New Trumpeter kit out. Something I've never seen before, the 9P157-2.

From a quick perusal through the instructions it looks like it will take a bit of work to build this. The vehicle is based on the BMP-3 so the kit has some of the BMP-3 interior which is wrong. If you have it traveling it looks like a straight forward build. If you have it in "combat" mode it doesn't quite make the cut. The show the top door closed with the pintle sticking through it. Unfortunately that's not right. The door stays open and there is a magazine with an extra 15 I think missiles. So to have it in firing mode the full door can be used and you will need to get some really good pics of the magazine and make something that looks like it.

The side loader looks pretty good I think.

Got a 3d printed fan and shroud for my takom T-54/55 kits. Unfortunately too far along with current build to use but next one for sure. And feeding my WWII habit.

Finally the stuff I ordered for the DAK lesson has arrived as well as some other things. Took so long just from the States.

The DAK Profile Guide is an excellent source of ideas, I bought the ebook version last year. :good:

I am finally getting around to posting some of the stuff from Wonderfest here. I took a decent painting class where I tried some new paint (that worked quite nicely) Picked up some more resin figures, had a good time, and met a number of new folks.

Here are some of the items I picked up.

I have 2 more figures ordered that should arrive shortly, and picked up one that will be a bit of a chore to build.

Joe, of TMD, was selling off his aircraft collection on FB and I made off like a bandit. Now he put more on eBay and I am eyeing one of the ones I didn't see before!

My loot-

Two early Fw 190A-2 (both have guns altough I hoped for one with and another without):

Nice hauls!

I've been trying to hold back on buying more kits...as I need to get some built first! :rotf

But I did pick up a few (on sale of course ;) ) from a hobby shop in Lynnwood that is closing due to loss of lease (owners are terminating lease to bring in another shop that is willing to pay more for the site). Going to miss that place. I usually made a little side trip to pick up a little something or another whenever I was heading down towards Seattle to try to help support them. They are keeping their accounts open though, so hopefully they will be able to find another location over the coming months and be able to get re-established.
