I don't care what y'all post, I"m doing my Rowan Dr.1!
Uh yeah...
Click to read a mini-review.

Rowan Atkins' Black Adder flew a Dr. 1? Wasn't he a British foot solder in the Great War?

All the sudden three weeks ago I had a major tractor thing. So now most of the stuff as shown up in the last week. I kinda feel bad about the military caterpillar books as I got them both for $.99 on eBay plus $4 something shipping.

Sweet scores Sherman! I'd love to have all those in 1/72 scale! Since I can't, I got these instead....
Here's my latest haul.
One of my friends from SoCal AMPS was selling off some of his collection and so I decided to help him out by picking up these little deals:
First is this Dragon M-4A3E8 Sherman:
I picked it up only because I need only one of these stupid parts to finish my M-51 Isherman:
Next I got these kits from Airfix, First and aircraft, the EE Lightning F.2A:
And then more of these Japanese soldiers from Airfix as well. I need to keep replacing the ones lost in Banzai charges...
Next is a German vehicle, the Sd Kfz 251/9; although I can't remember why I got this one:
Next I got four more vehicles to beef up my already substantial Russian Army...
Two tanks: The Modelcollect T-64 AV and the T-64BV Mod 85:
I'm not sure but I think I built the second one already, although it might be an earlier Mod. We'll see...
Followed by two Trumpeter BTR-70's, one early and another late:
I love it. I'd been waiting for someone to finally release a BTR-70 and I get to have two versions!
After that, someone else turned me on to where I could find the Takom FV-432/Chieftain MkV Dual kit. So, I went on and ordered it and it is now here:
Finally! Now I think that once I finish up my most complete five models, I'll start on all three Chieftains and the FV-432...
While shopping for the above dual kit, these two caught my eye. I picked up this Stuart Mk5 since I have never had one ever in my collection. That is finally going to be rectified:
And last, I saw this Australian M-113 with the T-50 turret and had to have it:
Now if I can get the mojo to finally kick back in; I'll have a lot of fun with all these!
Thanks all for looking in.

Me too! The FB-111A was bought as a nostalgia kit (I was stationed at Plattsburgh). The MS 406 I have no idea what I'm going to do with it ($5). I also put the new P-43 Lancer by Dora on layaway!
Today we had our 64th viewing, still no sale. I grow discouraged.

I think I'm close to getting customer of the month from eBay. I'll share my modeling scores as of today. This kinda happens when I work a lot and do not get to "me time"
First up some F-104s I found when digging in my stash for some models to give to a kid here in town. Story on this is, in March the schools here went to online only and this boy would finish his school work and having ADHD would find himself in mischief. In talking to his mother I found out that he loves building, taking apart and rebuilding things. I asked if he ever built models she says" I never thought of that. My dad would build build a model plane or ship in the winter when I was younger." I told her I've got some stuff I'll give him if you he would build them. Gave them some kits, paints, tools extra. Well turned out his Dad also got involved and they built some of the kits together. I asked the kid last week if could use some more if I found some extra kits. He said "Yeah!" So I've got a couple more to give him. While digging I found these two kits pulled them out and told myself I've got to build these. Hasegawa 1/48 TF-104s
I'll make some separate posts for everything

Got a 1/35 scale house. It a laser cut wood kit. Not sure if the style will work for what I have in mind for two planned projects. But hopefully will jump start something for me
Thinking of doing a diorama using the Miniart bus and the house. Trying to work out the idea of kids coming home from school, running from the bus as they see Dad standing on the porch, Dad has come home to the farm from over seas. (That's what started the tractor thing.) still waiting on the figures.
