Latest Acquisitions (2023)

[Guest]

Not really too much cash spent Dude 2! About the same as in Lingen, last March. The owners from many company's were there and easy to talk to. They are open to feedback and it helps them improve their products. MIG does a seminar at the SMC every year too. He's a normal guy and puts his jeans on the same way we do everyday. They probably just cost more than ours....

Prost

Youngerthanme,
So it is now bread and water for the rest of the year, a tin of soup behind a picture of a Xmas dinner....

New additions to the fold...
Had an offer by email from a regular retailer 2/3 off :surprised: So in future will look at all emails and not just delete automatically.... £45... from £145..



Also have been looking towards a future build...



Plus a few goodies to go into the build....



Lots of brass and resin for both the interior and exterior...

Yep, my expensive, must have, gotta have, will do the job you want, is now sitting on a shelf in the shed. Now back to using fingers to place the grass and turn the base upside down for a minute or two so the grass goes verticle - sounds long-winded but once you get going it takes as much time as messing about with the dispenser.
And beware of the cheap ones - did not earth it right and got a jolt up the arm - still it got the heart working again.....

Oh, you earthed it right buddy….you just managed to touch both poles at once…..if you’d held a lightbulb in your teeth you could’ve got it to light up LOL…..

All my deltic extras have just been dropped off.
Incudes etched plates full set for decals and flush glazed windows [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1211323[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1211324[/ATTACH]

I was lucky enough to work on one of the preserved Deltics for over 10 years, even had a drive

My victim for a new year build. My second Scania but this one will be converted to right hand drive and a different colour scheme

You will soon be getting a name you keep building all theses Scania's.

In a case like this Jakko, I would take a long hard look at the AA offering and then the kit. I have their 432 and then took a look at the Takom kit - the AA 432 is now retired somewhere.

I’ve been thinking that maybe I should put a rack somewhere to store my collection of old-and-not-going-to-be-built kits, which most likely will include the Accurate Armour ones I have

Good afternoon all

So I went with my club to a show in Letchworth yesterday (less than an hour from home), had a great time and end up coming back with this haul.

I needed some new steel rules, hence them.

The Harrier was yet another lucky-dip win....that's three in only two shows!!

And I was practically forced to buy the Tempest V. It was for charity and so it would have been most impolite not to support them!

As many UK members will know, there is a UK charity that keeps the only flying Bristol Blenheim in the world in the air (blenheimsociety.com/). They have a second-hand/nearly new kit stall that goes to many of the shows and our club secretary always buys a kit to support them. I decided to do the same and in the end plumped for the Tempest.

It’s a 2022 tooling, so brand new and so should be good. As you can see it was only £10 and the next cheapest I could find online delivered was for £12…..so a win for me as well as the charity!!
