Decided to go to a new shop today. Went to the Scale Model Shed (not to be confused with our home) to have a look. It’s a new bricks and mortar store off of the A303 near Ilminster in Ilford business park. I had a good look around, and was even given a cup of coffee
I had some birthday tokens, so bought a couple of kits…..unusual for me……

Always fancied a Katy…….

And….this was Oohhh, shiney…………
Also bought a couple of items to try them out…..


Hoping the putty is like the unobtainium Tamiya putty….
The primer Surfacer is because I’m running out of Alclad grey and still can’t get on with acrylic primers on kit builds…..
The Citadel paint is from the “contrast” range, which I’ve yet to try…..it’s a bit like a thick wash apparently, colouring and shading an object over an appropriate primer undercoat……and I’ve got some figures coming up that I want to try yellow shades on, so let’s see what happens…..

I do love a Jagdpanther!

It's good to see a new shop open, bucking the trend. I wish them well. I fancy one of those ambulances.

Me too, it just looks “right”…..

Agreed, that’s why I went down there. Got to support bricks and mortar or they will disappear ……

Indeed..... Absolutely no mistake what they're designed for!

Wow, some great stuff being grabbed up guys. Sort of like squirrels storing up nuts for the winter...I went the other way and got a few things needed that are not model oriented really...And no, the girls weren't included,


Always wanted a wireless printer and got a good deal too. I needed a new phone as my old one was acting up like it had Alzheimer's. Spent over an hour cutting up my SIM card to make it fit, and miraculously, it worked!!! Damn thing is huge like a Buick, compared to my old Corvair sized 10-year-old Sony!!!...

You are supposed to take it out of the box first.....
:rolling:

So decided to open up the safe and extract a few shaekels and send away for this...


And one for JR....

All I have to do now is assemble it, but I might add a floor of MDF as it feels a bit flimsy....

Wow Lee!!!...
That's about a year's worth of work in one box for me and my build rate!!
Good choice though mate... and several great subjects in the same package... Nice one !!

 

[Lee W]

Thanks Andy, should be an interesting build... at some point! Haha

 

[Steve Brodie]

Ooh that's good. Saw it over on planet figure. You do like your big lumps of resin don't you?

Lol yep, could have been worse I could have gone for the full size figure or the 300mm full samurai on horse !

I bagged an ebay bargain no instructions but I intend to throw everything at it.
It's and earlier version but what did I pay for it.
£30.

After looking at the cockpit instructions I must be a glutton for punishment.......

OK, so had a good look at this product, and I must say I am not impressed. The base and back are made of a flimsy card product and without any support. You obviously have the top and sides from a frosted plastic. All connections are a fold up type of connection which reminded me of those fold up railway stations made from cut out card where you slot one wall into another... The filters which are supposed to make up the structure are from thin card frames... So when the weather warms up I will construct my own frame and base from MDF and incorporate the filters, extractor and sides/top. Value for money - forget it....

Evri just dropped this off

I made this a long time ago & made a real hash of it - I've a few years more experience now, so hopefully I can make a better job of it this time - an Ebay auction win at a good price

Hi all

So although I bought nothing at Telford, I did win this on eBay on Friday night and it arrived today, so very good service.

However, it was bought with some birthday money I had been given and as that's not for another few weeks, I can't officially do the big reveal until then, so you just have to wait to see what it is! :smiling5:

Hi all

So following on from my mystery arrival...I ordered this masking set, which of course gives you an what the general subject matter is but I don't won't to completely give the game away until the big day!

If you do manage to work out what it is please don't say!

[Geoffers]

Don’t worry Andrew I won’t say what it is……..as I haven’t got a clue :tears-of-joy:
