This was not part of the plan (7 kits)

It is all ales fault! (Joking) ;)
I went into the hobby shop just to get a Fujimi Hartge H5-24 because I saw ales' beautiful Fujimi BMW E34, but I came out with 7 kits. :eek:

Alex, you should be ashamed ;)

LoL

Great collection of kits...It propably costed a good amount of money too!

I see you bought the Koenig 928!We might build this one at the same time also...:)

Once again great kits!

:devil:

What are your plans for the Sierra?

Bad, bad Ales... How can you do something like that to the nice folks of AF... ;)

Seriously, great selection of models, no need to feel bad about buying all seven. How can you pick just one from these?

-Pille-

My painting skills are still way under the skill level needed to paint the Sierra as shown in the box. The colors needed are TS23 (light blue), TS-26 (pure white) and X2+X14 (white+sky blue). I think I will make it a street version. Not sure about the color. Probably park green. What do you think?

The Supra will be in burgundy like your (ales) BMW E34 since that was the color of the 1st Supra I saw and kept staring at it like this :eek:.

The BMW will be in bright silver (Tamiya MS-2 for Mini 4wd) . It is brighter (at least the cap looks like it) than the regular Tamiya silver.

The Koenig 928 will be in gold. Waiting for MythosGR to say "When". ;)

Not sure about the rest yet. If anyone have other ideas please let me know. I know someone will tell me to send him/her some kits. I can do that but you will have to pay for it. :D

I know, I have the kit and I won't be caught dead painting it as it's supposed to be. So mine will be a street version RS500 and it will be blue so stay away from that colour :p

I did not want to open another thread so here are the 7 kits I got today.

Nothing special with the Nissan 180 SX, R33 and Toyota Supra. They are quite popular here.
The wheels are 18 inches by the way. Pretty nice.

What surprised me were the AMG Mercedes 600 SEL and Volvo 850 Turbo Estate. I love Volvos. :bigthumb:
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/726857kits04.jpg

The front seats of the AMG is covered and not holow like other kits. No more filling. :biggrin:
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/413610Amgmerc01.jpg

And the Volvo comes with floor carpeting sticker. Very nice touch. :bigthumb:

Porsche GT3 comes with carpeting.

Nice collection, although a bit extreme all at one time, or twice rather.

i wanted that Volvo Estate so badly, but the hobby shop has it for $40 :bloated: :bloated: I wanna see the Model5's on the 850 Estate :icon16:

Heh, my mom's not allowing me to buy any more kits. They're slowly stacking up in my closet. :D

I HATE YOU,i searched for that 180sx like 3 months now here in europe i simply cant find it:comprage1 :sly: :eek7: :biggrin2:

The honda fit comes with carpeting, By the way nice buys

Does the volvo come with a motor?

No, the Volvo does not come with a motor.
The back of the seats are also covered like the AMG.

Good to hear that Porsche GT3 and Honda Fit comes with carpeting too.

Only 5 kits this time.
GOD! I need serious help.:shakehead :screwy:
They all come with motors.:bigthumb:

must say you have a very nice store, TELL ME WHERE THE HELL THAT STORE IS !:tongue: :tongue:

very nice kits you've got from your last trip, why 2 mazda's?

I bought 2 Mazda 787B because I like how it looks. It reminds me of a clown.:lol:
One is for practice and the other one will be done once my skills improve.

:crying: i wish i can come over next week.

I thought you could get anything you want in HK and at much lower prices. :confused:
Give me a call when you get here. I'll take you there.

Man u got alot of models
I thought they don't sell the blue mercedes clk gt-r anymore.:confused:

man you bought so many and quality kit's that you really make me jealus...

Plus you are a great builder...I can't wait for more pics and projects from you...Loved your 928...

