Rock on Andy. They look really cool. Must be fun to take those bikes around a corner though, no chance of leaning the bike with those tyres.....

I've done a couple before. One by airfix and one by revell. Unfortunately they got damaged in a house move. Both turned out well with no real issues. I'm a bit better at building now so hopefully should have a good end result. I've learnt to take my time.

Thanks for the info Paul. I've got an Airfix one too but still building up the courage to have a go at it have only done three planes in the last 35 years.

Yours

Good morning all

So no kits for me this Christmas as I really do have enough, as my ever suffering wife has been telling me recently. But I use my Christmas list to replenish a few things and stock up on some new bits and pieces, including an LED light strip for my spray booth.

The stowage is for North Africa vignette and was a bought using money my mum gave me Christmas.

The book is not a Christmas present but more about that later....

Nice stuff. Good to see Mel has finally pushed the book over the line as well.

Indeed Tim. It's been well worth the wait from what I've read so far. I'll do a mini review at some point.

Cashed in Amazon moggeling token for this....



Quite a lot more in the box than the Tamiya 223 I’m currently building, and has some interior details too :thumb2:
This may jump the queue for the bench :thinking:

Inspired by someone else’s post on here a few months ago (sorry, I forget who it was ) I purchased an adhesive LED strip for my spray booth:

This from Amazon, though I must say it was slightly misleading, as it advertised a length of 2 metres. Sure, the cord is about that long, but the LED strip itself is only 28 cm. Still, as it cost me about the same including a USB adapter (bought separately) as I see just the strips advertised elsewhere, I’m not overly disappointed.

Complain to Amazon, you'll probably get a refund.

I’m not the complaining kind unless it really doesn’t fulfill its supposed purpose, so I probably won’t do that

Well, it's not "as described".

I passed this box a few times at the supermarket this month.
But hey... it's still a bit Christmas right x D, so bought myself a present (4 books - 5 DVD).

Well, it's not "as described".

True, but not by enough that I feel I should really make work of it. However, I did hit the “Report incorrect product information” link to tell Amazon about this.

Most important delivery from Amazon this afternoon here at Race Towers.

Ordered yesterday !

Kacsoo Laboratory Liquid Vortex Mixer




Had a play , wow 4000 rpm . just place the tip of the bottle of paint down on the top and off it goes. Tried a bottle of Vallejo that was at least 4 years old and had been standing.( Not the one in the photo)
Most impressed, with in seconds the true colour filled the bottle, before there was a line of clear liquid with the pigment below.
Thanks To Tim Marlow for the recommendation of using a vortex style mixer. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
