What did you get at the Hobby Shop today?


Recommended Posts

Something a little different this week. I went to Games Workshop and piccked up the Limited Edition Ultramarines Captain Sicarius, some paints and gaming dice.

My oldest lad and a mate have convinced me to get back into Warhammer 40K, so I am painting miniatures and Marine armour as a very pleasant diversion.

Not today, but yesterday, on my way home from work:

- Belcher Bits decal sheet for myself (sorry phantom, no Tutor sheets in stock)

- some Ultracast goodies for the P-39 Airacobra

I visited the only model shop in Red Deer, Alberta (Choo, Choo Willie's, don't laugh the owner's a train guy) and found them to be having a sale. 40% off no less. And there was a Revell 1/32 Hawker Hunter just calling to me. :banana:

I miss the sale table one of the hobby shops I used to visit in Seattle had - for that very reason. The shop over in Reno does have some decent deals, but you sort of need to go hunting for them... of course, sometimes that can be sort of fun in it's own right :banana:

Fortune favors the vigilant!

Good hunting!

Some excellent goodies today-

1/48 Monogram F-104 Starfighter (and the decals are still good!)

1/48 Tamiya F-117 Stealth

1/48 Academy P-47N Thunderbolt

The Stealth is one of the most impressive kits I've seen, really looking forward to building it. That P-47N is a kit I haven't heard that much about, but it looks very good although I'll probably be adding some aftermarket decals. As for, the -104, it was there and I've wanted a second go at it since at the time I didn't know that Starfighters had white wings. :D Good stuff!
