Why do we do things like this to ourselves??????? (That's a UK 5p)

[AlanG]

Totally understand where you're coming from Karl. They are fiddly as #$&* but they certainly look the part when complete

[Allen Dewire]

Why Karl???....Because we love our hobby and love a challenge even more....Like Alan said, they do look great in the pit...........

[Dave Ward]

The Post Office called off their strike in respect for HRH, and so I had an unexpected delivery:

Unopened box ebay auction < £12!


Also from ebay - a best offer got this - not cheap, but I decided to treat myself!

Very nice Allen,
You're bang on,it IS "an oldie but a goodie".... I had one in the stash but sold it a few years back when trying to "do the right thing" and thin said stash out......
..... Regretted it many a time since

[Allen Dewire]

Thanks Andy...I need to thin the stash too, by about 40-50 kits...Then finish about 25 WIP to get somewhere with it!!!.......

From ebay, 2 for < £10 - from China, about 2 weeks, not bad

Amazing place isn't it. (Hannants, not Heathrow) I've only been there once, earlier this years and it's a wall to wall modellers paradise.

It was the Hendon shop, I should been clearer.

But the postman rang at 10:00 this morning and handed me a large box,


No, it's not a coffee machine...It was from a seller on evilbay who had 3 Panther kits for sale in one lot. Now you know I love my kitty's, so I got up a gawd dark thirty on Thursday, had a fit of crazy and threw a stupid bid on it....And won the lot. He also had written that maybe some of the tracks could be missing. No probs, as I have enough Friuls for them.......Anyway, here's what was in the box,




Upon inspecting each one, there was nothing missing at all. 100% complete kits in each box. Nice!!!......Being retired is getting rather expensive lately and my building of kits isn't getting any faster either, but for under €115 delivered (in 2 days) I ain't complaining at all, but the wallet sure is...........MATRON, MATRON!!!...WHERE YOU AT???....................................

Just like 'upper', never around when needed and underfoot when not.

Allen, 3 full interior kitties on the home threshold for just 115€! That's what I call a bargain! :money-face:
I have to keep myself at safe distance from evilbay or .... well, you know what I mean, spirit is strong but the wallet locker is weak and the stash cannot take the upper hand, SWMBO has it! :tongue-out2:
I guess those three are already merrily purring in your stash. :smiling:
