Nice, but no use in a game: it will either be late or arrive quietly and leave a card that you can get it tomorrow. :D

I just noticed that the post mark is dated 1102 (MCII) and it only arrived in 2012!

As I'm presently building all the required models for a scifi RPG campaign, I had to get my hands on a spacestation. And I didn't want to scratchbuild, as this needs to be done fast. Scale is approximately 1:1000, and I'm using all kinds of stuff, from Epic tanks with wings to Em4 fighters, complete kitbashes and converted cheap snap-fit Star Wars kits. There's even a Battleship Yamato ship on its way here. But now I needed a very large space station, for the PC group to dock (and probably demolish in a session or two...  ::) ).

So I found an OOP Perry Rhodan Sol ship on Marktplaats (a local Dutch Ebay-like site), which often has some hidden gems. And boy did it this time!  ;)

Even though it regularly goes on Ebay around €50,-, I made a cheeky offer of €15,-, which was promptly accepted! But then he replied that he had some more 'spaceship boxes'. Turned out to be a vintage Lindberg Star Probe station and a ERTL Millennium Falcon! And all three kits were still bagged and in their boxes. I offered €60,- and he went for it, including shipping! :o

So, now I have two Space Stations (even though the Perry Rhodan one actually is supposed to be an 8km long generation-ship), and a long desired, but never before obtained, YT-1300 in a scale that approximately will work with 28mm figures.

Came in this evening, and my weekend is already a good one...  8)

Two planes for air interdiction for my 1955 Invasion! of Canada by the Grays game:

1. a CF-100 Canuck "Clunk", by Raiden/I-94 - the fighter to contend with the UFOs. Quite possibly the ugliest plane ever built. Many Canadian pilots would cry when given the Clunk over a Sabre assignment! lol. Going to paint this one in bare metal silver and red.

2. a T-33 T-Bird, by Scotia/Collectair - an early Electronic Warfare model for the RCAF. Going to paint this in black and red.

Waiting on RCAF roundels from Dom's Decals.

10 very simple Spitfire kits in approximately 1/56 scale. They set me  back €1,99 a piece!

A couple have been shipped off to Mason, but that leaves me plenty to go about making a pre/early war flightline for my Fallschirmjäger to attack :D

The plan is to do up 3 as Mk1 Spitfires on their flightline and one crashed into the ground (as an objective marker perhaps). The remaining 4 will then be subjected to some rudimental surgery to convert them into Bf109 lookalikes, again with 3 on the flightline and 1 crashed. You know; to return the favour with some Red Devils perhaps...

Many thanks to Belgian by the way, for pointing out that these little guys were out there 8)
