Life gets in the way with my Cromwell CS tank build.
But it isn't all bad. A friend of mine who is a great goldsmith, decided to stop with the modelling hobby.
So he tought it was a good idea to give away his stash.
I got five moving boxes with some pretty good kits.
Having too much unfinished projects, I gave it to the members of my model club.
Left are projects he also didn't finish. Here are some pics.

Wow Ron, it's a shame he got out of it. Looks like we lost a major talent.

Here is three models I got this past couple weeks. All of them were free.
First are these two kits I got from a friend at my IPMS club. He'd gotten them from a widow who'd contacted him to donate her husband's models, supplies and tools to our SoCal IPMS club. One was still in plastic: a collector kit of the ancient Hawk 1/72 scale Spirit of St. Louis commemorative kit from the 50th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's flight:
This other one he gave me was a started 1/72 scale Airfix SH-2F Seasprite helicopter. The guy did a good job on this:
This third one I got in interesting circumstances. I had been hired to clear out an apartment where a woman had passed away. Apparently someone in her family loved Volkswagens, perhaps it was she herself. I was finding a whole lot of Volkswagen memorabilia and such all over as we were cleaning up. Then I found this still sealed in the shrink wrap:
Of course I took that home and yes I will build it!
That's all I got for now. Later I'll have pics of some birthday presents that I bought with Christmas money!

Happy Birthday to me! These are three items that came in for my birthday.
This one was a bit unexpected; my sister Kat sent this to me out of the blue:
These two I bought for myself with Christmas money. I'd been wanting these for quite some time:
Military version:
Civilian version:
Yay!

My wife went to see what was left at Pier One stores (which are closing their businesses) but they were gone and replaced by a 99cent shop. Of course, she went in. One of her bags included this "bought for you:"

Can't imagine something so top heavy in a battle field situation.

Nice one Saul! Hey, she loves you man!
Bob, I agree, that bus sure looks ungainly! But it appears they used hundreds of them as troop transports during the war.
