Latest Acquisitions (2021)

[Dave Ward]

Just arrived...........................

Not to get too excited - it's a basket case! Ebay purchase - essentially a box of bits, already started ( by a 3 year old with a hot glue gun? ). Parts seem to be there, but will require a bleach bath to remove the horrible chrome, and careful disassembly to see if the parts are useable.
Pristine models are expensive - £25 ( + p&p upwards ), so this for a tenner was worth a punt.....

Tired of bending grab handles from wire using pliers, I’ve invested in a bending tool, and while I was ordering there anyway, I decided to buy some punches:

These are for making domed rivets — I already have a regular punch-and-die set from RP Toolz, so rather than buy a third full set I just ordered five “spare” ones, 0.6 through 1.0 mm, that I intend to use with the die I have.

I've been using Vallejo-primer on all my models without serious issues,
However, since quite a lot of people have problems with Vallejo-primer I really want to test out some other (beter?) primers.
So I've ordered some Mig 'One shot' bottles to play with - Hoping for the best :thumb2:

Cheers,
Steven

Bought this one of Facebook marketplace, the want to build all panther variants has reignited... swmbo says its a tank, you already have one like that!... yes I do but not this one! :smiling: , I'm not going down the route of having to explain myself and all the variants (I can say that, she's not about :tears-of-joy

After a conflab with the good Mr Race I've ordered a few sheets of foamboard to have a crack at some modest buildings. A couple of his preferred Kappa type that can be peeled & carved, and some cheaper stuff for general use.

Big sheets though! :surprised:

...so the 'not adding to the stash' continues...



I've been after one of these for a while and immediately after Christmas they were going for silly money, however this one was a relatively reasonable price and I'm really pleased to have grabbed it.

Hopefully better tracks for my 1946 Sherman:

Plus some paints, though in retrospect I’m not sure the IDF green is the right colour for my M-51 Sherman after all …
