Latest Acquisitions (2022)

[David Lovell]

Andrew they well look the part amazing what can be done now ,I've noticed many manufacturers now including 3D printed parts tools track links etc personally exciting times ahead. The nightshift build was interesting it shows just what can be done and what is to come ,I think there only beginning to scratch the surface at some point it will become very cost effective ,no moulds to produce and store after the initial production ,all thats needed are a few savvy guys with the measurements scan data etc and bingo you can produce to demand at the press of a button. There are a lot of excellent 72nd resin manufacturers in the eastern block regions cant wait to see what they can come up with. But and I'm sure most will agree it has to match pennies in pocket if that isn't there then I'm quite happy to be a second class citizen with my relatively cheap 72nd plastic kits.
Oh and scrub the girls drinks I'll stick with a nice bottle of Nobb Creek or Wild Turkey over ice and just a tiny dash of coke with mine.

A mate of mine was into punk in a big way and I remember him mentioning the Macc Lads..... Can only assume No Sheep 'till Buxton is a play on words of the Stiff Little Fingers track / album (can't remember which) No Sleep til Belfast (or vice versa)..... And yes I have seen SLF in concert a few times in the early 90s..... At the Brixton academy almost always on st. Patrick's night..... Absolute carnage but great gigs.....I still listen to their albums even now when the fancy takes me !

“No sleep til xxxx“ was a standard early eighties comment Andrew, used on several live album titles. The first (I think) was 1981 Motörhead’s “No sleep ‘til Hammersmith”. The phrase was made famous/popular by the beastie boys “No sleep ‘til Brooklyn“, which is probably the blueprint for the play on words here.
SLF still tour, by the way……they are going around again in the autumn.

I see!!! I was a bit too young; I was still at junior school!!! In 1981!!!!

It's funny you should say about SLF....I checked only a matter of weeks ago and could see they were still touring!!

I'm very impressed with your Ebay bargain hunting skills Dave. I can never find anything I want at a cheap price.

Mike,
at the moment, I'm laid up - no benchtime, so I have time to explore the ins & outs of ebay - the lots where sellers don't know what they have got, or where they can't spell, or just can't express themselves! Just a matter of patience, time and a big chunk of luck!

Yep,It`s yet ANOTHER King Tiger!!:flushed:.......
..... However,I`ve never done one of these before,and whilst at Tankfest a few weeks back,Rach saw their restored one and thought it was fantastic.When i agreed,and said that i didn`t have one in the stash,she announced it was time to address that particular vacancy!! :money-face:....
Lo and behold,this arrived from Jadlam yesterday:thumb2:


Got a few builds to finish first,but i`m looking forward to tackling it, probably start it alongside my upcoming Mossie GB entry. I`m under orders to do it soon!!

ALL substituted with no objection from me Steve :smiling3: ...
... Welcome to the Stone age !!

[Airborne01]

1981? Now I know I'm middle-aged - I'd done two years in the MN and 16 years in the Mob then! My, how time flies!

Box slipped quietly through my letterbox ( I didn't even hear it arrive! )
An ebay buy it now purchase - my first all 3-D printed models..........................

Two 1/350 'S' boats - rather heavy base plates - slightly different


1/350 RN SGB ( Grey Goose Class ) These boats had various armament fits, I don't know which this is yet. No drawings, just the resin - I'll need to do a bit of research for them all.
Got these as separate lots from same seller - combined delivery price £14.
