I have two ancients armies from Baccus, unfortunately not getting much use these days.

Possibility to make some small dioramas with them?

Not the based armies, but maybe some of the left overs, there's a bag of them somewhere. Some baggage and camp elements too.

I've always liked em.... Although I do think £25 is rather ott !!...
Also,to me,it's surely a stretched,(and bits added to), version of one of my favourite recent aircraft...,...
...namely the Jaguar ?!!...

That’s the other way around Andy. Captain Scarlet pretty much finished its run on TV before the first jaguar prototype flew…..

Postman just dropped this off. Wanted one for a while and this popped up at a really good price. Tatty box but all intact inside. Looks really good and keen to start. May just jump the queue. Nice reference book included

Another eBay "bargain" but again bad decals, I have decals to paint this as a USAAF p-51b but I don't want to so off for replacement decals I go.....

I am starting to wonder just how much we are allowed to actually answer a post with a genuine comment Ian?!!
It seems rather rude for me to just read something that I particularly like,and then ignore the effort that the poster has made by putting it up?!
Otherwise no-one will bother posting stuff up at all?!!...
Maybe just my opinion,but it seems it's getting a little Draconian to me?!!

Andy. This is the only thread that we have asked that the chit chat be keep down. A comment saying you like, or something is one thing, when two or three start holding a conversation in the thread, I think that that is being rude to the OP of the thread that has asked that the chat is kept down to a minimum.

From the St Ives show today:

Iwata Revolution CR for £25. Looks to be in good condition but needs a thorough clean.
The same seller had a box of bits for £1 per item, from which I grabbed New bottles of Microsol and Set, some Mig extra thin cement, a full bottle of Formula 560 canopy glue, and some CA remover.
These were from another seller:

Air brush is a bargain. Should be fine but if it needed new seals or needle/nozzle set you'd not be out of pocket.

[Tim Marlow]

Great set of purchases Peter. You’ve definitely got an eye for a bargain.

Early postie................

An ebay purchase, £14 delivered. I do have another Hasegawa model of this class of cruiser ( Tenryu )- but that is 1973 tooling - this is 2015 & much much better.

Peach pink oil colour - need a very small bit for highlighting the dark skin on my 'Origins' figures

Trouble is that I can't resist buying them Tim!

Richard,
Looking at the instructions & the way the sprues are laid out, it looks very much like a Pit-Road model. but Scalemates says all Hasegawa
