Latest Acquisitions (2023)

Very good haul indeed Rick. You’ll have to learn how to love acrylics now. Loads of Vallejo in there

Right Tim.....I suspect that most of the Vallejo will be useful for my little guys and gals. I'll have to see what I can do with the rest of it.

Get a wet palette to go with them (if you haven’t got one) and your acrylic painting will be transformed…..

Got that covered when I took up the "Marlow" method of figgy painting!

A large carton arrived by APC this morning . Much excitement was caused in the post room.


Took some time to open carefully, 4 D Model Shop kindly let me add to the order when I realised I could get some other stock from them.




Use this where there will be no scribing otherwise it would have been Kappa Board.


Better than Balsa as it doesn't fluff up so much and less likely to snap .


Nice size and will no doubt be cut down for something at some point.

The large size of the XPS FOAM at 50mm thick will be cut into section for use as bases.


Now going to have to find somewhere to store all this !:nerd:

Agree Dzohn, basswood way better. Only modeling wood I use besides Popcycle sticks.

Nice acquisitions Neil. The neck on the Sergeant looks a little weird in the box art though? A bit like his neck is too long and the collar is too small. Sure it won’t be an issue for you though.

Sergeants always have long necks and big feet....
