How old are we?
At last, I'm in with the popular crowd, one of the cool kids! Ha! Born on the day British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and U.S. President John F. Kennedy met in Nassau, Bahamas, agreeing to replace British Skybolt missiles with American Polaris missiles -

Box sizes
Yep, never thought of that. The logistics of larger boxes must be an expense too, if shipping is by volume rather than weight- Miko

Box sizes
It's a marketing strategy I suppose, the subject of these two kits is Pz 38 (t), so ultimately the same chassis and running gear, the Dragon 'Hetzer' being the less complicated kit with smaller parts count and the HobbyBoss kit being the original vehicle with a conventional turret with many more...- Miko

amazing engineering
Not sure if this belongs here, but the kit deserves a mention, I've been in a modelling drought recently without mojo. I've started a number of quick fix kits but finishing them is . . . . (difficult to explain!) So, I tried one of these 'Mecha' kits, snap fit click together no paint no glue...- Miko

Workbench, show us yours
Me too, I can't work in clutter, I need to tuck stuff away in little drawers where I know where stuff will be at any time Sometimes, well, every time really I'll stop mid build and have a bit of a tidy -
Workbench, show us yours
I'm a bit fussy that way, I really don't enjoy clutter, it's why i have so many little drawers to keep everything tidy, sometimes I have to clutter stuff to photograph it to make it look more lifelike! It's also one reason I don't 'weather' my builds! -
How old are we?

Workbench, show us yours
The Lightning and F-4 Red Arrows 'what if' are pretty cool but the Labrador is amazing! What scale is it? Ha! -
How old are we?
At sixty three I'm right in the middle of our demographic, I could be biased but we grew up in a golden age of modelling where Airfix Revell etc etc produced dozens of new kits every year at a time when the art of injection molding was maturing nicely, magazines became a thing that expanded our... -
Workbench, show us yours
This is where I do my thing . . . when I do! Hopefully more so moving forward Note my tiny assistant Bandai Namco '30MinuteSister' Tiasha. That little katana is useful when she cuts parts from sprues with the precision of a ninja! Although I think she's hid my Typhoon instructions, I'm... -

All-Star University team training M4
This is the training lead tank of the of All-Star University commanded by Alice Shimada. there are, unsurprisingly no kit dedicated to this tanks as they only appear very briefly in 'Der Film', so exactly the kind of project I enjoy most . It's from the original 1/35 Tamiya M4, it's just plain...- Miko

I think I've become a collector
Hey Chris, there was a real Spitfire as a Gate Guard at RAF Coltishall a Spitfire Mk LF XVIe from 1963. I don't know of a real spit mounted on a roundabout but there was a fiberglass model in place behind the main gatehouse from 1989 until October 2006, when it was removed to be used as a gate... -
I think I've become a collector
As with many of us, this reads very much like a child of the 60's and 70's! Halcyon days indeed! -
I think I've become a collector
Sure seems to be a curse of the modern scale modeller!??! -
