Yep, should have…..These would be a bit big Bob, really heavy as well. They had side plates that were made from one inch steel and were held together by bolts of around one and a quarter inches in diameter, three each side of a tread

Good morning all

So hope you had a good day yesterday. My wife and I don't go mad at Christmas, so more bits and pieces for us.

General gubbins.......mostly from the kids....




Modelling gubbins......

• Thanks to our very own Steve Jones for advise on oil paints...my first exploration into this type of paint. I had been looking at Abteilung 502 oils but noticed Steve using these and so sent him a PM. I managed to find these at a very good price.....a third cheaper for almost twice as much as Abteilung. Thanks again Steve!!!!
• The book is a facsimile reprint of a 1946 book and very nicely done too. 2nd Northants Yeomanry were the Armoured Recce Regiment for Junior's 11th Armoured Division, hence the subject matter.
• The AB nozzle and needle are 0.3mm to fit my existing 0.4mm Sparmax, as a way of giving me something a bit finer without buying a whole new AB. My other AB is 0.2mm for really fine work, so now I have a nice range of needle sizes.

Bob....

We do a similar thing......just give each other lists of what we like and see what turns up.

Also, and I'm not trying to picky, but is your camera ok??? All of your recent posts have been a bit blurry....have you got a finger print on the lens??

No Andrew, I think Bob's just seasick from all the floaty things he got and can't hold the camera steady!!!!

Pooh on the poop deck eh, who’d a thunk it :tongue-out3: Nice haul of dreads and battle cruisers as well.

[Nicko]

This is a bit scary for me - haven't built a floaty thing in the past forty years or so.



A Christmas present from my daughter so will be put at the front of the build queue rather than going into the stash...
