Well the Scorpion has always been my favourite Recon tank, so I'm just pleased to have that at least, but it would be way cool to have some more British Cold war AFVs. The Striker and the tracked rapier would be high on my list.

I am looking forward to the new Airfix Stalwart when it comes out.

Picked this up at a store in the mall. They had some pretty nice Gundams.

Wow, amazing acquisitions guys!

Here are some of the things I got lately...

First, some raffle prizes from my last IPMS meeting:

Image

Image

Next are some tools I got from my wife. This first one is a powered oscillating sander designed for use on plastics so they don't melt them:

Image

That has come in handy in a major way with the two B-2 Stealth Bombers I'm working on.

Next is a desk lamp with lighted magnifyer:

Image

And finally, the thing everything is sitting on is a gift from a friend; all I had to do was re-install one of the casters, here you see it in place under my window with my exhaust fan in the background:

Image

I've made a lot of space in the room by adding these things to the drawers. In the top two drawers are all my most used tools:

Image

The next drawer down holds about a third of my paints. It's even more filled now than is shown here:

Image

The bottom two deep drawers hold about one fifth of my parts boxes. I'm still trying to condense them all down into less boxes while making them more organized so I can find things easier:

Image

That is all for now. We'll see if anything else comes in later. After all, I did a job for my wife that she was so happy for that I took a chance and asked for "pay" in the form of a $50.00 value purchase of model(s). I'm still looking to see what I want to get.

Stay tuned!

A great idea on the Craftsman tool chest. I had thought about grabbing one a year ago at my workplace a department was tossing out. I opt not to due to space restraints at my bench.

Nice scores Mark. The magnifying lamp is exceptionally useful you will find. And I do like the ‘57 El Dorado & WWI Battleship kits! :shoutout:
