No picture but ....

How many uses can you think of for a simple diamond pattern (about 2mm by 1.5mm) piece of plain lace? Engine and intake covers, mesh fencing and camo netting for a start - yeah?

I got a piece fifteen foot long by ten foot wide today - from the waste bin in a charity shop. Didn't cost me a penny!

No picture here either but I picked up a Crusaider AA today, after seeing one on here a few weeks back. Was it tanktrack??

I only went for a tin of primer...

had some free time this morning so thought id pay a visit in the city, see how close ModelZone is to closing.............good job i did.....4 days left!

going to miss the place, especially their Revell sales once a year

still had quite a lot in at sensible sale prices................i wasnt really looking to buy any kits, already got too many in the stash, i really went looking for paint/weathering stuff/etc but i couldnt pass these up

this is sort of a grail kit for me even tho its readily available, just never got round to buying it!.....ive done the Tamiya Celica rally car, got the Corolla rally car to do and now this.............all three in Castrol scheme

coudnt pass this up for a tenner.......there was an extra 10% off the price on the box.......ive been watching someone light up a DS9 and fancied doing it myself..........got a cheap and easy idea to do it to this one

and i really had to get this!.........ive really been fancying doing something REALLY different.......a single cylinder 4 stroke cutaway engine

i used to work for a certain japanese car manufacturer in the UK...........was once on a training course.........the guy taking the course took us to the engine manufacturing plant and in reception there was a cutaway 4 pot inline......you could spin the crank and see all the valve gear and pistons etc doing what they should.....thing is although he was taking the course he didnt have a clue how an engine worked!!!!........i ended up running thro it for him lol lol........'suck, squeeze, bang, blow'..........he had never heard of that either!

I've read good things about that Spitfire.I will probably get one at the Telford show in November

[Ian M]

The detail id rather good on it. I couldn't be chuffed with the "royal" version, with all the lights and whistles.

The jag is rather nice as well
