Latest Acquisitions (2025)

Latest acquisitions....
Used a fair bit of black primer on my current SR71 build, so was running a bit low.
Also saw a good looking mag on how to rust models, so bagged that, and the pilots in my SR-71 build are sometimes in orange suits, (as well as other colours) and I realised I do not have any orange. I did manage to cobble together a sort of orange/brown for the pilots, but bagged myself a tin of orange anyway.
Also noticed I am a bit short on clamps, I have some, but not enough, so got a few more of those too.

Latest arrivals at Geoffers Towers 😀

I had a bit of a stash clear out so had room for a couple of replacements.

Both kits from the shop, great service as usual from John 👍

I’m not sure it was the Royal Navy’s last propeller fighter as the Hawker Sea Fury was in service longer, but it looks like a very nice kit.

My favourite helicopter so I was very pleased to see Italeri have re-released it 😊

Some acrylic inks to try some new weathering techniques.

Cheers,

Geoff.

I understand your feelings about it being the Columbia, build it as a tribute to the crew.

Its a valid point Paul. I will do that.

I am on a roll with this space stuff. Just bought one of these for £30 including postage. Seems like quite a fair bit of model for a half decent price. Only downside is it is of the ill fated "Columbia" and I would rather it have been of one of the others. Looks like it makes up into a decent model.

Thanks Ron. The back end of my tweezers works well.

Pete, a word in your ear.

With all of these type of 'Press together' wooden models, don't try and push the parts together with your finger ends. You will soon regret it - Unless you like a bit of pain later on that is!

Use summat metal and flat to squeeze them together. A letter opener for instance.

Here endeth the lesson.....
