Tom! What are you waiting for?
The suspense is killing ya, isn’t it? :giggles: You’ll have to wait and see.

I scored this old jewelry cabinet at an estate sale for $20. It's really big and made of solid word, no particle board or press fiber board. You can hold a TON of jewelry in this thing. Space for lots of tools and supplies. I pretty happy with it.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

That looks exceptionally useful Brandon! And it’s made from actual solid wood? Double score! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

Thank you guys! I'm sure a few leprechauns were watching over this ole' Irishman here! I'm just thrilled to have them all. Those organizers are a real blessing!

Nice scores too guys! Man, everyone is getting a St. Paddy's Day blessing!

My order finally showed up! With bottle redemption cash ($35), birthday cash from the missus and my son and threw in a little more for myself.

Big box for good reasons...

Contents... all 1/48 scale:

Now I can finish my dual build with this Mustang kit.

I waited long enough to finally grab this bird. I have aftermarket decals from a few years ago I've been wanting to do.

Image

Misery loves company. Grabbed this one but is the same updated kit I had posted in the Butcher Bird forums but different box art.

Image


I've been wanting to do the Turkish F-4E Phantom "Terminator" for a long time. A model kit company based out of Turkey, Babibi Models had them but didnt want to order from Turkey. Meng finally released the Turkish Terminator Phantom a few weeks ago. No way I'm passing on this one.

Image

Big box indeed... She's gonna be a big bird too!
