Really? I kinda thought it looked like you might have seen an item on Ebay had a chuckle, did a search for vintage x-ray equipment on Yahoo images( that's what they are) got bored, then looked at a unrelated image of a T 34 tank. That's what I would have done anyway😀 It kind of looks like a snapshot of a sequence of events. Just a fun way of looking at it. By the way.....does Canada have a lottery? Anyway, thanks for the images, I always enjoy seeing the things you come up with.

Thanks Rob . I do like seeing your purchases. Always great stuff! I'll be watching when finish that Cobra Daytona....a spectacular build that will no doubt end in a beautiful model. I'm eager to build an automotive subject. In my case a Tamiya 1/24 late Thirties Toyoda sedan that I have and I was looking for suggestions on how to do the finish. Any tips for doing that Anyone?

That first image... Was that an Ebay listing? Looks very familiar. Coincidence?

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Sorry for the smart-ass response. Did this ever get resolved?

Nice additions Rob. I was on the Spotmodel site recently looking for some 1/12 buckles... nice site. I hope you do a build of that kit on here....or that Tamiya Alfa. I would like to see how an automotive finish is done with details like; Which airbrush Nozzle size, air pressure, paint to thinner ratio, surface prep, and etc.

I wish I had thought of that.

Will this topic proceed or having served it purpose, has the hilarity come to an end?

So would I...

I see no problem with Border making aircraft kits in 1/35... I build mostly 1/35, so these kits would fit my collection. Perhaps Border's Intention is to fill a niche for builders of this scale. It's like producing armor in 1/48 when the standard for armor is 1/35. Think of the Tamiya aircraft/vehicle combo kits in 1/48. Anyway, the border kits. do look nice. Build in the scale you want.... By the way, a Lysander in 1/24 would be spectacular!

Looking great! Your weathering skills are excellent. The truck really looks Like it has had a lifetime of hard use....Very impressive!

Turned out great!

I didn't know Friulmodel made Schneider tracks.....I'll have to look into that! Actually, it looks like Friulmodel must have discontinued them.

I have the early and late versions by Takom. Only the paint schemes have Kept me from building them. I have some masks from J's work, but still I dread using using them. I'm interested in seeing how you tackle the painting.

Good to hear from you again Peter. I'm hoping all goes well for you and Diane.

Certainly an ambitious project!

Beautifully done. Superb!

Cool! Lot's of possibilities there. How about a derelict drone, half buried, suggesting the figures had a final battle in which both were destroyed? BTW My other Ma.K kit came today, It's over in What did you get thread. It's the P.K.A Ausf HO from Wave.

Thanks, I wish there were more shops like the one you mentioned. I used to go to Venture Hobbies in Wheeling Illinois, now sadly gone, where I could browse for hours. I loved that place! Yes, the Egg Girls are definitely much tamer than some of the figures I've seen on Hobby link Japan, many of which are, in my opinion,are pornographic! The Egg Girls are cute and harmless. My first one was a gift from a family member and I kind of got hooked. Even my Mother wants to see one built...I'll get to doing that soon.

My plaza order arrived today with a few items..... First another Maschinen Krieger themed kit. This time by Wave Coporation, their P.K.A. Ausf. HO in1/20 scale. (MK-064-4200) This is my first kit from this maker and I must say I'm impressed by it's quality. From the packaging, molding, and instructions this kit is first rate! I also got a couple more of Hasegawa's "Egg Girl" resin kits....but, I won't say much about these .. As , I suspect, I'm probably the only one on this forum that has any interest in these. I have yet to build one...but will...eventually. I also got today my order from Squadron; from Gecko Models an accessory engine kit in 1/16 for their big Universal Carrier kit released earlier this year. It's basically a ford Flathead V8 engine that can be installed in the kit or displayed separately on its own stand. Looks pretty detailed BTW....I plan to purchase only one more kit this Year and then call it quits. I plan for now restrict my purchases to supplies, tools, accessories, and etc, that is, unless some spectacular model kit is released next year. I have enough for now....We'll see how that works out. I'm still waiting for that 1/18 Brewster Buffalo..

Nicely done!

I remember those. My last name being Veiga and pronounced the same I had to put up with a lot of jokes. I was called "Chevy" by a couple of members of my high school football team. I was, however, never checked for Rusty rocker panels.

Very nice builds! I have to admit, I always liked the looks of the lightning and yours turned out great as did the F4.

I have the same scissors, bought recently after breaking my curved scissors that I had, literally for decades. They work very well....much better than my old pair . So, not a bad pick.
