The new Goldvarg models arrived which prompted me to open them all up for photos, while doing so, I took a look at the cabinet that I house unopened models in. It seems that there was quite a few waiting for their moment in the camera spotlight, so I opened them as well. I still have quite a few more to go...

You must know the delivery folks from USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc. very well. Looks like a nice set of new models.

It's a fabulous time to be a 1/43 scale model collector but tough on the old wallet.

@daveg 

I'm not sure, but this I can say. I really don't have the time for that, and OMG! I'd have to put them all away afterwards. Yikes!

@daveg Excuse me, I have to butt in here......if you put them end to end by my estimation they would reach from John Merritt's house to Sergio's new museum.....give or take.
