Amt enterprise 1/570 and lighting kit. I thought I would try a smaller scale for once

[Steve-the-Duck]

Just got my figures through from 3djson on eBay, after Tony (Yak face) recommended the printer. All 28 mm / 1/56thn (take your pick)

Polish drivers in caps

French tankies at briefing

British tankies in berets (which won't take too much to make them early war or Western Desert)

VERY NICE, do they do any 1/48 seated pilots though?! :thinking:

My name is Andrew……

I have a problem with kit acquisitions……I really do…..

……that said though, I do have a very good reasons for the below acquisitions from the past few weeks:

• Prices ranging from good to outstanding.
• An unscrupulous seller offering discounts – completely irresponsible if you ask me!
• Sentimental reasons.
• Oh and a VERY nice annual bonus!

As you will see, I have been a VERY naughty boy......

Ok...so here goes……



My Jagdpanther pigment attempts showed that I need a better selection of brown pigments…






I know you can find information about these online but I do like a book….





A ‘few’ metal barrels to go with what follows, with more on the way!!





Thanks to a seller offering £5 in-app purchase discount, 25% off, at £15 for the pair.





Thanks to the same seller offering two discounts - 25% off Airfix kits and another £5 in-app purchase - these two were over 40% cheaper than their usual combined price, at only £10 for the pair. What’s not to like!?!?!?








The next set of kits were from a range of sellers….most new but some second-hand auction wins…and all were much cheaper delivered than the manufacturers RRP plus their usual P&P charge. Two also have sentimental value, as you will see…..


This new kit was 15% cheaper delivered than from the manufacturer…





This new kit was over 20% cheaper delivered…..





This was also new and just over 30% cheaper….





This was a very low second-hand eBay auction bid win and was 50% cheaper than the official RRP+P&P






These next two have real sentimental value for me, as I personally helped both of them come into existence when I supported PSC’s Kickstarter campaign for them.

It started with the 25pdrs & Morris tows, with a whole range of follow-on stretch goals. The Sexton was the ultimate stretch goal.


This kit was an eBay auction win. Whilst it was only 20% cheaper than RRP plus delivery, they are very popular and like hens teeth at the best of times – and at the moment not even the manufacturer has any.






And finally these, 30% cheaper that the manufacturer’s price…..






And, most importantly, Easter brought some chocolate!

Might be of interest to the figure painters, this is a brand new mob released by WH that I had on pre order. I really liked the look as they’re sort of a steam punk/ Victorian diving suit look. Really nice little multi part figures.

My haul from the Hinckley show.

I turn my back for five minutes and the Chit chat goes mental.

[Allen Dewire]

Yeah, and I hate Easter Sales where you look for the 'Eier' and get a nice discount!!!...BUT,


The Austin kit came in @ €16.60 and I couldn't resist...


Gonna give the AK stuff a try. Some good scratchy is in the cards...And,


And you thought Mirage only made cheap plastic kits. Complete 3D resin printed and no arms to attach. You also get 2 clear printed lenses for the cameras. Now, removing all the 3D supports is gonna be really fun!!!...

Prost

Indeed it is. There was a lot of help going on between Heller and Airfix at one point. I think that the Revell one might be as well but not sure.
Love that Dennis. How the heck did you score that?
