Its not anywhere as fast as CA of course Andrew, but say you were going to glue two pieces of wood it will make a grip with in 5 mins. In our case that's not bad, you can't get away with handling too much but leave it say for 30 mins in a warm temperature with some weight on or clamps and it's good .The strength will increase over night .I try to use it in the late afternoon so the parts can sit over night and be solid .

Thanks John.... Something else to add to the to get list!

I'll just leave this here :tongue-out3:
1/72 Montecassino Abbey 1944 Breaking The Gustav Line - BATTLE SET 6198 Italeri – Scale Model Shop

The only military 'model' on my wishlist, although the Bastogne one looks pretty nice as well. Now if they did an Arnhem one...

Not very exciting but the usual first class service from John at the SMS.

Paint and figures for the dio with my CJ-5. I'm only planning to use the boy. EMA is the best styrene cement - probably :thinking:

Thank you, I'll have a look, but I think I'd want the bridgehead (with ammo dump), hotel and Johnny Frost stood on a balcony!

Treated myself to one of these, I have been using 3.00 reading glasses from Poundland for painting Figures and Busts. heard a lot about the Optivisor so gave it a punt (ordered from Amazon) and wow its amazing, cant believe how sharp and clear the magnified view is :smiling5:. Downside, can see all the little brush errors :angry:

The honest answer is I can't remember but if most of my other builds from that era are anything to go by...... :loudly-crying: :loudly-crying: :tired: :tired: :tired:

From memory my Sherman was truly, truly shocking....I think a lack of patience was my main problem....

Found in my local recycling centre shop got both for £12

[Allen Dewire]

Dang Peter, you are one lucky person. I never find anything in our second hand shops here.....

I did finally get the last piece of the puzzle though. Been trying to find this kit for almost 2 years and at a good price. There are two versions of this kit and I needed the SVP packaging,



In this one you get 2 complete kits. The single kit goes for €39 + postage and I nabbed this one for €60 delivered. After the Russian GB, it's back to my project that's been stalled for too long. I think I'm going to love being retired!!!

And no Bob, there won't be a StuG sitting on them either, just a rocket..........

Prost
