She raises the odd eyebrow but doesn't say much...besides, she generally gets whatever she wants.

She's heard of a certain retail establishment opening in Chester so I suprised her by booking a 4-day stay...that should keep me in credit for a few more aircraft and I do know there is a large Modelzone store in Bridge St. Chester :DL

1/18 is a little big I'm afraid, all mine are 1/72 and I'm still without any display space :-?

[QUOTE=jimbuna;1658219]That must be some small scale...1/144 perhaps?

Yes. :yep: They don't have as much detail but, not bad considering.

I might try possibly doing a diarama Air Show. The only ones they don't have is, a Pitts Racer or a Gee Bee Racer. :wah:

[QUOTE=FIREWALL;1659701]Put some pictures up on here...the more people that do that the better.

I'll be posting my latest acquisition (the Lightning) when it arrives.

I had an old Imageshack account. I wonder if it's still good ? :hmmm:

Will check it out. :yep:

You don't need to be registered with ImageShack to post pictures...one of the benefits over Photobucket IMHO.

so what's the net worth of your collection?

Hard to say Jason because the vast majority are limited editions and checking on eBay shows a definite upward trend in values since I started collecting in Dec 2010.

What I can tell you is I keep a spreadsheet of my collection and thus far I've spent £2072.08.

Who was it that said "Crime doesn't pay" :DL

I did mean that 'literally' :DL

Here is the last three purchases sited on the ottoman bed.

Here is what she's lying on (sorry but I forgot the flash wasn't turned on for these two).

Will aim for Ikea furniture in the background, :DL

It does look like it doesn't it?

I can assure you it isn't though.:DL

It was just a guess, actually, looked like it, with mirrors and furniture, neat.I believe in what you say, :yep:

It actually came from an online retail furniture store.

Mrs Buna and daughter chose it because it 'looked nice' :doh:

When it arrived (two triple size wardrobes and a chest of 6 drawers) some parts were broken and some were missing so the whole order was returned TWICE and took over three months to get sorted :stare:

Never again....old man Buna pays for it so he will pick it in future (until Mrs Buna flutters her eyelids no doubt) :03:

I have never acted, furniture online, would prefer to see the product before my eyes, and feel free to give it a "kick" to ensure the sustainability :o ... but when you mention this, so I remember the conversation you mentioned before,but I must course, admit that you had bad luck to be forced to send to back off, because of error, which is not a dream situation, :88)

Lesson learned :know:

The latest addition has arrived:
AA32310 English Electric Lightning F.6 XR769, No. 11 Squadron, RAF Binbrook, Lincolnshire, 1983...267/1500

That is some nice planes Jim. :yep: And what's nice is they increase in value.

Well for me the big or should I say little 1\144 announcement is... I just ordered my first plane. The P-51D Mustang. :DL

Now the ordering frenzy begins. :D

Damn Jim, that's one fine bird. :up:

Cheers...don't forget to stick em up here so we can all have a look.

Thanks Jamie...simply wish I could display them all.

Just back from a four day trip to the north west with Mrs. Buna during which my retail therapy was helped with the purchase of three more aircraft:

A Red Arrows Hawk (no Brit diecast collection can be completed without one.
Another 'Brick' (Raspberry Ripple colour scheme).
A Falklands era Sea Lynx from HMS Brilliant.

I'll post again after I get a few piccies.

I have a feeling when I venture up norf next April to Yark that I will be coming back with a few aircraft :03: Honeymoon or no. :haha:
