Just ordered a Verlinden cockpit set for my 1/32 Hasegawa F-5E kit, along with a A.M.U.R. Reaver "Tune-up" kit for it which includes a new photoetch airbrake.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

So, how many large scale builders do we have ? Enough for an leisurely GB or SB ? I have a small number.TobyC wrote:Not quite as I have another 11 WNW kits in the stashArcwelder wrote:again, AAAAAAAWWWWWWWEEEEESOMMMMMME!
Hope those WNW kits are heading straight to the top of the build pile?
Perhaps I will throw it out in GB Chat.

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
I certainly would be interested but it'd have to be as you say leisurely in fact very leisurely. I wouldn't countenance anything less than say 3 months on the WNW kits tbh.jRatz wrote:So, how many large scale builders do we have ? Enough for an leisurely GB or SB ?

Eight days in and...................
Blooming winter sales and the like, don't you just hate them.....
The enterprise will get some lighting added to it, nothing spectacular as I have never done one before and I have never used a soldering iron either so it should be fun.
The tug boat will be on a diorama sea base so I guess I better start a new workbench for when I get around to those.

Mark

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
So my mojo has done its usual 18 monthly about turn and left me feeling ambivalent at best towards all the kits and subjects in my stash. In order to get it kickstarted again I've indulged in a different genre which usually does the trick:

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
Best way around modellers block, I've found, is a large and varied stash so you have an alternative to hand when you need it. That said Tom, I'm sure you'll enjoy a bit of naval modelling. ...especially as, I notice, there's a definite Cold War leaning in your kit selectionTomW wrote:So my mojo has done its usual 18 monthly about turn and left me feeling ambivalent at best towards all the kits and subjects in my stash.

Been considering tall ships myself as they are something I've never attempted before.

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
I bought the Revell TIE X1/Darth Vader's TIE Fighter yesterday, only £5-99 so not massive kit but nice enough. Also bought:-
2 x FROG Lighting F.6 (to try a Naval lightning tandem seats).
2 x FROG Hunter FGA.9 (To use the wings for my Hawker P series (1052/1072 etc)).
1 x NOVO Swordfish
3 x Dragon Iron Man Armour (Mk's 16, 35 and 40 I think)
1 x Revell NH90 (half price from Hannants).
Technically the first five are from December so like Toby I am putting them down in last years list!!.
Acutally bought ONE less kit last year than the year before!!!!!.

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
I am not sure how tall you mean, but I consider the Revell line of clippers, or any of them really, to be excellent and the result can make an excellent living room display, SWMBO permitting. They are big enough to work with, especially while rigging, and they do have line-by-line rigging instructions and piece-by-piece painting instructions. The only negative are the pre-formed ratlines, but maybe only to the purist. I built many of them while still under 15 and the rest by 25-ish and frankly if I were told they were the only models I could ever build again, I would happily do so.JamesPerrin wrote:Been considering tall ships myself as they are something I've never attempted before.
