Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

Its 75mm scale. This is my second Irbis Miniatures figure and both are from the Art section.

The 2 I have are http://irbis-miniatures.com/magazin/product/knight-ar-the-crossroad and http://irbis-miniatures.com/magazin/product/a-grey-beard-but-lusty-heart

They are cast in grey resin and are very crisp and well detailed. They come boxed in strong containers and well packed. I wouldn't mind getting some of the Cossacks and I'm surprised my wife hasn't asked for the Board Walk Empire vignette.

Had this show up in the mail today. Think I got a pretty good deal on it, 10 bucks plus 8 bucks shipping.

Going to build this for the Recon campaign when it comes up. Been wanting to build one of these for quite awhile.

Had another package show up in the mail for me today. This is something I've been looking forward to for a long time, and just had to wait for everything to be available.

I got the kits and decals to build the 5 race cars from the movie Days of Thunder. Kits were released by Revellogram in the mid 90's to do 3 of the 5 cars. A few years ago, one of the small garage companies that I like to get my Nascar decals from started releasing screen printed sheets for the Days of Thunder cars, and last week, they finally released the last sheet, so I bit the bullet and ordered all 5 sheets of decals, and donor kits to build them all.

Here are the kits. Revellogram 1989-1992 Chevy Lumina kits.

And here are the 5 sheets of decals.

On a side note, for those that have seen this movie, the barn in the movie where Harry Hogge builds his race cars, is actually located about a mile from my apartment, (sure looks a lot different now, haha).

Vroooooooooommmmmmmm......


The last car I built was in 1967... I hate to admit that I am THAT old...

Monograms' Lumina's are always a joy to build. Really good fit, all they need is the suspension dropping a couple of milimetres. I've built three or four, but this is still my favourite:

Dale Jarrets 'Busch' car from 1992...

These will be the first Lumina kits I've built, but I'd built probably close to 2 dozen Monte Carlo's of various years from 95 & newer, so I'd imagine these will be pretty nice kits as well.

A couple from Hannants...





This one off Amazon for the "Suit up and get your geek on" Campaign.



This one came from the LHS, going to give it a try for the Micro Modeler Month Campaign

Can never go wrong with the floaters (y)

Sarah and I did our Christmas shopping early for each other. She bought herself one of those Keurig coffee makers. I bought us a Canon Rebel T5 camera. Will be our first non point and shoot camera. Pretty excited since it came with lots of goodies. Will be here in a week or so :yipee :yipee

I have to ask Warren. How exactly does a B-17 fit into that particular campaign? What on earth do you have up your sleeve?
:idonno :idonno :idonno

He is going to have it fly really REALLY low and have the pilot chop the heads off Nazi Zombies :D :geek

Hey Dave, that's not what I had in mind but I really like that idea!!! :D Maybe for the next Zombie campaign!

I do have an idea that'll fall more in the "fantasy/whiffer" side of the campaign with a bit of "Sci-fi" thrown in. I don't want to say a whole lot more right now as I'm still trying to figure out how I might tackle some of what I have planned but it will involve a lot of chopping, , cutting, some AM stuff and possibly some Vac forming. Might have to venture into unchartered territory and take a stab at making my own vacuform table! :evil:

It will be different and a new challenge for me!

Had these three come in the past few days.

Snagged this one from a guy over on Arc. 10 bucks including shipping

These two came from the same seller on Ebay. The Grace was only 11 bucks and the Ki-100 was 18.

What are those FM kits like to build?

I haven't built one yet Barney, have three in the stash though. This looks like the best of the three. They are supposed to be quite challenging from what I've read online.

Nice kits! I like the Grace and the KI-100. Good prices too!

...as a 'rule-of-thumb' FM kits are extremely challenging. I bought their Fouga Magister some years back and couldn't get it to work at any level. Not to cast too much of a cloud, this kit may be just fine... :hmmm
