Default New kits

Ok, so I realized that I have issues, I am not a trucker or have ever sat or been around a semi truck, but I just can't get enough of these **** things, all I need is a Volvo globe trotter and I will have every semi truck that tamiya ever made. I'm thinking of a dumper for the MAN since I will not use any of the parts for my 8x8 as I originally planned, crane and flat bed for the Merc giga space, heavy hauler for the Knight hauler and a tanker Two axle water truck for the Aeromax. Obviously it will take sometime to fund all this but I hope I'm not going nuts here. What do you guys think?

HAH!

Says you, Joe! Digging out a basement with ~toys~? Bet the local psychiatric board would have ye in the nut house, on thorazine AND lithium in no time...

Then there is Willy - aka " Wild " Willy. Really nice guy, but some of the things he dreams up, oy! Wish I lived closer...

Then again, I've not exactly got me full set of marbles. My SO is a siamese cat (and a cranky one at 17+ years) and then we can look at the motor pool:

- 2x Leo 1A4's, Leo 2A6, Pershing, Sherman, M41 & Pz3 chassis, & a T55;
- two Dumas 4' boats, Lindberg PT, Graupner 'Carina' & Seadoo, & 'Shark' sub;
- ~five~ Kyosho JGSDF LAV's, one+extras Robbe 'Rodeo' 6x amphib, Robbe 8x8 'Panther' firetruck, King Hauler w/ extra Globeliner cab, flatbed trailer, & a Goldhofer on the way;
- oh, and my Blade mQx quadrotor drone!

WAY Too much... gotta take pics and liquidate!

WhiteWolf
- oh, ands take my meds... can't forget to take the meds!

My Grandmother used to say, jump in head first. Having so many will help if you get to a stale mate with one you can start on another. This is a great hobby, and great forum of people with tons of experience. You will do okay as long as you stick with your budget for each-just like everything else in life, lol. Don't forget to post pics as you go...Good luck with all your builds.

Cool Re: New kits

Yes sir You are a raving lunatic

I only have: 1 King Hauler, 1 Knight Hauler, 1 Ford Aeromax, and 1 Globeliner

Then, of course, I have my dozens of 1/28 & 1/32 tractor-trailers and I've totally lost count of my 1/87 scale collection

But then again, I do have a brain-tumor

Dwayne is probably the man with the most toys

You have been one of my heroes for a while now, I just wish I could afford to compete with you in quantity. Man, it would be awesome to live local to you.
