Re: My New Pick Ups
Thanks Paul. Yes it is very addictive. I use to be a builder of kits Mainly 1:48 scale bombers and 1:32 and 1 :24 scale kits which i have plenty of unfinished kits that i will never get around to being built. I remember seeing my first 1:18 scale model then i found this site and i was infected with the 1:18 scale disease LMAO . You will have to show us some of your stuff Mate.
Cheers
Greg

Re: My New Pick Ups
So, Studly, are you working off a checklist of the 1/18 releases (and if so what % have you obtained) or do you buy them as you stumble across them? When I was still into 1/32 armor I was trying to make sure I got at least one of every type of vehicle 21C or FOV made, and then start on different paint jobs
Right now with the 1/35 kits I am trying to build one of every production vehicle listed in the Encyclopedia of German Tanks, but I will build any WWII combatants' airplanes.

Re: My New Pick Ups
Thanks for showing us your scores.
Your building quite an impressive collection there Mate. Running out of room yet? I am. I keep reworking the space and getting creative with it......But can you ever have too many toys?? And then there is 1:1 artifacts. More space God help you if you get into 1/6 stuff.

Ah yes, the nostalgia, the fading memories of those wonderful bygone days of $39.84. Sigh.

I'm loving that California Cutie P-38, been looking for that one, can't ever seem to find it at a reasonable price, congrats on the score!
