Latest Acquisitions - pt.3

That's more like it!

[Duke Maddog]

I have a large number of acquisitions to show to finish out the year. A raffle winner, two purchases; one was an early Christmas present, and the rest were Distressed Kit Auction winnings thanks to a client who paid for a commission.



Okay, let's get started..



My raffle winner from the November IPMS meeting:





Now my purchases, this one was bought so I can finish my SCUD C truck with the correct launcher arms:





And my early Christmas present:





And now for all my Distressed Kit Auction winnings. We'll start with the models. Remember I got almost all these for one or two bucks each, mostly because nobody else was bidding on them:



These were bundled because they were the same kit and there was some question as to whether one or both were complete:














I got this for the canopy as well as other accessories so I can finish a nine-year-old shelf queen:








I probably already have one built, but this is a cool looking plane:














Finally, at least for the models, there are six 1/72 scale vehicles here: four wargame kits already assembled and two GAZ AAA tracks inside the white box that need to be built:






And now, here is where I spent real money; mostly because I wanted the tools and paints. These are all from a guy who just decided he was done with the hobby and literally pulled everything off his desk and packed it into boxes to donate to our club president. Our president then sorted them into associated groups to sell as package deals. These are the packages I got:



We'll start with something simple:





It might not look like much, but this box is full of treasures: there's even a wire stripper inside for stripping the wires to use on the models.


Next up:





I got those tools for the organizer tray and to use. Still, a ton of useful tools; the non-toxic glue notwithstanding....


More tools and brushes:








One of my favorite packages:








And now for the paints and other supplies. These packages have mostly Vallejo paints, some Mig paints and a number of gloss and dull varnishes along with a number of other items:





And the final paint set is this Vallejo set, which I also got for the stand:






Well, that completes the haul for this month, and most probably the year. I don't see myself getting any more Christmas money to spend on myself, but at least I'm loaded for bear for the new year.



Oh, and for those who are curious; I paid $63.00 total for everything I got in the Distressed Kit Auction listed in this post.

I kept scrolling, and scrolling - thought it would never end. Great haul Mark!

Quite the haul. I have two Scarab kits, both 1/72 Mig 9's.
