    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

          and some Plexiglas, brass and aluminum parts that could be used as hobby tools.

          They all come from a shop that has to close because of COVID related financial troubles. Someone, maybe, recalls my "500€ kit": they made the base.
          My wife and me have been helping the owners in clearing their shop and workshop as they have to leave it by the end of the month. There are 30 years of work sediments to remove, meaning some cubic meters of Plexiglas, Perspex, aluminum and PVC slates and scraps. It's a sad task.

                I’ve got Zuron 2175 B track cutters and find them excellent as well. Ideal for heavy duty sprue cutting. I actually bought mine for track cutting back in my railway days. Must have had them for around thirty years now and they are still going strong.

                            My trigger finger has been at it again.......Dang evilbay, but I did get 2 kits I have always wanted plus one that just looked cool............

                            The recovery set is for my Famo and I've been after it for a long time. The MB kit just looked cool and has a mo'cycle too. The other kit I've always wanted was this,

                            Dragon re-boxed this and the title is a bit misleading. You get the 4 figs, tables, tools and folding stool, but you get 2 complete Maybach engines for the Sd.Kfz. 250. The box says engine, but should say engines......In my defense, I have 3 kits in evilbay for sale..........

                            Prost
