As some of you know, I'm at the university right now and I don't really have too much time to build. But, I did lug a small display case to my apartment, which doesn't look too good with just one tank inside.

So, what I want to buy are some of your built ups that you don't mind parting with. I've tried Ebay, and while some have been awesome, some of the ones I've bought were downright terrible, with unfilled seams, damaged decals, glue stains, and sometimes even the flash from the sprue remains. I will also use them as examples for future builds as I'm still a bit new to this hobby.

So, let me know if you have anything, name your price, and I'll consider it. I know how to mail them with a low risk of damage, and I can walk you through the process if you haven't done it before. Also, I know how to build, and should be able to repair up to moderate damage.

Thanks

I'm mainly looking for armor in 1/35 scale, from 1930's to modern. All nationalities are great.

What range are you looking to pay? Not looking to exploit you, just curious.

I understand. I'd say I'm a pretty resourceful student, but a student nonetheless. I'd say maximum for a good build is about $80-120 as many are about that range on Ebay. Of course, I'm open to all sorts of negotiation.

By the way, I'm not trying to insult anyone. I've heard how hard it is to put value on someone else's art.

Thanks

I agree, it's not art. But given the AM upgrades I put into all my kits, I'd certainly want to get the cost of that back. I'll look at my stash and PM you.
