I picked up a Tamiya 1/350 Fletcher kit the other day. I am getting pretty good at the 1/700s and am ready to try something with more detail.


I tried ships. I'm not sure they're for me though. I've got a Bogue CVE somewhere (1:700 scale) and packed away in a box somewhere is a Buckley DE with photo etch to convert it to a RN Captain class frigate. But they aren't likely to get done any time soon. A small child and a lack of patience has seen to that.

So I salute you, for your ability to glue tiny bits of plastic to other, slightly larger, bits of plastic.


I find painting to be the hardest part. My skillset just doesnt lie that way.

I'm off to the St. Louis and Kansas city areas for a couple of days, and would be interested in meeting any brethern for a drink or three. While practicing my rudeness of course.


I would, but I am stuck in Pratt the whole week..



I'll be going to and from St Louis a lot for the next six months, then living in the St Louis area for the next 3 years. I definately plan on some road trips to Kansas in that time. So how about a raincheck?

As someone who routinely glues small lead pieces to slighter larger lead pieces in 6mm, 1:285 scale for his other wallet-destroying metal-crack addiction, I must admit that I laughed at your description of 1:700 scale models.

The part that I don't laugh about any more is the fact that my 6mm minis can cost the same as your 1:700 scale models.

I wouldn't consider it any more wallet destroying than I would some of my wife's hobbies. I atleast have something left to display (Models), use (completed wood working projects), or earn my money back (real estate). Her...not even close.

I'll grant you, I use and display my minis so it's not like they're going to be a complete waste, but the price of lead and other metals used in miniatures has sky-rocketed in the past decade, to the point that I was paying almost $90 for certain minis at one time. Granted, those days are long gone, but you get the idea. What caused it to stop was an internal audit I did of my assets one year shortly after my divorce, when I realized just how much money I had sunk into a miniatures board game. I'll put it this way, my truck isn't as valuable as my mini collection...

The warranty states that it can abrogated me of sin, if that's not the case I'll be taking it back, as that's the main reason I bought it.

The warranty is not valid unless written in proper Engrish.

Doesn't that invalidate 90% of the product sold at WalMart?

That doesn't exactly count, since most who shop at Wal-Mart couldn't read proper Engrish anyway.

I think it means he doesn't believe in my toaster, and he is probably right there. But still I don't think I'll be telling my toaster, as he is very wise and good company when Mrs DivePac is away.

Bought myself another big Lancaster, one I've wanted for a while. Admiral Prune is inbound... It looks like I'll be needing a big display cabinet I think Mrs Dixie would have preferred my original idea of collecting stuff from the CBI theatre. Instead I'll be getting a Battle of the Ruhr theme as well, although she thinks it's instead of. The bombers are nice, but they don't come up often and they're usually damned expensive. I looked at getting PA474 as Phantom of the Ruhr but it went for £150


Already assembled Martin?
