Latest Acquisitions (2021)

Had a pleasant surprise from the payroll guy at the college i retired from, backpay from a payrise given when was still on the books and they miscalcuated the holiday pay, so a very nice payment into the bank. So with it I just had to spend it

From Ebay, cheapest i have seen this outside of Japan plus a 15% discount voucher taking nearly £35 off and its a beast

The detail is astonishing, postie now has a bad back

Some will think i am nuts and be right lol, intened to buy this at some stage so at the price and my extra cash, what the hell. Got a few to build and hone my meaque skills before taking the glue to this!!
Googled this out of curiosity. Eye wateringly expensive. A nice present to oneself indeed. Have fun building :)

This is a repop of the 'Matchbox' 1979 model. The Matchbox ships weren't particularly good - being rather soft & short of detail. I have a spares crate with a lot of 1/700 bits ( Tamiya, Hasegawa etc ), that are well detailed. I'm going to use those & plastic card ( to replace the overscale bulwarks ), and see If I can make a presentable model from it ( Tamiya do a 1/700 Indianapolis, but at £24, not attractive ). I paid the massive sum of £8.04 delivered, so no real loss if it all goes Pete Tong!

Crikey, Dave. The size of your navy must now be close to rivalling that of the British Empire circa 1914. :surprised:
