Early delivery here at the Towers.

Following a recent conversation with Dave I've made the step. Big one for me.

The cleaner is as it says, I've plenty of thinners that will suit the primers. Just want to achieve a trouble free primer with no tip drying . The white will be useful when subsequent coats will be lighter, ie figures sprayed from the top .
 
A couple of cheap trailers for future ideas

Various metallics and some chrome tape to detail my truck build, plus a stock up on clearcoat & thinner

And since I'm a sucker for shiny tools I've picked this up. Should be much more convenient than my dremel clone for smaller items.

Amazing service and rapid delivery from scale model shop as usual (preaching to the converted...)
 
I have one. Dremel clone will not be out of work. Lol. Don't expect to use it as a drill..
Doesn't sound promising :smiling5:

A bit miffed that my dspiae drill bits don't even fit into it.

You are better off with a good pin Chuck anyway Andy. It’s easier on both the number of drill bits you use, and on the model. Power tools are best for grinding and cutting plastic, rather than drilling it, unless you are using solid castings.

Spoken like a nan that has not drilled out all the portholes in battleship lol.

I use mine mostly as a grinder with the 'Diamond' grunding bits...Good for thinning out for rust damage too.
 
True, but I’ve drilled out plenty of coach handrail and roof vent holes.

Yet another toxic comment.

I don't know what I've done wrong, I just want to build my models my way but it seems I'm not allowed to on this forum.

I'm out, you can all rejoice.
 
Andy, I think the water trailer is of WWII vintage & the M101 is post war.

I'm sure that wasn't the intent @Andy T

That was absolutely not my intention Andy. If I have offended you in any way it has been completely unintentional and I apologise wholeheartedly.

Knowing Tim, this was not meant as an insult in any way, shape or form.
 
With Resicast throwing in the towel by the end of the year, I thought I had better buy their models that I really still want to build:

Also a figure for my Churchill AVRE with bridge, plus another figure for future use somewhere, and the set of three is because I needed the arms — I had bought this set earlier this year but it was missing the arms. I asked for only those, but got a whole new set … And the usual freebie, a set of British food containers.
