Latest Acquisitions (2025)

[Jim R]

That light looks superb Tim. Optimised for full spectrum and dimmable. Worth the money for sure.

So today i visited the only model shop within 30 miles of me........i was lookung for a few things in particular......had none of them!.......but wasnt going to leave empty handed and since i like old kits that noah first did i picked this up cos it was silly cheap

Some russian manufactuer called iom-kit but it was originally a Frog kit from back in the 70s......its been repopped by about a dozen russian companies since.....but its another trip down memory lane for me........back then when i was a nipper the village post office sold airfix and the newsagent sold frog and then matchbox

Certainly seems it so far Jim. Better than my meagre talent anyway ????

Latest arrivals at Geoffers Towers

A much needed jig, it will be very useful when I’m applying transfers or weathering.

I’m particularly pleased with the P-40 as it has the original Cartogaph Decals rather than the new (Eduard style) ones.

Geoff.

I have one of those plane jigs, works well, apart from the stick on rubber pads, that keep unsticking....may have to superglue them down.

[adt70hk]

Nice one Geoff. I pulled the trigger on the same Blenheim IV yesterday. £5 off too thanks to a voucher

[BattleshipBob]

Some books
also got the hard to find French battleships up to 1914, which includes the bonkers pre dreadnoughts plus the destroyer books in the post, all for good prices.

Another bargain kit.

[LeytonO]

I just bought myself another Airbrush, this one is an Iwata HP-CH with a 0.3 needle
Got it on Ebay with a hose and some paints, much to my surprise I was the only bidder.

[PaulTRose]

Thanks to amazon these just arrived
i was determined to not do a hurrispit109 for the BoB GB.......both qualify......and if i dont do the Defiant i can use it for the 'paint it black' GB as it can be done as a night fighter

[pjgtech]

Just delivered via Amazon, some more figures, German Infantry at rest.
I'm getting quite a collection of various figures now...
Will have to decide which ones I might use for the upcoming PBI GB....

[PaulTRose]

Oh forgot.....went to buy a birthday card and the shop had some wooden kits in.....so got one of these....pre coloured sunflower.....at least i wont need to remember to water it lol

[adt70hk]

This little beauty just got dropped off by the postman - safely made it all the way from Japan!

I have another version of this kit in the stash. They are supposed to be top-notch!

[Tim Marlow]

Just having a catch-up Tim. That looks really nice. Especially like the idea of having two adjustable arms - a very neat idea!

It’s very good at cutting out shadows on the workpiece as a result ????

Yes, it looks very nice in the box and I'm looking forward to building it. But first I have to finish a couple of other projects.....

These are brilliant! I made sets earlier - really sums up the PBI!

[pjgtech]

Yep, just trying to think up a good little Dio for them, plus have a few other military figure sets, all 1/35, so I have a few options....

[LeytonO]

Splashed out on this overpriced Iwata tool kit, please feel free to say you must be bonkers or something similar.
Made a few quid unexpectedly on Ebay for something I thought would be lucky to make a tenner.
I digress, unbeknown to me there is a different size air valve removal tool required for the Eclipse range.
So I thought all these expensive airbrushes and i'm messing about with cheap, inferior quality and in some cases modified tools.

[OldWalrus]

If it saves you damaging an airbrush just once you will probably recoup the outlay.

[pjgtech]

Nice, you can never have too many tools...... 8-)
