Bet you weren't trying to tell her how to drive. Of course not! But back to the purpose of the thread, latest acquisitions:  About five feet of garden variety rainbow ribbon cable, as further described in my M911 thread in the Softskins folder. Carefully excised and cleaned up, this is enough wire to provide service electrical & air lines for any kind of truck model for the rest of my life. The resulting parts are probably a bit over-scale for 1/35, but would be perfect for you 1/24 & 1/25 scale builders. Cost at an electronics surplus shop was $3 |

Hot tip for you guys that like Ammo of MIG products on this side of the pond!!! I had just ordered some AMMO by MIG Sprays - TITANS HOBBY: TRANSPARENT MATT VARNISH / BASE & also GLOSS VARNISH which says right on the cans ONLY FOR EUROPE on them and you can't get them shipped directly from Spain to the US... I found a new site in Florida that carries them for $16.75 each and ships them on this side of the pond... I need them between my paint job and weathering products of his I use so they don't strip off the paint layers and allows for fine tuning of the weathering products or even removal without having to strip to bare plastic and start all over again... spraygunner.com/Got them today in a little over a week from ordering... fast and friendly service...  |

LOL Bucky, every build here is a mini tutorial!!!
I have learned more on this forum then anywhere else on modeling!!! You put your one hand in
You put your one hand out
You put your one hand in
And you shake it all about...
You do the hokey pokey
And you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about...

Not my grab but I mentioned this in another post. My son ordered a figure of Hellboy from Russia, I thought it was going to be about 120mm full figure but it's a bust which is much bigger,it easily fills my hand.  |

Okay, here is my latest scores, starting with this Master Box British Mk I tank from WWI modified for the Gaza strip. I got this in a trade:  Looks like I cut off the very top of that box... These are the last Birthday presents I ordered with Christmas and birthday money. First is a vehicle I never thought I'd ever see in my scale! This is a French APC, the ACE AMX VCI derived from the AMX-13 chassis:  I gotta get me a second one of these; I need one for my Italian Army. Speaking of my Italian Army, This next vehicle is for them. The ACE Centauro B1T a later variant than the one I built earlier:  This next one is my ACE British Centurion Mk.5. I show it like this because they sent it with the wrong box:  These next three are for my Israeli Army. First is this ACE IDF Centurion Shot Kal Alef:  Next is this ACE IDF Centurion Shot Meteor:  This third one is the ACE IDF Nagmashot APC:  Finally, this last one is one I've been wanting for awhile. This is the Armory M-41 Walker Bulldog:  This one is one that a friend of mine gave me for my birthday. This is the Modelcollect CLUB-M Coastal Defense Missile System. Now I have enough large trucks to do another Big Truck Build:  Okay, now I have enough to keep me busy for oh.... the next month and a half! LOL! |
