Hey, its my birthday - what should I buy?

Apr 06, 2004 14 Replies

hit the big 45 today.



ordered the 1/32 Academy F-18 last nite and this morning at my desk at work was the 1/72 U-Boat and four sets of Jaguar 1/35 Germans from Great Models.



Am I tapped out or should I keep going?

For my birthday this year on the big 4-0 I treated myself to a Tamiya Corsair and a Wildcat on sale at Hobby Lobby. Total bill was about $18 bucks. Roughly the cost of the paint for all the kits you bought. Yeah, you're thru... dammit! ;-)

Nice haul, and Happy Birthday Older Fart.

To reply, get the HECK out of there snipped-for-privacy@earthlink.net

Keep going - there are five etch sets out there from Eduard for that

1/32 Academy F/A-18 alone...

(badly qouted from Animal House) "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" "Germans?" "Shut up, he's on a roll." "NO! It wasn't over then and it's not over now. It's not over until WE say it's over! Who's with me!!!"

Call it a mid-life crisis moment and compare the cost of your purchases to a converible sports car.

Now tell the wife/sig other that you only want to spend 10% of the $55,000 + cost of the car. Or even 1%..

Or start saving for the big 5-0...

Nah.. buy some more..

Congratulations, sonny! That's way more than my measly $9 purchase to celebrate 55 a while back. :)

Young punk!

Hit the not so big 59 this morning, except for the left knee which claims to be

  1. I'm buying a magnifier so the model scale won't have to go to 1:1.

I have a left knee that has the same opinion. It developed that attitude about two summers back.

And I have the syattica (man, I ~know~ that's mis-spelt!) to go with them!

Ooohhh, Yeah! I have one of those left knees too! Ended my bowling nights a couple of years back. (I'm 66 this month).
