Wow guys, it looks like there will be a lot of paint slinging going on in the future. Nice stuff...

Dave, inquiring minds want to know if you have the complete Japanese Navy in the stash yet. Looks like it....

I've been a pretty good boy of late. Grabbed a few kits in the past 2 weeks off evilbay. Two for under €20, delivered and one for under €30, delivered...These two for under,


and this one, the rolling bathtub (fahrende badewanne in German),

Then this one for under €30,


It's a paper panzer of the 38t, with a Pz. IV turret and redesigned hull, but the 8.8 PAW 600 was an actual weapon, even if it never made it into regular production.......

Still short of one or two! Some I think will never resurface............... the Katori I got today had one of the tiny tubes of Japanese glue & the whole thing smelled like an abandoned bookshop - it had a Riko sticker on the side - at least 30 years old, I reckon. It also had a leaflet with all the 1/700 ships - at least 70.............

Are there class ships you can modify to fill those gaps Dave?

The ones which are difficult to find are the weird ones, like the seaplane carriers ( IJN Chitose ) that eventually were converted to proper aircraft carriers, but I have a lot of patience - but scarcity pushes those prices up...............

Uhh!!!.......Just needing some Ca and de-bonder for my halftrack build, I found my online hobby shop had raised its postage. Now not being a real Pfenning pincher, I looked around for some stuff to add to my basket to make the postage worthwhile. I must have had an intense brain fart (sound familiar) and in the end, got free postage out of it....Oh lawdy!!!.......


Yea, got my CA and stuff, but then stumbled across these,



Cheaper than what MBK (Das Werk's parent firm) sells them for. The 2cm was only a prototype and it supposably sits in a Moscow Museum today.......Upon further looking around on Sockel's site, I found this beauty at a totally killer price,


Regularly €113.35 (from Brach Italy, €106.26)........I stole it for €50 and it was the last piece in stock!!!......

I've gotta stop this buying disease, so please send Matron immediately, with a shot to cure me!!!!!!!!!!...............
