From the postman today....

This arrived in the post today! I've made most of the major brands of 251's over the years and this looks streets ahead of them all in detail and quality....
Lol, please don't comment on dimension issues - I'm not a fastidious rivet counter, and I really don't care about a model being 2mm longer or shorter than it should be to be totally accurate - if it looks good and is a fair representation, I'm happy!!!

I'm with you on that one Darren, unless it looks hopelessly wrong than I can live with minor discrepancies!

Latest arrivals from the shop with a couple of nice freebies, cheers John
I want to have a play with Eduards “improved” decals to see how they perform. I’ve read some bad things but also some good things about them so I decided to try them myself

Had a couple of deliveries, bits and bobs....
New paint brush, some German field grey (running low!) and some "stowage" bits for 1/72 scale (as I am thinking of going back to a some of my earlier 1/72 tanks and revamping them a bit).
Then some more new model figures, as I quite like doing 1:35 figures now....
Some of these may be candidates for the upcoming Poor Bloody Infantry GB, we'll see....
Then I also got some animal figures, used a small puppy dog in my last diorama, and I think the addition of an animal (or two) can really help the dio to stand out, add an extra dimension, etc.... So have a few here to choose from at some point.
And lastly a bridge/checkpoint, tower, barrier, etc, which also may or may not form part of the upcoming PBI GB, as a diorama, thinking about using some parts of the included model set, but not all.

There's a definite PBI in there somewhere mate!

Saw this panel line pen on Barry's thread. He seemed to like it. There are other favourable reviews as well.
Great service as always from John at the SMS. And a free coaster to go on the bench for that modelling necessity - a cup of tea!

OK chaps, so some purchases from the past week or so.
The dental brushes are for cleaning the AB, after some personal recommendations and have already proved their usefulness.....I see Barbatos Rex also reviewed them recently too.
Masks for recent acquisitions.
The scenery stuff was 40% off thanks to some loyalty points.
And another item from the stash....the Blenheim was an absolutely necessary purchase, as I realised I don't have one - how careless of me
- and was 20% off an already very good price thanks to a discount code, which meant most of the mask costs were covered.
ACW as usual

Coming home today and passed a model shops so could not resist having a browse....came home with these....
I seem to be building up a vast supply of 1/35 figures....
And some more 1/35 vehicles....
And then some more "spares" for diorama builds....

Then when I got home these had been delivered....
Some fine gardening plastic wrapped twine, ideal for small scale rope, tie downs, balcony wires/guarding, etc...
And some more paint, did not have any of xf79, so added some to the collection...
There was a strange box, and when I opened it found this....
I have found that when I use Tamiya fine surfacer primer, (aerosol) which I sometimes use, and it stinks out my study, and probably not good to breathe in, so decided to get one of these just for that, gonna use it in the garage, but seems to have plenty of "suck", (Oo-er Missus!)Comment

I reckon the first one of these books might come in handy given your army of WW2 figures.

Ok chaps so some more essential purchases at today's Hinkley show and as you can see normal service has been resumed, with very good prices literally forcing me to buy these kits.
As you will see one is a bit of a departure from my usual theme!
ACW as usual.

----------------------------
These two were only £10 each when £16+ delivered is the norm.
This though in my opinion was an absolute steal....and as you can see a departure from my usual theme. The cheapest I can find online to buy now delivered is £48, although there are a couple of recent eBay sales in the low £40s but that's as low as I could find. This cost me £30 and I judging by the weight is chocked full of plastic - I don't ever recall a kit feeling this heavy....oh and it is still sealed!

From the postman today....
An eBay special, some US soldiers at rest....
And also a package from our very own SMS, with a couple of freebies, (thanx John!)
Some more figures, this time German soldiers at rest, and a new XF79 (forgot I ordered this as I also picked one up form a model shop at the weekend, Doh!) and some "Water" liquid stuff, gonna give it a try at some point. And lastly a brick/paviour type roller for imprinting a pattern onto putty, plaster, etc.

Latest acquisitions for me....
Some mud type paste and some fine type filler.... both for dio ground works, shaping, etc, filling, etc.
Then I saw these on Fleabay and could not resist, some 1:35 scale maps and other period docs....
And lastly today, saw a nice Dragon figure set I've never seen before, so had to buy it, US troops in Nam.....
Perfect fodder for a Dio at some point, hmmm, thinking about it, I've never done "Jungle" before, so that will be interesting!
