Wow, I've been gone awhile and it looks like Christmas came in a big way for so many people. Awhile ago, I also got Christmas early. Brookhurst Hobbies stayed open an extra hour exclusively for SoCal AMPS club members. I wasn't going to go since I am broke, but one member offered to finance anything I wanted if I came. Well, I went and these are what he bought for me: Not sure if I already have one built, so I got it just in case: This is the fifth one of the six I need for a full battery: I got this because it was interesting. I also will be able to add a small Italian vehicle to my railroad collection: Since I don't have a Type 23 frigate in my Royal Navy: This one is a commission for a guy I built a PzII for awhile ago. He'd been wanting one of these to go with it: Finally, the only big purchase I chose. I didn't want to take advantage of his generosity so I left about four other large kits on the shelf and took only this because I've wanted one for awhile: That's all for now, I might get more with some Christmas money but we'll see.

Well, not new stuff. Got these at a charity sale for 5 bucks each. They appear to be complete so I thought I would try to rescue them.
This one looks to be a Tamiya Krupp Protze in 1/35. Seems to be all there with a driver. This looks to be a 68 Z/28 Camaro in 1/25. Don't know the maker, probably AMT or Monogram. Obviously a 57 Chebby. Looks like 1/24 scale and likely a Monogram. The chrome is crap. Going to try out that AK extreme metal chrome paint on it. Kind of a little jewel here. A Revell 32 coupe. It's got a very dark metal flake purple. I'm going to strip it and repaint. All are very dirty and will need to be disassembled as much as I can and paint stripped then repainted. The 57 looks like it's going to be the most work. No idea why I wanted to try doing all this as I'm not a car guy. If it doesn't work out I can always bin them as I not out a lot on them.

Thank you John. Yeah, those should keep me busy for awhile. Looks like you've got a lot to do as well, nice scores.

Santa came a wee bit early... The Viking ship makes a nice model, once you tamed the shield decals, which really s**ked. The sail art is also a little bit weird. Earlier version had a raven decal which looked much better IMHO. I left it off.

a 1/35 PZ II is pretty much the same size as most 1/72's, right?
