SPA Modeler

We nearly lost him. He was hours from passing when we got him in on Sunday. He spent 4 days there and is now home. He is low on energy, but getting more like himself, slowly. They did his PAC count for blood and he was at 27% when we got him in and went to 17% the next day and 16% the day after. If he was not on Special K vitamins, IV fluids and Prednisone he would have crashed. He was nearly gone. Wednesday he was at 20% PAC count, which is the % of red blood cells in the blood by volume if I understand the test that way. You know, those are the ones that do all the work, so you kinda need them. Anyway, he is one K vitamins and Prednisone for a few weeks and will go back in next Friday for another PAC test to make sure they are climbing. As long as he doesn't crash in the meantime. I'm keeping a close eye on him. If he gets where he doesn't want to do stuff he's going back in.
I appreciate the kind words fellas.

I really don't know how these things keep coming home with me.

Got this to compliment big Tiger

Very nice, Tony. She’s gonna be just as big as the Tiger tank. Can’t wait to see it. Post progress pics here.

This is going to be a cool tool. Aready made a pretty decent wing tip light for a fw190 with it.

I just ordered that same Bondic set.

Ok…. I’m lost here. Not familiar with the product.

It's a UV activated clear resin/glue pen. Uv Light at one end, resin applicator/needle at the other end.

That is pretty cool. I might have to try getting one of those.

About three weeks ago, I finished a house painting job that netted me three large so I decided to celebrate by catching up on models I'd been wanting to buy for awhile. First, I ordered these from BNA Model World since they were the only ones to have some of these:

Three Academy Abrams. One will be made US Marine, the other Egyptian and the third Australian since this kit came with all three marking options:



Riich Models Paladin I will make Israeli:



Trumpeter Russian MLRS on the Uragan truck:



Trumpeter Canadian Leopard 2A6M:



Hobby Boss German Artilleriewagen:



And finally, this Trumpeter American LaFrance Fire Pumper:




Later on, I had to go get some medical tests done and Tony's Hobbies and Toys was right next store. More 'celebrating happened after my doctor visit:

First some more glue and supplies since I've been going through all this like water through a sieve:



Next I found these Japanese troops with a howitzer and realized these had been on my list for awhile to get so I bought them:



Another model I had been wanting:



I got this because it had wheels; the other kit I already had in the stash had only skis:



And this last one was just unique enough that I had to get it:



And that's all I have until my blacksmith shop comes in. I may even buy more when I get paid for these next two jobs....

Mark, did you win on the Lotto or rob a bank? That’s a lot of goodies, and some very nice ones I might add.
I’m curious about your plans for an IDF M106A6… does the IDF use that variant?
