Latest Acquisitions (2025)

[Neil]

Most of them have very little damage, but enough not to send them out as perfect.

Very much appreciated nonetheless sir

Latest charity shop find. Unfortunately it's missing all the z tune options. Front bumper wheels brakes and tyres are missing. Was for sale at £15. But when I pointed all of this out. And tbh I kinda fibbed by saying the other wheels etc won't fit properly. I got if for £6. Think I may have another set of wheels that may fit with some fettling

My homage to Oktoberfest, a bargainous £26.99 for ten 500ml bottles of fine beer.

One in from the right has now been enjoyed.

A bit more on topic now, this set came today.
Got loads of ideas for it, just hope they can be translated into something tangible.
Ordered some replacement wheels and tyres which will hopefully come in the near future

Very common in US. Commercials had them populated with cute rodents driving to pop music. Weird stuff, didn't see the attraction.

Couple of recent acquisitions....
A little model haul from Temu, including:
Two small 1/35 resin figure sets.
Two (mini) super glue CA fine applicators.
A set of six sanding sticks various grades.
A set of draughtsman pens.

And from the St Ives (Brampton) Model Show yesterday....
I was just looking for something different, did not really know what, then I saw this and had to have it, don't know why, I just did....Lol!


Plus I got a set of three moss textures, light green, dark green and a sort of yellow beige one too.

[LeytonO]

I saw this at the show or possibly one very similar, it was at the end of one aisle
Like these more unusual subjects myself, a V2 model caught my eye too.
Even in 1/72 I bet it will be a fair size once its built

I bought a pack of those clips on sticks a few months ago....... They are excellent..... I got a flat bit if wood and drilled holes in it like a cribbage board to stand them in

Does any one still play cribbage?

Not in years, used to play during lunch break w/some old Navy guys. They were very sharp & fast thinkers, stole many pegs from me.

Did you post an on-going build using these? Pretty sure I saw someone had and that’s where I got the idea for them - and the vice ti be honest.
