Latest Acquisitions (2023)

Postie just dropped off this little box. IMG_20230206_125459.jpgAnd inside was all thisIMG_20230206_125429.jpgIMG_20230206_125426.jpgIts my lightning kit for my Enterprise A
 
Some resin wheels for a kit in the stash and a Reich flag that will be an air recognition flag on my current tank build.
Printed on "adaptable" paper, it will (supposedly) conform to whatever you drape it on and hod its shape, useful for flags flying in the wind, but it'll be draped on the front of a tank in this case.

Another amazingly quick delivery from John and SMS.

Will be able to start the mammoth task of painting Das Boot now.

Postie just delivered a very well wrapped ebay auction win - I had to get the Stanley Knife out!

I always thought it was Ryujo - but I guess translating Japanese script can't always be exact. I'm noticing that whilst auction prices are as normal, the p&p prices are creeping up on ebay...............

I folded and thought I would see what all the fuss is about with these wooden deck for model ships. Sorry Ron.
That was found in a Shop in Sweden, thus the silly price ticket...

Whist looking for some new drill bits

I found a few other bit for the pending Bismarck build and a hopefully nifty little electric drill/grinder Said Dspia on the order but the tool says Border model.... Hmm

I found a few resin boats in 6 and 8 metre versions, and blast bags for the main and duel purpose guns. Says they are all different.

And I just got an email from the book store saying my book is on the way... Anatomy of the ship Bismarck, the new one.
 
I am either very brave or stupid I will let you know when i am brave enough to start it. IMG_20230208_151042.jpg
 
Meanwhile in the UK a large extremely well packed parcel arrived at Race Towers Post Room ..IMG_20230208_182924109.jpgIMG_20230208_183119846.jpg
Been thinking about this as some of you know for some time . Seeing Jim's impressive building I became really interested in the depth you can obtain using foam versus a board like Kapa Line . Will still use that board for certain base work and buildings .
Now waiting for some more foam to arrive from the 4 D model shop .

Have thought about one of these too..... Being very rude and extremely un-british... How much did you pay?

Not quite as exciting as some others and Dude 2's new toy, but none the less, the postie just dropped this little package off. Needed things for sure,

For the Halberstadt build and I wanted to try out the Uschi iron polishing powder as recommended by BarryW in his builds. Damn, the turnbuckles are tiny critters!!!...

The final spend ( I've said that before ) of the new year arrived this morning
Minus the bell one off the staff sat in
the main tower to wait for the courier.

Not a model , paint or anything like that, merely some foam board and a large block of
Styrofoam. Great service from 4 D model shop .
