What the postman brought today (Armorama)

I know, I know! I’ve purchased myself out of my dream model room! Thus the radical halt in buying models.

Excellent encouragement Ryan! Will you be my sponsor?

Yes but it will cost you a few kits. I will take good care of them. :sunglasses:

You need a 7 lesson course in box space optimisation.
Stacking them willy-nilly on top of each other in some random order results in chaos.
1 Sort them according to size.
2 Check if a box in the official stash has some wasted space around it and find a box that fits the available space better. Move boxes around to get rid of wasted space.
3 Check if there is wasted space inside the boxes.
4 Check if two kits can enter a co-habitation relation.
5 Store aftermarket items, if any, inside the box of the target kit.
6 Check if the volume of some kit could be reduced by assembling some of the parts, a partial build.
7 Could point 6 lead to a reevaluation of point 4?

Edit: Lesson 8: Check if some kit can be re-housed in a smaller box (side effect of lesson 3)

Border model is really good, I like their models. The panzer IV models from them are nice too. What about the figures? Are they as good as the tanks?

They are resin and look really nicely detailed… Nice and crisply moulded.

These showed up about a month earlier than expected…

The tracks allow me to finish underway projects. The Panzer 38(t) was on my wanted list for almost 20 years. It will serve as a painting practice model that just happens to be very accurate and have individual link tracks. All three kits are going straight to the wash basin,
