New year new thread.

 

[Ian M]

May your acquisitions be plentiful and any replies short, to the point and on topic. (there it was: the first grump of the year lol).

neighbour came round the other day and gave a cardboard box and in it was this;



He knows I build figures and saw this on eBay, how I don’t know. Can’t give it back saying it’s a grey import. So will push on with it.

I remember seeing this when it was released. Pity the recaster never corrected the issues with the railway carriage. Some of the most glaring ones are easily sorted out, and others are only recognisable to those “in the know”. The figure poses look nice. In fact, they deserve a backdrop that’s more in keeping with them :thumb2:

My wife bought me this, because she’s fed up with me build military stuff.

The spokes are the easy bit. Its drilling the rims that are going to be the killer ....:smiling::smiling2::smiling3:

Happy New Year all!

So technically these are all 2022 purchases but have only arrived yesterday and today.


First up these for some recent wingy purchases....not that exciting.....





Next up this for my 'Hunters and the Hunted' collection. This accompanies the searchlight I already have. Got it from Kingkit 2nd hand still sealed. Although it was a tad more expensive than new from the manufacturer, the P&P was a quarter of the manufacturer's and so was in effect 25% off....at least that's my excuse!:smiling5:





Next up this larger scale Würger, to join the 109 and Spitfire I have recently purchased......still strongly suspect @AlanG 's undue influence given his penchant for this particular aircraft! Whilst not the absolute cheapest recent eBay sale, still a good price and MUCH cheaper than any Profipack versions I saw around the same time!

New floor for the shed, I had put down EVA tiles but they're a bit soft for scooting my chair about, kept checking the clearance items in B&Q and found this laminate for €15....would of been rude not to buy it.

And so it begins. Pzkw iii was a steal at £18 and the paints are for the upcoming GB.

I can only commend your fortitude in resisting for so long. I just got all my purchases in before the year was out as it makes me look like I have done so well already!!! :smiling5:

Can't help noticing though that's it's got bits sticking out of what I assume is the hull...... Plus no tracks!!! Are you ok???:astonished::astonished::astonished::smiling5::smiling5::smiling5:

[KarlW]

....let just say it will be a while before I show my wife the total......:cold-sweat::cold-sweat:

I reckon you should, as a social experiment, so we know what happens......

Anyhoo, going to try 3d decals in my ICM Beaufort, which will be my next build.

Another visit to my favourite model ship second hand but all there and a lot cheaper than what's flying around at the moment

Nice
I know that says "London Bus",but my bus to school used to be a Green one of those....
The no.7a from St.Budeaux Square to Paradise Road in Plymouth,operated by the "Western National" bus company
If I ever get one of these I'd do it as that... for prosperity sake.
