Yep I paid through the nose for that one the crazy thing is over the years I've probably built 10 of them and they all got trashed wrecked etc I still have another 1/72 dragon Saturn v and space shuttle another 1/72 Concorde 144th shuttle with boosters 9 model boats from the weekly magazines such things as Bismarck Hood Titanic Victory Cutty Sark U96 Bounty and Endeavour Sovereign of the Seas Lancaster bomber Millennium Falcon 2 crawler transports another LUT a monster 1/72 scale will stand over 6ft when done and have a 1m square base and finally 1/48 X-15 enough for years and will need a barn to display everything oh well I attach a photo of the model boat storage facility ie the spare space on the landing
This is to practice some more rust and some paint bubble effects...will it work, who knows? But for £8 it will be fun.

Always loved the Dodge Monaco and got this one for under £20, most I have seen are well over £20. Going to add lights and flashing light bar...I think.
Nice Colin I was looking for one of the Hovercraft but going for silly money
I had this kit and swapped it for something crap...regretted it ever since and as you say Ian-they go for silly money, even part-mades or just bits go for daft cash!
Just bought this off Evilbay. I've been looking for one for ages after I read the book about the raid on Tokyo........ and got this new for £ 15.00 in postage ....... Trumpeter 1/700 USS HORNET - "Doolittle" ........ only a couple of quid more than the Tamiya, but the Trumpeter is a newer more detailed jobbie.

Si
Go for it Si ......... I'd like to see what you do with the 2CV ........ I bloke I worked with a few years back had one in his garage. He was tearing it apart, to fit Engine, transmission and running gear from a V8 Jag he had in the back garden. His plan was to have no front seats (there wasn't room anyway) and drive it from the back seat. I often wondered whether he finished it.
Up with the birds this morning car booting and managed to grab these early bird specials lol.The Starwars stuff not my usual thing but I managed to work my magic on the vendor and beat and ground him down on his prices (bargain/steal)and brought all of them as a job lot .Although I'm not a massive fan of sci fi modelling I have to say these look very nice on inspection with nice details and display stands so I might just take one small step into the sci fi world of modelling other than that just additions to the stash [ATTACH]113624.IPB[/ATTACH]

Come on then john , were all dying to know how much did you get them for? Its a real good haul , i never see any models at the car boot
£60 all in Tony.I have no idea about prices on star war kits but I thought £60 seemed favourable for 5 large scale star wars kits and 2 1/72 planes.Anyways they brought a smile to my face as I skipped back to my van.
