Heat and Air is a must. Might even have some plumbing in this one because i'm very close to water source. I'll be closer to the house than my old garage so coffee will still be warm when I get there.

Shapeways order arrived today. The box was well battered. The dinky contents were unharmed. M-41 Walker Bulldogs. Will your Micro-model Nut drill the commander's hatch, add a scale Jeb Stuart and apply scale "The Haunted Tank" decals? What of the M2 .50 caliber machine gun? Will He replace the 3D gun with a brass barrel? See what I have done to my model self?!?
Does it seem as if I have committed self-sex? I expect I did just that!
HMS Diana. Waterline with separate main deck and cannon aplenty! Not a ship model for the uninitiated. Sails may well come from steeped tea bags of coffee filters. (Thanks Mike for the idea, one more time!) How many friggin' PEE figures will populate this tiny gem? How much Rum does The Rhino actually have? OMAFA!!
British Seaplanes will stand in for the 1/700 scale US Navy Consolidated P2Y. A little shaping and they will be just fine! Only you guys will know about my subterfuge. See, I have a "Thing" for seaplanes.
These are too cute for words. The 1941 GMC pickup truck. One of these lil' Darlin's will help populate the cliff for the 1/700 Bermuda diorama.
1/350 40mm guns for the PTF/Universal Hull project arrived along with some 1/700 DE Havilland Beavers on floats and some much needed Douglas F4D-1 Skyray jets. These are all filament 3D Ultra fine detail prints, so sunshine curing and a dip in Future will precede any finishing.
These most likely will not be molded, since they are not my intellectual property.
That's crazy man. Are these custom designed or available for all?

What are those seaplanes?? Stranraers?
I haven't bought anything since before Christmas so I did pick up a few at a club meeting and off Ebay
First, got these two at my clubs year end raffle.
Already have one of these in the stash but thought a second one would make a good yellow wings "what if" project
Then I found this one from Halberd Models on Ebay. It uses the Eduard BF 109 G6 kit and their conversion resin. Bought a second conversion kit for another 109.

IS that a Messerphish?
Sorry, about the best I can do. Nice haul Warren?

I just noticed that Sprue Bros has all the Helldiver stuff in stock (at the moment) As I have one of the original HPH resin kits in my stash, it is what I will eventually build. Only thing I see different between the old resin and the new kit is there is the folded wings detail now available. (which might work with the old resin kit).
Enjoy the new kit Mo! It looks like the did good!

The Shapeways website makes these available to any one. Their search is vague, so you have to sift through 1,500 items to narrow down what you wish for. I have done business with Shapeways long enough to remember a time when customer service meant something to them.
Warren, The seaplanes are in truth Saunders-Roe A.27 London flying boats. Consolidated P2Y's are available, in 1/285 scale in "White Natural Versatile" (soft, pebbly, porous) plastic. Might be fun for gamers, but unsatisfying to a modeler.

I have seen one build on this and the fellow wasnt very happy. From the sounds of it the original resin kit is better and in the long run cheaper. Having said that I still want one although I am trying to show restraint. Actually if I the money I'll probably end up getting the FF33 instead.
Looking forward to your build and thoughts on it.
James
I sat up under that thing in RAF Museum, you really don't get a sense of how large that thing is just looking at it.

Yet the cockpit and tac compartment are so cramped. Loved the sheepskin seat covers in them though.

Got it from Hannant's. Had it on pre-order for a year or more. They've sold out of their first shipment and its back on the 'Backorder" list.
