Hi Everyone.

Just returned after my second part of my tour of all things south of the M4. If you remember we talked about supporting your local model shops when on holiday and Tim suggested Frome Model Shop. So after a long hike up the steep cobblestones I was rewarded with a wonderful shop full of everything you could hope for. The stuff they didnt have they ordered in and will post out to me once in. Fantastic service



I also popped into Dunks Model Shop at Trowbridge. This place was rammed with kits and a few accessories.



We also went to a car boot while driving around and I finally got a mini vice for the bench and some more wire



Now I always tell myself not to buy any more books as the house is rammed with them but I coudnt resist as I do like my maps



Finally today postie sent through my prize winning kit from John Paulding as my reward for winning Best in Show at this years MAFVA Online Competition.



Happy modelling everyone

Glad you enjoyed the Frome shop Steve. To be honest it had about three times that stock about five years ago, but has built up its online business since I think. Still a great shop though. I took a visit to the Midsommer Norton one and thought it quite good. Bit of a cross country drag though so I’ll probably stick with Frome for most things.
Nice one on the MAFVA prize by the way!

Thats very kind of you to say Steve. Many thanks

Good Job Stevie!!! It's amazing what you can build living in a Plymouth. Kudos Bro...

With so much hype over kits with full interiors, I decided to find out what the noise was all about and snagged this off evilbay for €35,08,



It's a box loaded with over 60 sprues, 2 etch frets and some really tiny decals on the sheet,



I also found these 4 puppys, all from the same seller and got away cheap in the bids,



The crate and box set also has resin stuff, including decals, from Verlinden in it too. Really happy for €27 delivered....This hit work a bit over 2 weeks ago and again I had to see it for myself as there was a discussion on here earlier about the really old ESCI figures that are included. Again, a real bargain off evilbay for €26,99 delivered,



I have the old RSO kit and this one looks a bit better for wear, tear and molding. The figures included look like this (not the best pics),





Somehow they remind me of the old Tamiya figs with their facial expressions and poses. All in all, they look like they have survived pretty well after all these years. The molding isn't really as bad as I had thought it would be....

Now on a side note....Since I have purchased these things, I have sold 7 full kits out of the stash. I am being a good boy and the buy vs. sell ratio ain't too shabby either..........I deserve a cold one!!!!

Prost
