SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

[TimM63]

Dunno WTF I was thinking. This one might stay in the wrapper, maybe.

I am starting to see how rigging is done, probably older dudes than me that grew up making multi-mast sailing vessels as their kits, from whittlin' wood!

We did a group build of the Sopwith Camel. The rigging definitely took the longest to do.

For every one kit I finish, there are 2 to take it's place it seems like. Working on the 1701-C at the moment, and the 1701-E right behind it. Was on the waiting list for the D and had to order that today since it's now available again.

In between I might finish my Takom Panther-A. In the last year I bought the Tamiya 1/48 P-47D razorback because building the bubbletop was a lot of fun, Also have the Eduard P-51K which is a really cool kit.
I have a lot of other kits down in basement storage. Too many kits and not enough free hours to build them, but I'm trying.

The old Revell F-106, Trumpeter KV-2, Tamiya Tiger I mid-prod, two 1/72 shuttle stacks, Hobbyboss P-51D, 1/350 TMP refit Enterprise, some scratchbuilt stuff I have to finish as well.

I might have to take a break to concentrate on finding a new piece of furniture to put stuff in. I am running out of cabinet space.

This is the 1/48 version not the 1/72, but yeah, dunno WTF I was thinking. This one might stay in the wrapper, maybe.

Actually it's quite enjoyable. I have done a few biplanes and like the different rigging methods. Pantherman

Looking at this work of art is making me think rigging might be hard, but that "camo"...oooof!

I have seen that and the camo is so insane that you have to go for it.

It's on my amazon price drop list so definitely a future build for me. Pantherman

Just take your time with rigging. Go one anchor point at a time.

Do you scent the cuffs of your pants with Testors or a different glue?

 

[Bear43]

Yep, the Testors is great old-school bait!...lol

I'll have to try it this weekend

I heard those Bandai kits are really nice. Can see an X-wing or Y-wing in my future, not a fan of the B-wing and tie fighters are too boring.

As far as the stash is concerned though...mine just quintupled! Brown-shorts-santa came today...

Now you know I'm going to have to buy one of these now. Pantherman

 

[TimM63]

This fell off the shelf when I walked by it yesterday. It looked very lonely so I thought I would give it a home in my stash.

Hadn't got any new models in a while as I was trying to thin out the stash and be more picky about subjects, but had to get this one

This will most likely be the next one on the bench as well.

Wingspan is around 2ft but luckily the rotors or whatever are completely poseable so you can easily move them to folded back for landed position or extend out for in flight. Will have to get the Harkonnen one, but that will need to wait for the next gift giving occasion

I wanted to use Hoppes #9 as cologne, wife did not agree, plus it can burn/irritate your skin sensitive areas, or so I've been told.

Wear that and it won't be model kits following you home.......
I had to stop wearing it myself.
