Just dumb luck. :laugh: I'd guess the exchange rate may have had something to do with it.

Resharpened drill bits from Drill Bit
http://drillcity.stores.yahoo.net/

5 pack of wire size #82, 80 - 75 to replace the small ones i've broke already.

And Mr. Surfacer from Spruebrothers.

I got one thing to say about that, why after 4 years on the internet modeling community, have I just heard about Mr. Desolved Putty? I worked on some spots on the Bone with it and can see how much time i'll save filling in sink holes and ungodly seams. Can't wait to get working with that stuff!

Quoting from 8 years ago...I think I need to restock from Drill Bit City and Micro Surface.

Got this today, Mike tempted me and of course I took the bait.

I like the Box Art on that MasterBox British troops set. Notice the red BRITISH call box in the background? LOL VBEG

Actually the figures are pretty good.

First I have to finish what I'm currently working on.

-The SU122-54 just has really great lines and it's my first Miniart kit. Based on the reviews this kit doesn't need any AM so OOtB for that one.

-Reheintochter FlakPanzer is also my first Trumpeter kit. I saw one at the Nats in August but when I went back to pick it up it was gone. This will be put in the flight path of Terry's B35 Flying wing....Sorry dude just can't let ya overfly the fatherland unopposed!! :bat

-The AH-1Z will be my first Aircraft kit...EVER! Since this is signifie in terms of subject for myself I'll build it for the 10th Anniversary of the website.

the rest of the goodies are for builds that are in the planning stages.

:v

Partly inspired by Terrys' build and partly because it's my 'daily drive' in WoT:
