John,
pre-owned - or in original language - second hand!

No Kits, No Kits, No Kits, but a set of figgies from Alpine came yesterday including 2 extra heads,



Now I just need a Jeep to put them in...……......No Kits, No Kits, No Kits, but maybe they'd fit in a Schwimmwagen???? NOT!!!!!!!!

Bleib Gesund
Allen

 

[Mini Me]

Everybody needs extra heads...seems justified to me

 

[Gern]

Boredom buying is a terrible thing...

Don't be silly! Best cure for lockdownitis known to man.

 

[Gern]

Next batch:



All teeny tiny 1/100 scale but not bad for just under £30 delivered.

Don't be silly! Best cure for lockdownitis known to man.

Must be, since getting back in to modeling and with no basic paints, brushes, on and on, I just got cured to the tune of about $80, OH, and starting my "stash", another $90.

These only took 13 days to make the trip across the North Sea … the date on the postage label says 08/04/20, they arrived half an hour ago. By air mail :rolling:

 

[Guest]

All the kits I recieved today.

 

[Guest]

Another 1/48 armour kit arrived today, since I enjoyed the last one so much

And I saw Andy's HHQ do an unboxing of this. Because it's so futuristic looking he mentioned he might paint it in SciFi or Warhammer colours. I liked the sound of that so picked one up myself and may possibly do the same.

Needed some more paint & down to the last 1/2 bottle of TET, so, from John.....................

And as a result of an unexpected ebay win

Not the most detailed of castings, but a substantial hunk of resin - in 1/9, or 1/10 scale


Colour call outs, all in French - and a list of Knights this could represent - I think a bit of heraldic research is needed, for his shield.

Had a delivery from Royal Mail Parcels...............................
As a result of lockdown, ( not visiting the pub, or coffee shop ) this has meant that I have a few more pennies in my pocket ( or did! ) I decided to get myself an early birthday present

I've been watchng these on ebay & the shops, and I managed to win an ebay auction, with a very pleasing price ( to me! ).
A big heavy box, filled with sprues - 677 parts...................
Dave

 

[Allen Dewire]

Really nice kit Dave and the instructions look real busy too. A shame you don't get a snowmobile with it though...…..

 

[Dave Ward]

Allen,
can't be too greedy! The Trumpeter version sells for around £80, and the Meng version £115+, ( Zvezda ebay price £40 ) there's a big difference in price, so if a snowmobile appears, who knows?

Nice one Dave, that model is also on my must do list along with some other multi-wheeled stuff.

I discovered the other day that Star Decals released a set for British vehicles on Walcheren, 1944, last month. This just happens to be one of the subjects I’ve been interested in in recent years, and even better, it includes decals for a tank I’ve built but which has been on hold until I figured out a good way to do its markings

Not the Crab, that’s another one than the particular tank I’m building, but the set also includes markings for a Sherman V. Still, it’s missing the hardest part to replicate, the name on the side, but this set does make the rest rather easier. There are also some small mistakes in the decals and the instructions, so I guess I’ll have to mail Star Decals in case they ever decide to reprint this set

Hi Jakko.
Anything for an LVT-4 or M29 in that set?
Jon.

 

[Jack L]

Hi the postman drop this off today and yes the Toons are back.

Pete.
