Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I have been looking for a WNW LVG C.VI for a long time for the wife. She fell in love with it at a show here in CA (Valley Con) A few years back. So John here on LSP came trough on the LVG C. VI in a trade Thanks John. Also wanted a Horten Ho229 V3 version for years. So drove down to Volks USA yesterday and picked up the Horten Ho-229. Unfortunately they were missing the Concept book and Photo etch set Cheers Danny
ericg Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) I had one of these glass showcases but decided splurge and get two more. Got them last week. I got the tape measure out and it looks like the new WnW Felixstowe will fit on one shelf with a couple of centimeters to spare both width and depth. Now Mancave B looks like this: Edited November 27, 2014 by ericg Tewika, tomv87 and Vandy 1 VX 4 3
ericg Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Hi Dan. got them from here: http://www.metrodisplay.com.au/ They are the MSC-242 and are flat packed and take approx 3 hours and a few beers each to assemble. At $900 plus shipping each they aren't cheap, but a mans gotta have somewhere to put his creations hey? Eric.
ericg Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Hi Dan, I paid $188 extra for shipping to Brisbane. You may be able to get the cases cheaper if you mention that I sent you.... Maybe. The guy that lifted the boxes off the truck almost blew a valve. I did some fairly extensive research before I got the first one and I reckon they were the best trade off value for money/looks/size wise. There is ample room for 1/32 models as can be seen.

LSP_Mike Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Everybody is picking up some real nice stuff around here. Good to see.
LSP_Ron Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 My 1:350 USS Hornet arrived today. I was disappoint to find in only included two B-25's, two Dauntless, and two Wild cats. Not much to display on a three foot long deck...
dennismcc Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I forgot about this thread completely, probably because I did not think I would be buying much in 2014 but there has been a bit of a resurgence of kit buying recently, so here are my new arrivals. And from Telford Cheers Dennis scvrobeson and Tewika 2

And from Telford Cheers Dennis Now THAT is a haul Dennis!!! I really would like a copy of the La-7
LSP_K2 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 The La-7 is very appealing to me too. Perhaps one day,...
Bill_S Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Early Christmas presents... I'll be holding off on this one, still hoping for a floatplane GB... Going through an old box, and I found this. It has to be at least 40 years old. The cap came off easily; a little thinner and a couple of BBs, and it came back to life! The cap still has the price printed on it. US 19 cents. Those Pactra paints were the best I could find back in the day! tomv87 1
LSP_K2 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 I too still have a half dozen or so Pactra paints, at least two brass, and some browns and greens. They work fine till this day, pretty amazing. I like that George too. Bill_S 1
LSP_K2 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 Received from a fellow forumite, this will be put to good use. I'm digging through my references right now for a scheme.
Neo Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Just received a 1/32 italery f-104 ordered from LM when on sale 69$inc shipping joe 1
LSP_K2 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 Probably won't make anyone jealous, but after three months in storage, I now finally have this back with me, where it belongs. I have all three Eduard sets for it, as well as some really cool figures too. I'm one happy pup! Out2gtcha 1
