My stash from the Model EXPO 2018 long weekend and a cabinet i "found" :)

Martin Oostrom
And when will you build all of this? 😉

Glenn
Mmm who knows? I'm just a crazy collector and part time builder half of the fun is chasing down something you have wanted for ages not thinking of where you will put it. But at least i have it! and now i have a cabinet to put some of it in. Will get the glass shelves soon so i can use the cabinet and may fit some LED lighting inside the frame too 🙂

Martin Oostrom
I know where you're coming from. Bought 7 kits myself last october at a meet. Halfway building the second one…..

Peter Hardy
Got a name for people like you in Queensland Glenn, Dump Rat. Bloody good find though! A mate who doesn't model at all went to the expo and is now very keen on the card models. I have gone through your 1st posted pics and the standard looks pretty damn good.

Patrick Hagelstein
There is some really nice stuff in that picture and that cabinet looks fabulous! It screams to be filled!

Glenn
HA HA thanks Peter! If it's of interest to me you can take a dump anytime at my place (as long as it's a plastic dump!) i can always sell it next time at the next swap n smell. 🙂

Glenn
Thanks Patrick Yes too good to become rubbish even if it costs me a couple hundred for the glass shelves it should be worth it and i will try and start something soon so i can display it in there. cheers!

Glenn, check here to see if they might have the shelves you need. fixturesintl.com/

I just finished the Vulcan, though it was the MPC boxing. I highly suggest the Wolfpack intakes and update set and decals. Did the Meng 102 as well in a different boxing. Looks like it was a good haul!

Glenn
Cheers thanks Donald, I checked that company you mentioned above but as it's in Texas i don't like my chances shipping shelves from there and getting them in one piece to Australia! Pitty prices seem much cheaper than down here! Yes didn't plan on a second Vulcan but it was only $25AUD (about $18USD i think) Decals in this kit are fine it was a recent issue with markings for the last one flying up until only a year or so ago in the UK. But it's still the same old Airfix/MPC kit nothings changed the intakes would be good will cost more than the kit! The Meng F-102 is a much nicer kit than the old Hasegawa one. I was pretty happy with is lot but the Unicraft resin kits will be very trying (the Focke VTOL and the Mitsubishi Taizan bomber) not something any sane modeller would touch but the Avro Lincoln conversion and the CMK 1/144 Shackleton are very nice! The Russian 4K51 Rubezh Coastal ASM Truck has over 1100 parts. Saw a very nice one built at the EXPO (in the photos) other stuff like the C-130 just got that because of all the conversions i want to do. I do like your Vulcan too looks great but it does take up a bit of space!

Spanjaard
you lucky guy... that cabinet looks excellent!

Donald Dickson II
Over 1100 parts???? You have fun with that! LOL

I wasnt thinking about you being in Australia. I would think there would be at least one similar company somewhere on that continent. LOL

And thank you! Yeah, she is a bit large. Hopefully those decals are bettr than the ones that were in the MPC kit. While decent quality, they were way too small. The wing roundels were not much bigger than the proper sized side ones.
