Wow John, that is most impressive! I wish I could score like that in 1/32nd . But then I would have to outlive Methusala to build them all  8)

Great score John, at least two hours of building fun (wait I was thinking about me when I was 10), all kidding aside, super collection.

Wow John, that's a Stash of it's own! I hope you have insurance, but then again many of them would be difficult to replace if lost. I sincerely hope you're younger then I................ that's just a few years of Builds you have there! :o
Cheers!

John, are you a cat?
I've heard, that cats have seven lives - I guess you will need some of them to build all of the kits!  ;D

Sorry, could not resist 8)
Looks really like a good list!

Cheers,
Frank

Frank,
 Cats have 9 lives, so the other 2 lives should help see the job DONE!

Not WW1 but I have always wanted this kit, the 1:32 Tamiya Birdcage F4U corsair, it was on special over the weekend ($100) so I couldn't resist;



I also stocked up on some more 0.3mm tungsten carbide drill bits, I purchased 30 of them and they arrived safe and sound.

got an Iwata g6 mini spray gun on eBay (that's the seller's hand not mine). it's at my friend's house in upstate New York now, he bundles up some of my eBay stuff and ships it to me in Thailand. should have it some time in October.

why such a big beast? to avoid pebbly texture from paint drying before it hits the surface. Paul Budzik, on his site and Youtube channel, goes into great detail on the advantages of a fan pattern gun vs a round pattern small 'detail' airbrush. yeah i'm a Paul Budzik fanboy...

Des , You will enjoy this kit tremendously when you start building her . When I built my once I started , just couldn't put it down until she was finished . Enjoy !

Agreed on the Hog!! Another project that calls to me. Tommy Blackburn and Fighting 17. His autobiography Jolly Rogers is a great read that will inspire.
