Bought a clip-on macro lens for my phone.
It won't improve my modelling skills but at least I can make my little mistakes look really big....

It came with three lenses, a macro, a fish-eye & a wide angle.

Twenty-ish quid off Amazon. Other rain forests are available. :upside:

A couple of deliveries today :smiling:
Sorry bank account please forgive me:rolling:

 

[Guest]

Don’t add those mixing balls to any glass bottle: vigorous shaking could have it come apart in your hands. (No points for guessing how I know that.)

 

[monica]

what a great buy theses mixing balls are ,real wish i had done that with a lot of my paints,
as i have some many get hardish
real do suggest you do add them, ,
and not Jakko comment as well a nono :smiling:

 

[peterairfix]

[peterairfix]

Dropped off today hopefully the complete 100 issues of hachettes build the titanic as I have never had the complete set unbuilt.

Sorry bank account please forgive me:rolling:

Hey Mark, I feel for you and I hope mine does too...

As you might know, I am almost retired and winter is coming soon. I am also a Friul junkie and as the Holland show has been cancelled in October, I needed a fix badly!!!......



Straight out of Hungary from the source. I mailed Giuseppe and asked him to "make me an offer I couldn't refuse"!!! He did!!!!........Evilbay has also snagged some of my cash and at good prices too,


€20 delivered and now I have all 5 of the supply wagons I need. Another evilbay deal was mostly a dumb bid on a kit because I liked the box art and really didn't think I would win it. Be damned, I did win it for €40 delivered to the door. I still can't believe it,



The box weighs about a kilo and stuffed to the brim with parts.........Now as I like to scratch stuff (not fleas), these were needed for various jobs coming up,



9 Packs of lead wire from 0.02mm up to 1.0mm. The fig w/dog was a freebie and is 3D printed. To get it and free postage, I added this into my shopping cart,



Don't really need the 5cm gun itself. I need the 2 single wheeled transport trolley's it's sitting on. Prolly throw the 5cm on a truck or something later. Took today off as it was slow at work, jumped on the bicycle and pedaled my butt to Lidl for a couple of sale items,



A big box of alligator clips and the drawer unit for resin figs (right side row) and little stuff. Real cheap!!! Got both for €10,98............

There's no hope for me, and matron can't help either.....I'm a goner............

Prost
Allen

That`s one impressive haul there Allen :thumb2: ,
I have one of those storage units,and they`re fantastic for figures and organising spares into sections,there`s also a weird coincidence that`s happened today......... which i`ll post up drekkly.........
Andy

 

[The Smythe Meister]

....... Leading on,seamlessly,from Allen`s post there.........
I also went to my Local Lidl today...... and bought a very reasonably priced,(£8),storage unit.The centre compartments are pretty much the same as in Allen`s,but the side buckets on this type are very useful for larger stuff,such as glues,files,larger paint jars/pots etc......

The large tray at the bottom is one large Dude.... and has card inserts to write on to show contents for each compartment,and also some clear plastic dividers for those central drawers. I think it`s a really useful addition to help keep your stuff/bench tidy!!
Andy

 

[Allen Dewire]

Andy, They had that one too, but I needed the closed drawers to keep out the dust and stuff.................

 

[Mark1]

A good price I just had to! :rolling:

 

[Allen Dewire]

Uhh Mark, bank account will never speak to you again..................................
