Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

[Duke Maddog]

Holy Rarities! You got an Aurora Piper Aztec! Those are extremely rare and hard to get! I had one that I had gotten from a guy who'd started it and knew he wasn't going to finish it. I finished it, took it to the 2007 Nationals and at the end of the show someone stole it right out of my box! Later, Rare Plane Detective got me a new one at his cost: $179.00 to replace it, along with another one that was stolen along with the Aztec. I built that and it is staying in my house!

Brilliant scores John!

Mark, I got that Aztec from Rare Plane Detective also. I got a pretty good deal on the Aztec. A while back I bought a built Aurora Cherokee 180 on Ebay. I took it apart already with no serious damage. The previous builder put the wings on backwards!

Some more. I didnt realize the T-34 came in a wooden box but cool. The Work Truck is awesome with everything you need. The tractor is a nice simple build, no engine so should be quick. Got the rest of my street scene stuff and a leaf punch. Also another 2 books. The first volume of a trilogy and the second volume of another trilogy.

And the last of the stuff I've ordered. Should be nothing new till next year maybe lol. Got enought to keep me going here.

A SilverCrest vacuum-sealer. I believe SilverCrest is the house brand for Lidl Markets. The sealer, plus two extra rolls, and the package of ten bags was less that $50USD. The sealer comes with a roll of material, extra seal gasket, and adapters to use with other brand products and vacuum boxes.

I plan to use it for my decal storage as well as cooking!

My submarine madness continues....

 

[Duke Maddog]

Nice subs! I particularly like the 1/72 scale one.

While I was at our latest mini-Hobby Day, the guy who owns the tire store next door to our Hall came by. He gave me this kit, free of charge:

The price was right! Even though I already built one; I'm still going to do this one too.

I remember that thing, think you could twist off the nose and change the messages.

 

[Duke Maddog]

Yes. It also runs on four D-cell batteries. It is quite loud when it turns though.

I thought it was scale sound of the engines...

Got some more stuff in the mail

Resin 1/35 house, and a van pu with some PE tools to go with a project that's fumbling along

I thought I ordered a different set, but I can use them

Yeah I've got an antique tow truck project coming

 

[jeaton01]

This just came from the 48'ers in Cyprus, the parts to make lowered slats and flaps on the 1/48 B-1B. Very high quality resin parts!

 

[moon puppy]

I did that kit once...never again. Would love to see those flaps though.

 

[jeaton01]

Bob,I've got four of the kits in the stash so I should be able to find some combination of parts that match up!

 

[moon puppy]

I remember the engine nacelles being a bear but i'm sure you'd whip it in shape in short order. The kit afterburner cans are awful but not as bad as Eduards attempt at them. I remember someone having resin cans but I never could get ahold of them.

 

[jeaton01]

Cutting Edge did the cans and I got them when they were still in production. I have some Barracuda designs sets as well, including the intakes.

Here are some layouts I have tested for the display case:

Wow John that looks like it is going to be a large case, please take some good photos of the case build. I am interested in seeing what it will actually look like.
