Wow Tim,

Sorry I missed that too and a hearty congrats on your Ruhestand (retirement in German). Lots of time to Moggell now, so get cracking Bud!!!

Damn evilbay strikes again. this kit sat at €16,49 with 3 seconds to go and stupid me clicked on €17 and ended up winning it. I should be shot. I just wanted to raise the price for the seller a little,



And this afternoon at my local Norma store, they had this for €9,99 so I just had to buy one,



Now I have to figure out what I will do with it. Luckily it comes with a 3 year guarantee..……………………………..Use it for scratchy building I guess...……………..

Prost
Allen

Hi Allen
Thanks for that.....still getting used to it....and can’t model until I get the man cave back after we move. Now up to five days trying to complete the exchange so it’s beyond frustrating....
Nice haul by the way, the vernier is a really useful tool I found....not just for modelling.....

I bought myself one of those digital ones a few years ago. The battery runs out like crazy, though — it gives every impression the electronics are always powered up, only the display getting turned off after a while. Could be this is because I bought a cheap one, but I’ve fallen back on a trusty analog one that doesn’t need me to put in new batteries every time I need it.

And now for something completely different saw these and couldn’t resist, an android a robot and a mercenary, just needs some good painting and a nice base.

Mick,
Now that is different and I like it a lot, really looking forward to seeing what you do with this

i had same problem........................i just take the battery out when im done, put it back in the next time i use it :thumb2:

 

[Allen Dewire]

With my luck Paul, I will probably use it once or twice a year, so pulling the battery is a great idea. Thanks!!!

Thanks Tim and I hope you get moved soon and back in the groove with a man cave. Now repeat after me, it's a Digitaler Messschieber, Digitaler Messschieber, Digitaler Messschieber.......with a 3 year guarantee!!!!........I need a life...........

I intended to do that too after the first one ran out, but because the lid is held on by two screws, I find it too much of a hassle

screws???? theres fancy! :flushed: mines got a slide out cover :smiling6:

 

[Guest]

If mine did too, then I’d also still be using it just like you, by removing the battery when I don’t need it. Maybe I should just buy a new one like that and sell the old one

This book unexpectedly dropped onto the doormat today, a complimentary copy because one of my photos appears in it and I think I also helped one of the authors get some details right. Though of course I haven’t finished reading it yet, it certainly looks like a good book to get for anyone with an interest in the AMX-13.

 

[Mickc1440]

Never built one of these before and always liked the shape so this came up fairly cheap and in a nice scale too, big

Hi it's got to be the buy of the week found this morning in a charity shop this morning for £ 20.00 and the lady said she had some more at her other shop, and I've already said yes without even seeing them.



These two are coming very handy.

Pete.

That’s a good haul Pete - what a bargain
