So we had a fund-raising sale for the family of our friend in our AMPS group who killed himself...sold off most of his stash and raised nearly $3500 for the family...here's my buys to support the cause...the Namer is something I ordered from Hong Kong a while back...

 

[Sharkmouth]

Nice job Doc.

The He Shed has arrived.

Next, fill it up with storage junk and get electrical junk.

So sorry to your group for the loss and the issues surrounding it!

I have been reading a TON of Arab-Israeli stuff as of late, so pertty much anything in that genre is of interest to me.

Excellent scores guys! Way to go, and Mike, I'm sorry for your group's loss as well.

Recently we had our Distressed Kit Auction at my IPMS meeting to commemorate our first face-to-face meeting in 17 months. We called it "Christmas in July". With a small amount of money I earned on a small job recently, I supported the club with these purchases...


No, these are not chocolates:

But actually this tin contained the old Airfix HMS Iron Duke already started:

I got this mostly for the tin since I have an Iron Duke finished, but I will still finish the battleship as a sister to the old Duke.

Next I got some more Model Master paints; although this was the smaller container of them:

Next was this desk lamp that was donated:

After I tried to use it; I realized why it was donated: It barley stays up to shine the light where I need it! Anyway, moving on...

Next I got this for free since everyone in the club knew that nobody would bid on it anyway:

Finally I got a plane I've wanted and gotten outbid on in two other auctions; now I have one:

Later, I saw a few things sitting on a side table with a sign that said "Free" so I picked this up:

I guess someone moved on to something else and decided to leave it for someone else to continue using.

I also picked up two brand new Paasche airbrushes and a compressor set together which I did not get a pic of. Those will be donated to our Hobby Day Hall for people to use at Hobby Days.

Finally, I was helping my church with a fund-raising summer sale and boutique and I saw this book that I was gifted for all my help:

I've already looked through it and it is really fantastic.

That's all I have for now. Time to get back to the bench....

Nice Mark!

I got a couple new 48 scale floaters I've been wanting.

A Saab B17B with a float upgrade kit

A Chia Type seaplane. This kit has a 1 piece fuselage

and had to buy this since I own one now,

 

[moon puppy]

That Chia Typ looks like a Jenny.

That Chia Typ looks like a Jenny.

Might be a licensed version but I'm not sure. I can't find much info on the bird!

One step at a time...

I'm with Mike. Eat your "Elephant" one bite at a time!

 

[helios]

Some accessories arrived today.

 

[jknaus]

Some stuff arrived today.

And this just looked so novel and interesting.

[Duke Maddog]

Sweet scores James! Man, you 1/35th scale guys get all the cool toys! LOL!

Looking forward to seeing these started...

 

[sharkman]

What is that Drop Drum used for?

 

[jknaus]

What is that Drop Drum used for?

Its a fuel blivet. They can drop these at forward operating bases and refuel helicopters. Not sure if they also use them for tanks but I've only seen them used fore helicopters and I think Hercs.

Cool stuff Mark. As for the lamp why not give it splints. Get some brass rod or bass wood and some hose clamps. Then splint it into the shape that is most useful?
