    It appears that my family don't talk to each other regarding my Christmas list as I've been inundated with these this year!! Still, musn't grumble eh?

      As young Mr Grace would say"Youve all done very well",A nice selection of goodies.My wife bought me a nice rechargeable mini drill which has no lead just USB charging.Be good for small jobs and will have a try later.I got from.my folks 2 Panda models M1 Abrams kits.One is the M1 and other Ipm1 version.I like the earlier ones.Seen a few reviews which slate the kits but good enough for my mediocre standards.
      Happy modelling all.

            From memory I think it was the last steam powered warship in the Royal Navy?

            Lots of places have it on their webpage, but always out of stock. Then I saw this one a while back on flea bay, but didn't buy it.
            But it kept niggling away at me, I made one of these when I was a kid, and bodged it obvs, so want to do a better job this time around.
            Eventually I gave in and bought it. Box is a bit tatty but it looks like its all there. Very happy. 8-)

                New book (for me). Been after this for years but could never find it at a reasonable price. It sometimes goes for stupid prices, but is generally about three times its original cover price. Anyway, got (very) lucky on eBay and viola…

                  Been using my bottle for years. It’s a good clear gloss varnish.

                    Even more impressive when you find out that figure is 30mm high Steven. Flats are something I’ve always wanted to try, so I’m hoping this gives me the shove I need…..

                      Walked into Daisho the other day and bought this cutter. Haven't used one of these for ages since art school days to cut friskets to airbrush.

If it ever gets blunt I'll use it for scribing. Daisho is a Japanese Pound shop for those who may not know.

                        Flats don't appear very often. Perhaps a bit specialised. We've had a few done on the forum but not many. I look forward to seeing how you get on when you find a suitable subject.

                          This year's Airfix Club Kit arrived this afternoon. A quick check and all looks OK, one tiny aerial for the RAF version has come adrift from the sprue but was lurking in the bottom of the bag.

                            Rather belated catch-up but I've heard good things about this kit. Hope so, as I have one in the stash.

                            Well folks I am still breathing! Julie's half way through the chemotherapy. Three more to go. I have not been near the bench for months, Julie's more important plus sold mums house and looking for a bungalow . However still buying stuff,

                            Set of generic pe sets for IJN heavy cruisers


                            books








                            And a few kits for the fleet in the attic
                            Julie bought me this as a surprise to say thanks. Was annoyed as there's no need whatsoever.



                            and this beast, love the cardboard packaging



                            Sold or donated all my StuG stuff and military books, so only got naval books.
