Got this finger nail polish shaker off Amazon.

Works good too.

Shock up some Vallejo, Ammo, and AK paint with it. It's cheaper than ones for hobby paint.

Found it for $25USD on Amazon, free shipping too! Thanks!

Cool book Saul! Nice score. Very helpful too.

Okay, this is gonna be a long one as my second-to-last Christmas order just came in. I have one more coming, and then I'm done for the year unless I get some raffle prizes or something. Also, disregard the prices on the boxes of some of them; I got these for half or more as part of my Christmas order. Otherwise I never would have bought them.

Oh, speaking of raffle prizes, I'll start with those from my IPMS meeting...

First up was this Evergreen and Plastruct set of styrene with instruction booklets/catalogs:

It also included strip and rod pieces as well:

Evergreen_and_Plastruct_II.jpg


I also won a Tamiya boxing of the Italeri F-14 Tomcat in 1/72 scale:

Italeri-Tamiya_F-14_Tomcat.jpg



I then purchased this Renwal kit of Fabulous Flying Machines from a friend and fellow modeler. It's all plastic inside, but includes tissue paper inside for the "fabric" wings:

At the Spruefest contest, I dropped all my raffle tickets into the Miscellaneous draw hoping to pick up tools and/or paints. Instead, I got these two cars from Tamiya. On this first pic, for some reason; it did not finish the picture. The bottom of the box has shots of the sprues inside as well as logo, etc.:

Here is the second car I won:

I'm taking offers for these, but no lower than $25.00 on the Nissan and $50.00 on the Ferrari.

Moving on, here is the other acquisition I got at Spruefest during their show sale that I didn't post earlier:

Modelcollect M1001 tractor pulling the Pershing II. Now I have both of these Pershing II tractors:

And now for my Christmas acquisitions...


First are these four models from ACE:

Italian 508-CM Colonial light car:

Italian Trattore Autocar Sahariana AS.37:

Type 770 Tourenwagen:

Type 770 Cabriolet F:

From IBG, I picked up four more. This included a "Holy Grail" of sorts; one model I hadn't been able to find anywhere before this....

Chevrolet Wrecker:

IBG_Chevrolet_C-60S_with_Holmes_Breakdown.jpg


Diamond T Wrecker (YAY! FINALLY!)

IBG_Diamond_T_969_Wrecker.jpg


Next are two Hungarian Zrinyi II 105mm assault guns:

IBG_Hungarian_40-43_Zrinyi_II.jpg


...and another one with skirts:

IBG_Hungarian_40-43_Zrinyi_II_with_sideskirts.jpg


I actually got that second one because I thought it was a different variant. It's not, it only has added skirts. Oh well, I'm gonna build it anyway.....

Moving on again, I got two Riich Models M-109A6 Paladins. I'm hoping to make to make one of them Israeli if the modifications aren't beyond my abilities:

Another modern vehicle I got was this T-Model uparmored M-1114 Humvee:

T-Model_US_M1114_Uparmored_Humvee.jpg


I also got this modern A&A Models Russian aircraft rescue and firefighting truck:

A_A_Models_AA-60_Aircraft_Rescure_and_Firefighter.jpg


And last but not least, I have this Hobby Boss Armored Train Car Geschutzwagen for my Br-57 armored engine:

Hobby_Boss_Geschutzwagen.jpg


That's all for now. That should keep me busy for a few weeks at least.

Thanks for looking in. Stay tuned, some of these will be introduced to my factory floor fairly soon.

Nice haul guys. I've had the paint shake for a few months now. Go ahead and use the plug and not batteries. Gives you more power.

Very cool stuff Mark.
These arrived while I was away.

The Meng kit is their newest. And I really hope the paint shaker works out for me.

I have one of the originals of the paint shaker. It works well enough though the strap got replaced by a heavy rubber band almost from the first. (didn't like the strap)

Just got in my Trumpeter replacement sprue trees (which I paid for) and the ZSU-57-2 parts are still broken!

Let's see what they say...

I'd say they might have better luck sending an entire kit. :idonno

That's exactly what AMT did when I asked them for a replacement canopy as the one in my kit was deformed and not usable = AMT sent an entire XB-7o Valkyrie kit. ANd this was 1/72 scale so was a LARGE package.

Good luck Sharkmouth

I'll be watching this to see what Trumpeter does for you.

Cheers

I hope they resolve that Saul, that ain't right. They need to re-think their packaging if that is what us happening.


I managed to only buy one thing at the Military Hobbies Airfix contest because they were also having a "pull your discount from the hat" sale. Mine was 20% off:

Earlier that week, I had gotten a package in the mail from Frank here on these Forums. It contained this for starters:

Italeri-Testors_AH-1W_Super_Cobra_I.jpg


But it also had these decals:

Italeri-Testors_AH-1W_Super_Cobra_II.jpg


Yeah, I got this started already. Thank you Frank!

Finally, during Hobby Day my friend Harmon walked over to the thrift store next door to our hall and found this item which he gave to me:

Kora_P-47_G-15CU_Doublebolt_Conversion_Set.jpg


Imagine finding one of those in a thrift store!



Okay. that's everything for now. I gotta go post my latest progress now....
 
Latest Acquisitions

First purchase of the new year.
I have not been buying much lately.
The old kits, come out with new decals.
Can't see spending big money of new decals.
The MACH 2 Lockheed C-140A Jetstar
