Errrrrrrrrmmmm I don't think I would want the job of masking the canopy on that little aviation "nightmare" :tongue-out3:
Do you know what..... And this will probably get me shot..... But they do nothing for me.....

Tim before today I would have said no idea, but I cut back the building front on the diorama with some 400 git wet and dry, both wet and dry. Seemed to be ok as long as I didn't press too hard.

Wow fantastic Andy , Cohan's new vertical high rise ? Love to Rach from us both .I`ve been after a better display case for a while now,narrowly missed out on a couple the last 6 months or so.
However,my luck changed on Wednesday when my solitary bid of TEN QUID actually won one!! Even better...... it was "Collection only"..... Buckfastleigh...... which is just 10 miles down the A38!!:thumb2:
Just picked it up,it needs a bit of a clean but Hey,i can cope with that!!.........
Ere tis.......
...... YEP..... just TEN quid:dizzy:Feeling rather pleased with myself!!
Andy,(That`s not where it`s going BTW,the pic was taken in situ at the sellers)
Yeah, you're spot on there Rick..
Problem is with me,I tend to think,"Hmmm,that could be tricky, but I'll overcome it.......
Then get it anyway and suddenly think.......,"Oh s***,how am I gonna do that?"......
.... Not stopped me adding to the stash yet mind!!
I'm sure he'd love it John...
... However, I'm not sure he'd be too careful picking his way through four tiers of completed Dios/ builds!!
I know what you mean there Smitty, In my stash He 111, Ju 88, Arado 234b etc. etc. And no pre made masks in 1-87 so they languish.
Somehow after walking past Mr.Models stand at the Cosford AIrshow my 18yr old son had talked me into buying this; building it, painting it and then 'gifting' to him when finished. only £24.99 so not that expensive and it looks a good kit and build ( have checked youtube). Havent built any plastic for a couple of years so should be fun !
Steve, great kit but I think you need to have words with your son...... First it's a model, then it will be a car and before you know it, it will be a house!
Hi all
here are my latest acquisition - pins but not just any pins:
these are pins from Watkins & Doncaster which are designed for pinning insects. They are strong and very thin, thicknesses of : 0.42mm, 0.32mm and 0.25mm.
a little while ago I bought some 1/72 scale figures and these will be used to pin the figures to the diorama base, and to pin together parts if I convert any of the figures.

if you pm me I'll send you a dozen or so - they come in packs of 100 each so I have one or two spare!

Love it Andy , thank you , will show him to Christine .,,,,Cohan`s commin` to getchya......
...!!!:nerd:
Wow! I thought 0.5mm was thin enough (I was thinking of mechanical pencil lead refills size).
Are your pins made of special steel? Are they bendable without breaking?.
Very generous Peter.
For info…..Lace making pins are another source of thin strong pins. I bought some twenty odd years ago for assembling railway locomotive valve gear and am still using them for odd jobs. They come in a variety of materials, diameters, and lengths.
