... seeing two Revell 1/72nd Type VII U-Boats ($35 each with the 50%
discount) and walking out with NEITHER.  To add insult to injury, I actually
spent most of my time on the other side of the store picking up Halloween
stuff I actually needed to pick up.

But I still have one more day on those subs, right. ;-)

Well seeing as how you have no gun's in
the house anymore, we know it has happened
in your case.....

You're just bragging because it's safe to have knives in yours again.

Yeah., and it is still not safe here.

Just dropped an X Acto knife while barefooted and
it landed point first stuck in the carpet
between my big toe, and the next one.

Needless to say I learned a lesson very quickly,
thankfully with no blood shed this time !!!

BTW, I just actually finished a model for the first
time in a year !~! (1/32 109 G6 R2)

No, sharp blades and a dull mind at times.......

But hey, I AM building models consistently right
now, so this is a good thing :)

Been to our local HL 5-6 times the last two weeks. Just picked up some auto
1/32 snaps for the Gkids and Dragon 3 in1 tank. I keep eyeing the BIG Bone,
the sub and Big Deuce but have talked myself out of them each time.
But you're right, one more day......................:-)

Went back to HL today - passed on the subs (again) and decided to hold off
on the big Tomcat too.  Neither is in my mainstream of focus (1/35th armor
and 1/48th aircraft) so I figured if I was going to be weak right now, at
least make it count. I couldn't resist the Dragon King Tiger Ardennes 1944
kit at $18. I recalled the discussion in RMS on Dragon's recent improvements
a few days ago and decided I needed to find out for myself.

WOW!  That is some good looking plastic in there - and aluminum, and
brass...
Let the research begin.

STOP IT!  You're not helping me fight the urge to make that trip myself.

Me too. I just couldn't stay away. Passed on the sub, Bone and Big Deuce
again but picked up Dragon Tiger, T-34? and a Caddy kit just for the engine
and wheels for a rod project. I'll curbside the body in some mild custom, I
guess.

They're all closed on Sundays.  The discipline will be if they issue
another 40% off anything coupon in tomorrows ad.  :-)

Ours happens to have a humongous submarine model, Revell I think, about
3' long I'd guess and about $69.  BIG sucker for sure!  They have a huge
one of the QM II too.  Bought that one myself.

They're all closed on Sundays.

Went by my local HL today just as they were putting out some new stock and
picked up the Tamiya 1/48 Tiger I. And I wasn't even "shopping." They are
closed now so we've got to wait until the next quarter for a big sale.

Don't know about all the stores but the local one has an aisle devoted to
mark-downs. All the models on clearance are 1/3 off. Saw a Tamiya
Beaufighter and a 72nd Mossie and a bunch of cars and cycles. Seems like an
ongoing thing.
