Latest Acquisitions (2019)

[Guest]

Not sure how much of a DIY-er you are, but making your own spray booth shouldn’t be too hard with, say, some plywood and a generic extraction fan.

Here is the next one for the bench. Made plenty of 1/72s in the past, so I thought I would have a go at a big 'un. Got to finish the 1/32 mosquito first. It will probably be brush painted like the Mossie as I need to save up for a booth for airbrushing as they don't come cheap. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1097962[/ATTACH]

Peej, Try Amazon, bought mine recently from them for £80. Mike.

Just collected my delivery from SMS.



Extra thin to help solve a build issue with my attacker and something to make the delivery worthwhile.

Just got these for my HMS Victory build.

There 1/144 so I hope there not too big.

If they do turn out to be too big, you could always contact the seller (these come from a 3D printing site, right?) and ask if they can make them available at the height you need them. It should only be a matter of them scaling the model accordingly and re-uploading it.

Since I started to focus on sculpting, my latest aquisitions have been pretty boring: putty, glue etc, but here. Is my latest buy. Whihc may be a little. Ore interesting:



Don't laugh, it is a set of lock-picking tools!

I've always been fascinated with all things mechanical and fancied learning to pick locks. i decided to buy these for 2 reasons - learn to pick locks, but as importantly, when I'm bored of picking locks they will make really good sculpting tools. One has already found its way into my tool box!

I've done it!

It's a pyrogravure, for the uninitiated.
Many thanks to Simon T for pointing me in the direction of probably the only supplier in Europe :thumb2: .
It will have to wait for a proper road test, though, because it's looking like I will have to work the weekend:disappointed2:

Back in my misspent youth, a few strokes with a phone book administered by your local patrol sargent would have you peeing blood & singing like a canary with no visible damage. PaulE

What does it say about me that I recognised them from the photo alone, when the explanatory line was still off my screen?

Have you heard of Toool?

[Dave Ward]

Do you think alarm bells start ringing when someone buys lock picking tools? ( or visits the 'Toool' website? ) :rolling::smiling2:

A bit random but my best buddy is a Master Locksmith. He makes a living by picking locks, legally.

Funny, but true, My stepfather was also a locksmith and he worked in a confinement facility for the criminally insane. There was no making mistakes in your work there for sure...

I really don't think that Peter is the criminal type at all. He's just a fantastic Moggeller who loves his hobbies!!!!
