Charlie Cheetah Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Cheryl gave me an early B/Day gift of the monetary variety tonight, so after some careful deliberation (about 90 seconds worth), we headed to Micheal's and I put that cash along with a bit of my own and a 40% off coupon towards a brand spanking new airbrush. I decided on the Badger Crescendo 175-7 set (lots of extras in the box) Now I will have to wait til Wednesday(my next day off) before I can fire up that baby. Thank You Cheryl!

badpony Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 do vendor tables at a contest count as a hobby shop? :lol: The Valkryie, 1 of the Tamiya M1A2 weren't purchased at ModelFiesta, but everything else in his pile was. The Academy M1A1 is only for parts since the kit in a whole is crap. The Verlinden box is a 120mm OIF 101st Airborne troop, my first figure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winnie Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Went to a store in St. Johns (Actually Torbay) last week, and got the Tamiya X-1 in 1/72. Just waiting to go back to London and my favourite store there to pick up my brand new Trump Chinook, Dragon M-1 and perhaps a Tamiya F-16. Have the Academy one, but may be moving so perhaps another one for the stash?? Anyways, looking forward to doing some building and painting again (on my 120 mm Dubya fighterpilot).
