Yeah,
I inject in my upper legs in the morning & in my stomach at night, most times you can barely feel it, but on the odd occasion, it hurts ( never sneeze whilst giving an injection! )

you wouldn’t want to use one of those harpoons of yours Alan :loudly-crying:

Harpoon you say?

[Tim Marlow]

I have bloods taken at regular intervals (currently fortnightly ) and always change arms. Most of the time it’s fine and painless, but sometimes I get bruised….the cannula seems to be about that size Alan….but it’s probably about twenty gauge…..

Drill a hole in the bench then…you can’t fill up the space, the detritus will fall through :tongue-out3:

Right Tim............that would be a "Feed Chute" for the Carpet Monster!!

John,
you may find it useful, but I found the nozzle hopeless - I either apply it with with a customised cut down lolly stick, or my finger!

Dave I could forsee problems with the needles when trying to use the filler, suppose it's trail and error to get the mix the right constituency. If it doesn't work at least I can use them for glue . Thanks for the warning .

A good ebay auction purchase - £14.20 delivered!

None of the marking variants are pre-war, so I also got a Montex Supermask set

73 or 87 Squadron.

Since the Brexit they changed some import-rules over here, we now have to pay 22€ extra taxes (18,47 GBP) for every item delivered from the UK, US or China, so most of my 'ebay-shopping-days' are over...

I was able to get these for a good price from a local (2nd hand) seller ;


And found some more books as well


Looking forward to build some of those 1/48 models, many ideas, not so many time :smiling5:...
Cheers, Steven

Nice haul Steven. Like you, so many ideas and no time (yet) too. Have you looked in evilbay here in Germany? You can find some super deals and porto is about €8,00 to you. And no VAT tax either.

I snagged this up for a € tenner delivered,



No more probs making antennas and the gens are cool too. The next one, I can only say..........Ho!!! Ho!!! Ho!!!!............

Why does Brexit affect the price you pay for shipments from the US or China?

It's just politics, with the UK out of the EU they adapted new vat rules, and this changed for US and China as well. Even for an item like 0,50GBP you have to pay an extra 22€ at the postoffice or it's returned. It's crazy, just like our government. Cheers Steven

Why does Brexit affect the price you pay for shipments from the US or China?

Not directly, but it used to be that import duties and VAT were not charged on things valued at under about €20 (I think the exact limit varied per country). Due to a recent change in regulations, however nothing is exempted anymore. The reason for it is, basically, protectionism of the EU internal market and its small retailers against overly cheap webshops in places like, oh, China. Brexit means that orders from the UK are now, of course, also abroad to us here in the EU, so the rules apply to webshops there as well.

The €22 Steven refers to sounds like it includes an administration fee charged by the delivery company to clear items through customs, and that amount varies depending on the company. But as you, as the recipient, have pretty much no control over which company is used, it’s basically a crap shoot how much you may be charged on an order from outside the EU.

Which is part of why I ordered the following from inside the EU:

(Another reason being that the shop I got it from, actually had all of the stuff I wanted to buy, unlike a few others I looked at first ) The little box with the camouflage print contains a grille for the Sd.Kfz 7 by Panzer Art, as I intend to build my Dragon kit of that in the near future — hence the books Also track burnishing solution for my Type 3 Chi-Nu’s Friul tracks, Italian jerrycans for a Sahariana model I intend to build someday and the British accessory set as it includes a Vickers Model K gun to mount on my Weasel.

My son bought me a "ugears" kit for my birthday. This is my third kit if this type. Cracking kits. Push out the parts and press together. A pleasant change from the plastic.

Steven I've bought from Germany and Poland ,although there is vat there is no customs duty under I seem to thing £120.
Sure I paid vat before on stuff when we were still in the EU .
