Latest Acquesitions - pt.3

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

[BlackSheep214]

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.

[keavdog]

I just ordered that same Bondic set.

[BlackSheep214]

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

[cbaltrin]

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?
