Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

only thing I would change is drop the top by about a quarter of an inch so we can read the label of the paint.

What about just attaching the top plate to the bottom? The drilled out areas of the top plate look deep enough to keep the bottles from toppling.

I would really like to see stacking and wall mounting capabilities on these paint holders. The ability to buy a set or two for Vallejo (and other dropper types), another to stack on top for Tamiya, another for Lifecolor, another for my Humbrol/White Ensign tins, another for my AK bottles, another for my Mig Productions bottles, an extra tall one for my glues/decal solvents/etc... you get the picture. Mounted on the wall and out of the way. I can then glue on some magnetic strips on the front of the lowest one to mount my tweezers.

Yes, dreaming out loud.

Chukw, you beat me by one! (one Cyberhobby D-3, one Eduard D, two Eduard E, one Promodeller G) I would love, Love, Love to see you and Laura build the 110, with shark teeth, wasp or wolf's head. Why not Death's hand?

Great pick up! I have been eyeing that Valentine kit, but for what they charge for it you'd think there was gold PE in it! Looking forward to seeing it built!

Sure, but it has to be in the same condition as you would sell it. This way I can post a review or suggestions from a consumer's point of view.

Those are the kind of deals that make you smile with pride!

Well, one of my favorite stockists, Historica Hobbies closed his doors last month. I was the last (or close to it) customer as I bought ALL remaining Masterclub stock. So far, only one box has arrived. I will wait for the second to post the contents together.

I also got in my LuckyModel order. I know, I know...

They will come later.
