Wow, they still haven't come out with an MLRS in 1/72 scale and they are already replacing the real ones! Man, you 1/35th scale guys get all the cool toys! LOL! :woohoo:

This was my fourth Eagle Quest along with Grace. My wifes first for building a model and also entering.
They tried to make Grace the Grand Marshall this year. But she did not want to do it. Grace did win the vote by a land slide. :coolio

I guess news does travel fast!
On the way home she was thinking she should have done it. Maybe next year or the year after.

Great scores Sherman! Way to go! And congrats to Grace for the nomination for Grand Marshal. I do hope she does it next year. Nice score EJ. I have one of those somewhere....

Don't post my latest acquistions as a rule but this is a bit special. Say hello to the worlds fastest tangerine...
...and this isn't the only one in these parts. There is a 1:1 scale version here in town, but to be honest I've seen it only on sunny days which is sort of understandable I suppose.
Man, I tell you, this thing is so bright and as orange as a local news anchor, (and probably made from the same grade of plastic). Going to be lots of 'fun' trying to avoid colour bleed-through on this one !
Not going to build it straight away, got another 'exotic' planned for after the Beetle. :coolio

Brilliant score Ian, and it's nice to see you posting on the Thread. This car will be a most interesting build to follow. I'll be watching for this.

Well, here I am more than a week later, but I'm finally posting what I got last weekend at IPMS and AMPS.
I'll start with the contents of the "Mystery Box" that is a feature in all our IPMS Distressed Kit Auctions.
There were a number of things in there....
First, some Japanese language books on the F-14 A Tomcat:
Followed by a 1/72 scale F-14A Plus from Hasegawa in bags since the box had disintegrated:
That model is intact, despite the missing box.
Next was an ancient 1/72 scale Frog kit of the Do-335:
Next was a box of ancient Pactra paints.... and yes, they are all still in usable condition!
Then there was a simple Revell snap together truck that we have used in our Make-n-Take program. I'm glad I got one of these, they are so cool:
Next was a new release of the 1/72 scale Airfix B-25 C/D Mitchell:
I'll be building that.
Along with that, I got a 1/48 scale Airfix P-51D Mustang:
I'm entertaining bids for this, just please remember I'm unemployed and flat broke so try not to undercut me too much.
Another one on the sale block: this Dragon 1/35th scale Marder III late version:
I'm asking $65.00 or best offer...
I also got this Hasegawa 1/48 scale Tempest with the teardrop canopy:
I'll let that one go for $20.00...
Another 1/35th scale kit: the Kinetic M-ATV:
I'd like at least $45.00 at the minimum for that one.
Next up is a 1/24 scale Tamiya F-1 racing car:
I'll take $20.00 for that one.
One other acquisition I got along with the Mystery Box at the Distressed Kit Auction is this compressor with regulator and moisture trap:
It works great! You can see the results in my Manufacturing Thread when I get them posted.
Finally at the AMPS meeting, I was given a special gift as a belated Christmas gift from our AMPS club leader since I can never come to the December AMPS Meeting and gift exchange. This 1/76 scale Airfix SAM-2 transport truck and launcher was from his own personal stash:
I had also gotten a 1/35th scale Hobby Boss Patriot Missile launching system as well, but that has been sold. I don't have a pic of that.
That's all I have for now. I'm thinking it will be the last until the Phoenix Nationals.....
