Hi Kari,

They're from the new Dune films.

Should have known that...

Bambu Labs A1 Mini filament printer...
Unfortunately, filament did not arrive yet!
Plan on using it for prototyping resin parts and creating assembly jigs and other non detail items, although I may be able to use it for some actual detail parts depending on the situation..

I've heard good things about these. Also Prusa printers

Just picked up these on eBay

Nice scores! I almost bought the Dutch “Diana” set a few years ago. The Belgian Tiger Meet, ‘94 is a cool scheme too. I’ve never seen the Tuskegee Commemorative tail version before. That looks really nice - definitely something I would have done. Makos and Green Mountain Boys of Vermont are classics. Fantastic Viper decal sets all around. Well done, Johnny!

I ordered some Ammo of MiG Shaders. This is the "Cool Colors" set. Basically different shades of grey. If these work out well I'll have to get more.

Interesting. I'm curious how they are.

Well I've been nickel and diming acquisitions since my last update here, and now I've picked up enough worth of an update post...

for my 1/35 armor stash I have picked up the following items:


some ESCI decals for US & Brit AFVs, some Panda Plastics T49 & WE-210 tracks for Shermans, a Verlinden US OIF era AFV crew figure set

for my 1/48 aircraft & 1/35 helos I have picked up:


a Falcon Clear Vax IJAAf canopy set, a monte mask set for a Ki-45, and lastly some detail goodies for the HH-60 that I picked up last month... thats all for now...

I picked up one of those reskit rotor head kits for my 1/72 ch-53e and its a beauty of an addition.

I've never seen those canopy sets - pretty cool.

How old are those ESCI decals Carlos? What is your experience with ESCI decals? I have one of their aircraft sheets that I might use in the future..

In all honesty, I have no idea how old these ESCI decals are. However, my few experiences with ESCI decals, mostly from older kits, have been good. And these are sealed in the plastic wrap, so I'm hopeful in that respect. All I can suggest is to have Micro Scale liquid decal film handy, and test out decals on the sheet that you do not plan to use first to see if the sheet is still viable.