I went to the shop to get Tamiya acrylic paint XF-63 and came back with these. The funny thing is that I realized on the way home that I forgot to get the paint. :rolleyes: :banghead:

man that are many kits :D
nice purchases there :)

and btw., the honda s-mx lowdown comes with carpet too :)

If it makes you feel any better this is what ive purchased in the 3 Weeks. if fact 4 of these have been in my cars trunk for about that long. hehehe we need to go to modellers anominous MA :iceslolan :iceslolan

Sh**, freakmech, that's a lot of models! I have less models than that and it took almost a year to accumulate. You must be loaded :bloated:

reveller

i come to think you can shit out money Oo :D

actyally im pretty poor and you can see why!!!:iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan
i spend ever dime i have on models... lucky my girlfriend covers the bills when i over spend. yeah actually i didnt know i had bought this many in 3 weeks time till i took a picture. no wonder my girl is annoyed all the time. one day ill take a pic of all my kit boxes. i actually have a rental storage space for them and my real car parts. its disguesting to look at... i try not to go to the space cus it makes me ill. i havent bought any new clothes in like a year! i just buy models. to say the least im very popular at the hobby shop. whats worse is most of these models in the picture are in the works... i really have to start doing one model at a time

There is this old rich lawyer that goes to one of the local shops here and he buys every single new model that comes in. 1/12 to 1/43, $10-$200 it doesnt matter, hes crazy. whats worst is that he doesnt even build them... he just collects. never built one in his life. he has 2 rooms in his house full of models. NO LIE!!!! God i want to get in his will!!!!! ive offered to build some of his kits and he said no thanks. he just likes look at all the parts. i guess its a fetish or something

damn u guys are crazy you...i never start another model untill ive finished the one im on...but thats just me

Man, you have a big problem holding on to cash! :biggrin2:

freakmech, that picture, the rental storage space, and the story about the lawyer is quite comforting. :iceslolan :cheers:

I'm just a novice in this modelling thing, but for my first kit I bought the same Tamiya's F40 as you did. Have you started on it yet? How is it like? I found only one little problem: the exhaust tips dont exactly fit in their place, so I had to sand the exhaust box supports a little...Hope this helps you when you start it :smile:

Not yet. Only took it out of the box to take a look.:biggrin:
Thanks for the tip.:bigthumb:
Looking forward to your progress.

Finally got the Tamiya acrylic paint XF-63 I needed. And these of course.:evillol:

Wo thats a lot of kits!!!!!
Iam glad i only have three in progres.

P.S. who makes that red bmw(not sure maybe its the 320i???)

you are definitively crazy :D

btw, does anyone know where i can buy that bmw 320i from the inet?

Hello,

Where did you get the 600amg? I have the 600sel, 600sec and the 600sec amg but not the 600sel amg!

Greetings

HOLD ON ONE MINUTE!!!!!!! CYCHALEN.... i will buy that Hasegawa BMW 320i for $50 right now no lie. ive been looking for that damn thing for 3 years. ive been out bid 8 times on e-bay and cant find one in stock anywhere. PLEASE i am obsessed with that car. I AM BEGGING YOU HERE!

oh also i thought my post about the storage space sounded arrogant after reading again so i want to point out that the majority of the space holds a 65' Barracuda (real car), 90' and 93' 240SX (parts cars for my 92' 240SX) and alot of other real car parts as my brother and i are car collectors. but i would say there are 150+ models as well but i have been collecting for 10+ years and bought a few lots here and there and ive got about 60 kits at the house. i also was selling and locating kits for a while but to many people didnt pay up so ive got stuff i dont even care about.

freakmech I'll trade I Hasegawa 320 for your 240SX!!!

J/K but if you really want I can pick up you one...And yap 40(plus shipping) US will do...(But I'd love to trade for some revell kits we don't get here...)

P.S:By the way Cychalen I wan't to move near your place cause you have amazing hobbyshops...Old Tamiya releases together with amzing Fujimi kits,Wheel kits and Aaoshima kits...Man you should be very happy!!!!!

no problem... what kits arew you looking for? ill trade 4 revells for the 320i... with in reason.... what do you want? where are you?

600sel, happy to see another MB lover. I got it from the LHS.

freakmech, :eek: that's a nice offer.

MythosGR,yes I am a very happy man, but my wallet is not too happy. :lol:

I really want the 2 Civics(hatch and sedan)other than that...Add whatever you want...If you can find a 32 Ford I'd love it...or a good mustang kit...
P.M. for Details...I live in Greece...
