Then I saw these on Fleabay and could not resist, some 1:35 scale maps and other period docs....

I used to have a site saved where you could download for free to print yourself all sorts of things like that....will see if i can find it

Yeah, when I did my German BMW R75 bike and sidecar build, the bike rider was meant to be reading a map, the kit had a very basic cut out one on the instruction sheet, but I did a quick search, found some online ww2 maps, copied them into a MS Word doc, shrunk them down to size and printed them off and used them instead, much more realistic, But I thought these were quite good too, and lots to choose from, so...

Oh Matron! I think im coming down with some kind of sickness!

3rd floaty boaty thing ive bought in 3 months .........usually avoid anything matelot for they are a strange lot ..........but i was in my local model shop looking for something specific...didnt have it but this caught my eye.....remember doing it too many years ago to count lol so i thought i might do it for the vintage airfix gb as well as the devonshire

I've been chauffeuring the wife for the past few weeks after she had foot surgery. I'm not keen on driving the car as a rule, but I have had a bit of practice lately! Anyway, on the way home from her place of employ this evening, she declared a need to pop into Lidl to pick up some bits. They got me....... £4.99. 0.6 to 2.5mm

birthday presents from the good lady.
and one from myself to me..

[Jim R]

Happy birthday Ian. Those Book Nook things look fun. I've seen them advertised but not seen one built. It will be interesting to see whether they make up like the advert pictures.

[Ian M]

I saw one someone posted about in here, saw they had them is a hobby arts shop and we had a look there are quite a few to choose from...
Had a look in the box today! Quite a bit to them. I will try to post a few photos along the way when I start one.

[PaulTRose]

I like these book nooks really must try one

[peterairfix]

i haven't brought much lately but within the last week i have gained this little lot

[PaulTRose]

Matron! Matron! Im definatly not well!

Went out for a walk and weekly nosey in the charity shops for books

On a table the Hasegawa logo caught my eye so got drawn to this

Turns out to be something called 'nanoblock'....a sort of japanese lego copy thats about a tenth if the size......1700 bits to make something about a foot long...for a fiver!.....quick look on amazon and new its 55 quid so had to take a punt

[Jim R]

Now you're gonna have to build that. A bargain indeed.

[pjgtech]

At least being much smaller than Lego means if you accidentally step on one, it won't hurt as much!
