Lost Ruins Booknook Complete plus a Kitnapping

I woke up today intending to get straight onto finishing Lost Ruins. Buuuuuut I could not get the fact that Spotlight’s 30% off storewide sale started today.

Sooo what did I do? I got in the car to go window shopping.

It all went well, but I caved and picked up a basket. I just needed a few more paint colours I told myself. And they are on sale.

So I got 6 new colours to add to my supplies.

Then I make the mistake and go to the model aisle. (Mistake or subconcious purposeful directive…you decide).

But I was good. I picked up nothing…that I can remember, but somehow when I got to the counter, these 4 models were in my basket.

Whats a guy to do. They clearly wanted to be adopted and find a new home, and I am a sucker for a good Kitnapping. I mean 30% off??? They sold themselves, and I will give them a good home.

Now, back to Lost Ruins.

Its finished and I absolutely love it.

Both Drake and Lara made it into the build.

So much colour and beautiful printed designs.

My new board rack arrived @Grey74 have you got yours yet? It takes up less room than what I was using before, and is quite sturdy. The metal dividers are quite strong and don’t bend under pressure, but that is because they are designed to hold glass panels.

It can hold 15 borads, but you can easily double up with more than one board per slot if you really had to. If anyone is interested, it is on Amazon at the link below. It ships from the US.

Thank you @300. I think the kits were a good purchase too. And in time for Christmas…I just hope I have time to get them done along with the winter customisation and a kit for my partner’s christmas present that I also need to build and customise :rofl:

Lost Ruins is so beautiful :face_holding_back_tears:. I love the added figures, they fit right in.

And the Christmas kitnapping made me laugh! Obviously you needed to rescue those poor rejected kits…

Obviously I need to go to spotlight and rescue a few more…

Lost Ruins looks great next to Atlantis. I didn’t think to get a pic of them side by side.

It really is a beautiful model.

The sticker in the base plate of the parts stand was a bugger to get off. It shredded so I had to soak it in hit water to get the rest of the paper off…then the sticker glue stayed on and I didn’t have any good remover so out came the method and a nylon scourer. Finally got it all off. :rofl:
