Its a fraction of my 35th Stash - that’s only the wheels only kits, there’s half tracks and of course fully tracked vehicles too ! 😲
Its actually totally outnumbered by my 72nd vehicle stash... 😖
Then there’s the 700th ships and the 72nd aircraft - don’t ask me how many of each I have, I’ve never bothered counting them - numbers that big frighten me ! 🤯😖
1, 2, 3, another, another another.... 🤪

OB 😉

Thanks Joe and Bucky
Bucky, there’s a fair bit of paint slingage happening shortly as well (just digging the various colours out of the paint locker )... 🙄
About to start 3 Russki Sister ships, one each from Aoshima, Trumpeter and Hobby Boss. Not thinking of adding brass to them, apart from anything applicable that might be in the kits and I’ll also replace the moulded radar units with brass, don’t like the solid radars that for me, ruin the appearance of most kits with a delicate mast supporting an amorphous blob that looks nothing like a radar unit. Don’t brass Carriers or Battleships, IMHO even in 700th, they’re big enough and ugly enough to draw the eye without playing about with vile language inducing teeny brass bits ‘n’ bobs on them. 🤓.
Besides which, I’ve never been a real fan of the big iron/heavy metal of the military maritime kind, more of a Cruiser and Destroyer fan, always was. Saving my unbuilt Cruisers and Destroyers (plus a heap of brass for them !) til the middle of summer at least 😖🧐

All 3 started... Aoshima Minsk, Trumpeter Kiev, Hobby Boss Baku
3 of the 4 Minsk Class Heavy Aviation Cruisers - don’t think the 4th (Novrossiyisk), was ever kitted in 1/700th
Photos tomorrow, owing to a slight oversight regards Camera Batteries needing a recharge ! 😖
Regards
OB 😉

@ Bucky...  @ Jed... No problems matey !
Here’s the 3 Russki sisters in question The paint is not mine, I picked the Minsk kit up second hand for $2:00, however, it will do for an undercoat for the deck lines. 🤫
Just in case anybody thinks I’ve posed the one piece decks on the kit boxes... 🤔
