Soo.... What did you just purge???

[ScottsGT]

Two more gone!  Made a package deal for the old Revell Stuka and Revell B-26 and sold them together.

It always feels good when you can get some cash back, to spend it almost immediately on more kits

Well, what else are you going to spend it on? 

[ScottsGT]

LOL!  I’m actually saving to buy the new Lukgraph Duck that’s coming this summer.

Ok , I pulled the purging trigger once again and drop these babies off at the local hobby store. Both are new , but ginormous and the free space is the priority right now.

Wow, I have both of those kits in my stash too.

You're right in that they take up a fair bit of space. And yet somehow I can't find the M8 Greyhound that should be in there too.

I would say, 3+ cubic feet of free space easily, well worth it.

Pesky relatives taking up oxygen ....and other resources 

 

 

oh you mean plastic ??

 

 

 

And sold a built 190 in 1/48 to a guy in Austria . 

TBH too tied up with 1:1 cars, motorbikes , landscaping , health issues and crumbling relatives to do much modelling , however my 2025 re focus has moved towards :-

1/48 aircraft ( not jets ) and 1/35 armour , and giving up on any offerings from Airfix , Revell , Trumpeter, Zvezda and stuff tooled before 2000 . Life's too short for me to waste time on what I call "nostalgia builds" - crappy old toolings that rarely produce anything decent . Bit like plastic figures , they're generally not as good as nice resin, so less is more . Vignettes not dioramas etc .Just my perspective .

Paints more towards ATOM as they have interesting chipping properties by reckon a bunch of Tamiya XF's will still be knocking around . Had a play with Mission , but apart from being expensive and not readily available in the UK, reckon Atoms did the same . 

Also cleared out stuff bought on a whim, and replaced it with more 'interesting to me' stuff .

Those are both very nice kits! I have the STug and the big half track without the gun.....I could use some some purging myself but really

don't know how...I don't have a LHS and I don't have an EBAY account. Perhaps if someone here needs something?😀 I have

Recently become more aware about how quickly things can get out of hand in regards to having a stash. I won't be getting anything

more as far as models.  Supplies and tools needed only.. for awhile. I have seen a few Websites state "We buy Collections". has anyone

tried this....?

Good grief. I sold a couple more kits on eBay over the weekend.  For some reason the eBay shipping calculator was telling me Priority shipping was more than I sold the kits for and what I charged for shipping combined. 
When I calculated shipping using their system it told me about $17.  Today they wanted to charge me $36.  I only got $34 with shipping and that’s before fees come out. 
I recalculated with FedEx home delivery for $19.
