Continuing to build up my stash of Russian stuff.
Also got a couple of German themed
kits.
That German halftrack kit looks like a real jewel. Motor, 8 rifles and racks, 2 SMGs, lots of radios and the protective cages for tem too. Plus the tracks are individual links with separate pads.

Just this past weekend I went to a large tabletop wargame convention called Kingdom Con in San Diego. It was great that I'd gotten paid just before it. While there wasn't too much for a model builder there, I did manage to score some great new stuff between playing a number of table top war games.
I'll start with a box of models I bought from the guy who started this Con way back when. He was selling them along with a ton of other games and gaming pieces in the Friday Night Flea Market that was only on Friday night. I asked how much and he said make an offer so I offered $65.00 for the box.
This is what I got:
Aurora Munitions Carrier and 8" Gun in 1/35th scale:
It was already "severely" started (as we say in my IPMS club) but it had a great little pamphlet of all the Aurora 1/35th scale tanks in it:
Hobby Boss 1/48 scale Russian T-24 tank:
This was 'very' started too but I'll probably finish it and give it to a friend who plays Bolt Action games. This scale is perfect for them.
Another 1/48 scale Hobby Boss tank, this time a Sherman:
This was also very started and it also had a little extra something inside:
I'm still trying to determine what that large decal sheet goes to. All it says is Williams Bros. on it; no scale or subject. This Sherman will also go to my Bolt Action friend.
Moving on, I also got a good number of aircraft, all in my scale...
A Monogram Snap Tite A-10 Warthog that will be going to my clubs Make-n-Take at the Fullerton Airport in two weeks:
An Ancient MPC Profile Series kit of the OS-2 Kingfisher:
Another ancient kit, this time the Matchbox P-70 Nightfighter:
I built one of these as a wee lad of 8. I'll see if I can do better now....
A few Hasegawa kits, starting with this P-51 Nose Art plane:
Another one, this one being a Hawker Harrier:
And another Hasegawa kit: an F-14A Tomcat:
The box was damaged, but everything inside was intact and still in the poly bags.
Finally there is this Sci-Fi kit of The War of the Worlds. It's the special edition kit with the plated Martian ships:
The box was damaged but again, everything is still inside.
In addition to these kits, I also bought some reference books from him:
Later on, while wandering through the vendor room, I picked up a few more things.
Here's a cutting mat I got for $12.00:
Later I found another booth selling some pre-cut wooden gaming boxes. They were also selling these for $25.00, so I picked one up:
I should have picked up two. They contain 'clips' that allow you to fasten two together side-by-side. This really helped clear some space on my workbench:
They also sell racks with smaller holes for Vallejo type paints too.
I got a paintbrush too, but didn't shoot a pic of it.
Well, that's about all I have for now. It'll probably be my last for awhile unless I get more work. Until then, I certainly do have a lot to work on.
Thanks for looking in.

Looks like you got some deals there Mark! That old Aurora kit looked like it was 1/48 by the itty bitty text on the box.
The Williams decals were for their Lockeed Electra kit. Interesting old stuff.
If anyone is interested, the Bolt Action game that Mark was mentioning is supposed to be all 28mm (1/56 scale IIRC) If you are really interested in dioramas that have a lot of stuff but are not huge there are a ton of figures vehicles and buildings for the Bolt Action games and the kits and figures are fairly reasonably priced.

Got myself some Russian softskins, an artillery piece and some furniture plus a T-90 tank.
Softskins.
Medical team for the ambulance.
Then some figures and accessories sets to use pices of for my Russian log house.
ICM Soviet Military Servicewomen set.
A drop dead gorgeous set of figures and accessories including the 5 parts phonograph, the 7 parts samovar and the 7 pieces of unmentionables and the clothesline posts and the line support.
Accessories sets to take items from to use in the Russian log house.
Will use a telephone and oil lamp plus the Russian map.
[attachment:6]OFFICE FURNITURE & ACCESSORIES 1-35 MINIART 35564.jpg[/attachment.
Household Crockery & Glass set
Some furniture for the bedroom and main room.
Village Accessories.
You can NOT build the fence as shown on the box; because you need one more short section of fence forthe gate and two more posts. I'm using the table and benches inside the log house and will use the fence for something else.
Just for fun a Zvezda T-90 tank.
Cheers
