Thanks guys!

Hey guys. Am presently trimming down my stash. Just in case anyone here is interested, am getting rid of some of my planes, armour, figures and other model kits as well as magazines and paints.

MODEL KITS AND SUPPLIES FOR SALE

I made at least 2 to 3 cheap ones before (w/o paints), but my daughter smashed them to pieces. I like building them, but the finished product didn't look good (ie. doesn't resemble a realistic smaller scale of the real thing). This kinda disappointed me, the reason why I didn't pursue it before.

 

I'll look for these Dragon kits in local stores. Thanks for the tip man. :cool:

 

Checked its price over the internet. About $30 each, not bad, they look great too. I'll replace these PC game boxes in front of me in the near future.

Yeah, I know what you mean... I don't exactly know what's in the completed kits which kids just couldn't resist smashing. Anyway, am glad to be of help. Good luck on your collection!

I'm not into scale modelling, but i'm interested. Sorry, i'm too lazy to back-read to find myself the answers (search function is not working too).

 

How much will I spend if I make one, like a jet aircraft. I don't know how it is measured, maybe about 10 inches in length. Complete with paints and colors.

 

BTW, is it recommended to do the above right away? 'Coz I don't have any idea as how to make one.

 

Tips? Links?

 

Thanks in advance.

Well, as Dr. Pepper have posted above, the most painless way for you to do it is buy a completed (pre-painted) model. Dragon kits are quite well-detailed and offer lots of options (i.e., removable stores and landing gears). Otherwise, you could do what we all did and start from zero-skill modeling experience. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty (there are a lot of cheap subjects to experiment on, anyhow). Besides, I don't think any modeler here could claim being an expert right away on their first kit. The key is practice and lots of patience. Also, try searching with Google and am pretty sure you'll get lots of tips and info from other sources in the net. The most important thing here is to enjoy yourself... everythinbg else comes second...

I believe so. I started on planes - 1/72 scale matchbox kits, then tried others - 1/35 armor, even motorcycles and engines. I'm now into sci-fi kits - mostly star wars and star trek. The PAF series is a side project, but in 1/72 scale to match the fine molds 1/72 kits I have.

 

Sheesh! It's been three years since I last built a kit. :thumbsdownsmiley:

Ah, yes... the venerable Fine Molds Star Wars Kits. I've been eyeing those kits as well but they really are expensive. I guess given the fact that they're the best Star Wars kits ever produced, the price is well worth it, isn't it? Have you built the Millenium Falcon yet? Post some pictures here Bro so that we can take a look at your masterpieces!

I've had this personal side project to complete all the PAF's aircrafts. It's limited to a few models, but the problem is locating some of the rare items like the WWII sea-plane that looked similar to a PB-Y, but had a different construction. Of course, all of the models I've collected are ITB (in the box).

Is it true that as modelers age they tend to "specialize" on the theme of their collections? I just had this thought because before, I was an indiscriminate kit buyer - I buy armours, figures, ships, sci-fi, planes, choppers, cars even dinosaurs of all scales and brands so long as I find them interesting (my wallet permitting, of course). Lately though, I'm more inclined on limiting my collection to just modern jets and choppers in the 72nd scale and discarding all the other kits which, admittedly, I do not have the time nor the inspiration to work on. And while at it, I might just further reduce my collection to modern jets and choppers of the US and the IDF which simply means I need to shave off more kits from my collection...

I'm also not aware of any market for built models, even on specific models on customer order. If I were someone who wanted a built model, there are already pre-painted (sometimes including weathering) plastic and die cast miniatures in various scales of aircraft and armor in Lils, usually made by Dragon's and Trumpeters' subsidiaries.

Well, there are. But it's very few and far in between. I know of this certain modeler who was commissioned to make armor/vessels found in the AFP inventory. His works are now displayed inside a government installation...

Nag ganito na din ako nung college ako. Ang ginawa ko ay yung small helicopter na hindi ko na maalala ang pangalan.. tapos yung mga kasama ko sa boarding house, mga malalaking jets ... pero all gold! Ang saya saya.. gusto ko ulit bumalik sa hobby na ito. More power to scale modellers out there! :cool:

 

*Tanong lang, kung maganda ang pagkakagawa mo ng scale model, mag-cocommand ba yun ng higher price?

Am not aware if there is a market here in the Philippines for built models. But if there is, I would imagine that the demand would be on the modeler's skill and not necessarily his built kits, i.e., potential customers would specify the specific model which he or she would want the modeler to build. Besides, as far as I know, modelers do this as a hobby and for personal satisfaction and not really for financial reasons. But if I were that lucky - to do something you love and excel in it (building model kits) while getting paid for doing it, that would simply be the greatest thing in the world!!!

I hear you on the cabinet stuffing of the kits yiur really want to build. I also put them away to complete when I'm confident about my modeling skills. As if that will ever happen! So even my aftermarket decals and expensive resin cockpits and sets get confined to the dungeons.

