next trip, his three man party succumbed to starvation during the winter of 1926-27.
J.C.C. Bullock had previously served with the 18th King George's Own Lancers, British Indian Army (now 19th Lancers, Pakistan Army) in France and Palestine as part of the Indian Cavalry Corps during WW1.
Cheers,
Rich

Big box from Asia came yesterday! AFV Club, Meng, Trumpeter were in attendance but the AMK L-29 Delfin was delayed. Also expected was a package with new scalpel handles & blades, LifeColor Tank Interior paints, and resin tid bits.
Let's begin with the AFV Club:
I love it when a vendor tosses in stuff and asks for a review. Sadly, I don't have any of these kits so I will be sending the large scale ones to James Knaus.
The anti-skid texture seems too fine for me. The ammunition comes with PE and decals.
OK, this means I need to get rid of my Valentine Mk II since this Rotatrailer comes with a complete Valentine Mk II kit!
AFV Club must be really proud of this kit as it is the most elaborate box ever. New sprues include the reactive armor and weapons.
This is the four wheel drive version of the earlier kit.
