What ? No June or August !

Martin Oostrom
I now have to live with that failure for the rest of my life. 2023 is ruined forever
🤪

Bill Newcomer
Dude! You need to build faster!

OK you made me look at my damage. I bought 33 kits this year. AYE, Yi Yi!

Spanjaard
you can still order some more to compensate for June and Augist LOL!!!

John
Now I had to look at mine, 31 kits this year. One regional show and IPMS/USA in 2024 so I'm thinking dozens more in 2024. Happy New Year and Modeling in '24

I find it better not to pay attention. I just added 5 more and haven't finished a damn thing in forever. Is there a way to see what all got added to the stash in THE STASH?

Ellis Smith
Woah I need to buy more kits to keep up with you lot, mines a very small stash by comparison.

Martin Oostrom
Welcome, my fellow addicts 😄

Bossy, if you add the date bought and the price when adding a kit to your stash, you get two 'benefits'...
1) Your projects show a total cost 🙁
2) In the stash, on the right in blue, you see a date in a blue bar, that's your date bought/sold.

bossy122
Yes, I noticed the dates. Looks like I acquired 29 kits and only finished 4, none of which were started this year. Awful.

Spanjaard
good i have never added those details 😄

Pepe

Bill Newcomer
Martin, the date method is how I determined my count for this year. I am generally pretty good at adding inventory. Cost? I don't want to know. Especially since I have purchased a lot of paint this year.

Martin Oostrom
Bill, Paints are priceless to me! I love the Molotow stuff, but at €29 for 30ml, thats too much. I'll wait for a discount somewhere.
I know that a €50 kit needs about €10-25 in aftermarket stuff and paint.

Bill Newcomer
Have you tried Green Stuff World Chrome?

Martin Oostrom
Nope. I did a quick google search and we have one supplier over here and 17ml costs €7,99 with another €7,50 for shipping.
Alclad is cheaper, but oh so fiddly to get just right. Que the Molotow!

I missed this post
Yes you should do this
I am always interested in stach albums
Always interesting to see what others get
Sometimes I see kits I haven seen before
I also.love to see what people wish for here its a good way to keep up with coming kits
You sure got some nice kits in the last year
I few I would be happy to have in my stach to

Martin Oostrom
Most of them were bought on Dutch eBay. To prevent more purchases I deleted the app from my phone 😁
No more temptation!

Jv
Lol not sure that would help me much
Just got another 8 models today

Bozzer
Mate, I noticed that you have the AMT Allied Van Lines kit? I'd love a scan of those decals, before you get around to using them.

bughunter
Martin, have you ordered also a new cabinet? Many of the new kits will merge into huge models so I guess you will need a lot of space for the finished ones.

Bozzer
Bughunter, I believe that he's ordered a barn, from IKEA! 😉

Now I don't feel so bad about my purchases this year. : )

Spanjaard
i so not feel bad.... about not adding the dates, so I can not even count 😄 😄

Martin Oostrom
Hey! This was all in 2023. I'm a changed man now 🤔

Spanjaard
you do not keep track anymore? 😄

Hardcore!

The air intake on this kit needs to be rebuilt. It's not too difficult. Worse is the flash on the nose cone. Mine was a blob of plastic that needed to be filed down to shape.

Johne 69
Thank you Nicolas, Roland and Skyhiker 👍
@Skyhiker : which air intake do you mean ?

Johne 69
Thank you for your tip Skyhiker 👍 but when i start to correct the mistakes of this kit where does it end ? How did you rebuilt the air intake at your kit ?

Skyhiker
It's been awhile since I finished this kit. I think what I did was separate part of the top half and put a styrene sheet in there. Here is a photo: P-51 D Mustang | Album by Skyhiker (1:72)

Hi Johne, a nice paintjob. 👍

Johne 69
Thank you Roland, J35J and Mr D 👍

Johne 69
Started with the decals at the Tamiya Mustang.
Can somebody recommend me a decalsofter for
the Tamiya armorplatedecals?

Mr D
The Velejo decal soft worked ok on my Tamiya Harrier.....The roundals definitely needed good dose.
Good softener.
Nice paint job 👌👍👍

Johne 69
Thanx Mr D perhaps you mean vallejo 🤔
I have tested 3 different softener but I havent got the vallejo in my stash 😭
By the next possibillity i will buy one.

Mr D
Sorry Johne Vallejo 🤔
Yes it's definitely worth a dry, l was really impressed but it, the Rudder on my current HB lAR-80 ...the decal was bit oversized n a bump in the surface! the Vallejo just shrank to shape n looked painted.

Johne 69
Thanks a lot Mr D👍
I hope to get the Vallejo softener soon.

Mr D
Turnd out good....sets it of nice 👌👍