 

I'm a big aircraft fan sir, but the operative word is BIG. It's gotta be at least 1/48th scale for me to enjoy building it. I still wake up in a cold sweat and throw up whenever I remember my attempts to mask a 1/72 Bf 109 canopy. Ohhh the pain, the pain!

Hahaha! Roger that Sir...

Dude! i tried the Wipe n Shine on the canopy of my A-10 Thunderbolt 1/144 scale. And its SHINY and Fine

I too have also been a long-time user of this stuff, brushing it directly on the model before applying decals to avoid silvering. Although milky in appearance, it dries clear and evenly... highly recommended!

Hey Doc... not a big aircraft fan, eh? I take it you're a "bakal-boy" then?

Anyway, thanks for keeping an eye out for a "MiG Killer." I was fortunate enough to source one locally from a fellow modeller (after more than a month of prodding and haggling). The price ain't pretty so I'd rather forget about that aspect though. Funny thing about getting the kits that I want, I seem to experience a lot of reservations on putting it together (botching up the job and everything else) so it always ends up inside a cabinet collecting dust... unbuilt... ready to be buried by yet another purchase... *sigh* so many kits, so little time...

Run an errand this morning at the Ayala area... passed by Glorietta... and was again, by an invisible force, invariably sucked into Lil's. Saw three kits which I've long been searching for and without batting an eyelash, shelled out more than two-thousand bucks for the following kits:

Another three kits to add to my already growing stockpile of unbuilt kits... *sigh* somebody get me professional help... am a plastic addict!!! :boo:

meron na palang issue ang mcfarlane.....

 

gandan naman......

Actually, these figures are not new... the T-850 was released by McFarlane in June 2003 (coinciding with the T3 movie) while the first batch of McFarlane's Military figures was released in June 2005...

Here's a group pic of some of the McFarlane's Military figs which I've sold a few weeks back... It's from the likes of these figs where I got Arnold's firepower seen on my previous posts...

That's what I like about McFarlane's figures... they were all made in relative sizes of each other, thereby making accessories from different series interchangeable...

Here's a more dramatic scene which I've played in my imagination with the help of a McFarlane Marine, the McFarlane T-850 and a NECA endoskeleton. It's entitled... "Holy Crap!"...

What do you get when you cross McFarlane's T-850 Terminator with the hardware from the McFarlane's Military series? One bad-ass Arnold, that's what!

Here is the basic T-850 with its original accessories, an auto-grenade launcher and a shotgun....

McFarlane's Military set sold already. Thanks for all the inquiries!

Sirs, am looking for a Hasegawa 1/72 F-4C/D, preferrably the MIG Killer variant. Anyone here willing to sell or have information where I can get one?

Except for one figure which is still in its unopened clamshell (Marine Recon), all the other thirteen figures are loose. Am selling the whole set for only 7.5K. For those interested, please PM me your numbers and location. Thanks for looking!

Sir, would you know the FS colors used on the camoflage paint of the MG-520? Thanks again!

Am planning on building a PAF MG-520. Is the 1/35 Dragon MD500E's airframe similar to this (I got the Los Angeles Sheriff variant)? Am sure that someone here has already built a PAF MG or knows someone who already have. Could anyone here point me to the right direction? Thanks a lot Sirs!

Meron din ko nakita dito sa SG.....

 

Gusto ko magkaroon nung sniper......

Which Sniper is that? There are actually six different sniper figures - 2 marine corps recon, 2 army special forces, 1 army ranger and 1 navy seal. Compared to the other McFarlane's Military figures, the snipers are the fastest selling and the hardest to find... and that's not because of the ghillie suits that they're wearing either... hehe...

Kidding aside, am currently disposing some of my McFarlane's Military figures, including a Marine Corps Recon Sniper and an Army Special Forces Sniper. Actual images are as shown:

Fellow modeller here, aircraft and choppers particularly but I also delve in other subjects every now and then. At present, almost all of the available cabinet spaces in our house are crammed full with unbuilt boxes of models which I've accumulated in the past 10 or more years, pissing-off the missus everytime I get home with another box to add to my collection. Funny thing is, the rigidity of my job now (plus two toddlers lurking around the workbench everytime I attempt to build) prevents me from ever building even a single model and yet, I couldn't resist buying one everytime I walk inside a hobby shop. I now feel that am somewhat afflicted with a rare disease of being addicted to plastics... is this normal guys or is it just me?

Am a collector of various figures which includes Star Wars and SOCs. At present, am completing the McFarlane's Military line-up and have accumulated more than two dozen figures. Anyboy here who's into collecting these finely crafted commandos as well? Am particularly looking for the whole Redeployed 2 line....

Sadly, he even used MTC as a vehicle for his intimidations by posting PICTURES of their most intimate moments in one of the forums here...
