Wow, impressive list Shaun! :o

And I spied a couple of Sci-Fi items there! - Farscape was extremely cool! But Chiana shouldn't be much trouble painting? Just 50 shades of grey...DOHOHOHOHOHOHOImage


...Sorry, that was all kinds of pathetic ;) .


Best regards

The Urban dictionary defines Shelf Queen as "A (usually) antique item, such as a clock, radio, sewing machine, spinning wheel, tool,car parts, etc, that may or may not work, kept strictly as a display item. More often than not the item does not work but the owner has no intention of repairing it, it just sits there". I read over all your lists and was quite surprised by them. I have only one build that, in my terms, qualifies as Shelf Queen status. It is the old Legend Puma. It was just too much for me. The hull was terribly warped and I attempted my own Nochri adapter and it just got worse. With the release of the HobbyBoss kit, this will no longer be a Shelf Queen. I will open the box one last time and pull out useful items (Fruil track, beautiful brass made stowage rack (done by a friend), the Legend Adapter, and beautiful Modern IDF gear (unknown manufacturer but way nicer than the Meng sets). The rest will end up in the garbage.
