Many happy returns young Neil!
I've been dragged around the charity shops again today. I don't need any more Airfix starter sets, but it would have been rude to pass this up:

I'm also afflicted with this over-politeness gene that causes me to buy kits! Have you found a treatment yet?

The casualties on stretchers is quite a nice set, I bought it to stick a couple of them in the LCA I’m building. The stretchers themselves are some of the best I’ve seen, and the figures are convincing too — even if you may want to replace their heads with resin ones
Beware that they don’t necessarily fit onto the stretcher without a little cutting and filing, though.
This eBay purchase was done on a whim. It is either a great bargain or a waste of money. I'll let you know when I have opened the box and had a good look. It was advertised as started with two missing pieces. Looked at the instructions online and the parts look easy to scratch. If it is rubbish then I have donated £26.05 to the Hospice Charity who was the seller. These kits are rare and sell for big money now, well over £150.

I'm having so many issues so much fun with the 1/48 bf 110 that I decided to get the 1/72 as well lol
I've heard lots of good things about the new Airfix kits but the only way to know is to build one. I fancied this subject so will give it a whirl:
And the new AK wet palette. Roughly twice the size of my old one (that I find too small) and a handy dandy dry palette in the lid.
I've also fallen for the hype and am trying some GSW products. I use automotive UV putty a lot at work but have found it too hard to sand for models. Almost instant curing with no sinkage, should be helpful if it sands okay.
And a few other bits to make the shipping from Spain worthwhile.

well,that`s a great mix of goodies there Andy
,i particularly like the look of that Me 410A,:thumb2:
Acquired a Kitmaste/Airfix/Dapol 'Evening Star' from a local model railway buff - he apologised that there weren't any instructions & it was in a Tesco freezer bag. Surprised when I told him I'd already downloaded the Airfix instructions, not aware of Scalemates!
Cost to me was 3 lengths of 3D printed display rails, one in 'OO', one in 'N' & one in' Z' The internet provided me with the dimensions & I was able to scale down my existing 'OO' model ( the 'Z' gauge is tiny, 6.5mm between rails )

Some gems there. I thought about the Airfix kit - This looks like a rebox from the 90s.
Some extras for my lanc
Goodies arrived today from Graham at resicast:
the BARV conversion kit:
a bit of a quirky one, but could make a nice centre piece for a little vignette:
this is the really exciting kit with a whopping 200+ parts:
along with this detail set:
one thing which is really nice with the Flodden Steam Wagon is that the kit comes with a memory stick containing pdf instructions along with dozens of photos of the build process as well as photos of the real thing; both from ww1 and of restored vehicles. A really great resource for building the kit.

Now that’s a bit different. Very interesting indeed Peter. Did they use the Foden boiler to produce steam for the autoclaves or was there a stationary boiler that travelled along with them?
Being so different is what attracted me to the kit, it look a very complex build, hopefully complex = fun rather than frustration. Time will tell but lack of instructions or info cannot be an excuse. The Foden provided the steam, but there were smaller versions consisting of one autoclave which needed a boiler.

Some very small boats

Better get them out of the bath before you take the plug out Bob, or you’ll never see them again
Nuts, forgot only have shower! But there is a very big lake at the bottom of the rd!Better get them out of the bath before you take the plug out Bob, or you’ll never see them again
I don't know how it is on the Insel, but I really hate Black Friday sales on the net!!! Over here, MBK threw a bunch of stuff on sale at midnight on Monday and then more later on during the day. Nothing I really needed, but then I saw something later on and as you say...It would have been very rude not to snatch it up for the price! Postie gave me this an hour ago. A big box full of parts,
Oh, and this is what you build with this big box of parts,
With my 5% discount added on, it came delivered for €114.95...Yea I know, will he build it??? Maybe, but if I don't build it, it will just fatten up my kid's inheritance when I go............I still hate Black Friday sales!!!....

PS, they also have great deals on some WnW kitsets too (but I have them already)...
