Items you have bought and at the time thought they were a good idea - but never used.

[Guest]

Dave a very poor idea from.

of all the scatters I've got it never been used, and never will be. Why I'm keeping it heavens knows.

I have one of those bottles from Noch, you put the grass in and shake it, then the grass is supposed to come out and stand up, so I bought one of those electric ones off evilbay, the only thing that stood up was my hair. Now just sprinkle the grass on and turn the base over and let gravity have at it....

Funny looking at these bits you lot have, I've got some of them and until this page I'd forgotten I had them, bit of nostalgia.

Amazing at what can un-fog the mind...

I had to think about this for a while as most items that I buy are very useful and get used. I did remember that I had few that were pretty much a waste of time and money though...….


I bought this 3 or more years ago and I never used it. Lent it to a friend and he did. Too many RPMs for plastic, 5,000 - 20,000 with no chance for a result. Aldi, for €29,95, so I can't complain too much….I grabbed these to use for working with plastic sheet and scratch building projects,


I haven't used them fully yet, but they work well and for €2,99 from Lidl, I'll hang on to them for later....Next is something I whipped up at work after seeing the price of indy track link assembly tools,


It's a bit rough, but it does work good. The cost was zip, null, nada and I never used it as it's worthless to assemble Friul metal tracks….

The last one was a total waste of a bundle of cash and using it to remove tiny pieces from the sprue's was a huge disaster on all counts and fingers,


And it didn' come with a box of band aids for the price either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do have other things that I haven't used yet, but know I will down the line. They weren't expensive or a waste of money really……………….

Do the many, many kits I have bought which I won't even attempt (for a variety of reasons) count?

Don't think so Dave, when Mike and I were talking it was just about tools, though that would make a great thread in its self. Why don't you start one please, that could run for years:smiling3:

[Guest]

I wondered the same as Dave. Surely the stash counts?

The only things I bought that I very rarely use are a load of enamels and humbrol acrylics I bought when I started again and had never heard of vallejo!

Dude I bought the Dremel one , apart from looking at it that's as far as I have got, can't fit a very small drill in the chuck, so it will sit under the bench . That disc cutter is a great tool, put in on Evil bay , bet you get your money back .

I wouldn’t consider those a waste of money, as they’re good paints. Now if you had a bunch of LifeColor bottles, that would have been a purchase you’d not use a lot. I speak from experience.
