discussion Latest Acquisitions (2019)

[Fernando N]

Due to my recent craziness on evilbay with the want for cheapness in kits, I had no choice but to make another purchase. Ya Gotta put 'em somewhere and for €19,95, it should work out well…..

Maybe I should have bought 2...………………………….

Watch out with those my friend, if you get any more filled with kits you may as well start a shop.:tongue-out3:

Got some more paints for some future builds, new brushes for the acrylics and small mixing palettes:

Have used a big palette of late, but these little ones are better suited on a crowded bench especially when you only need it for one colour.

Also a surprise awaited me last Friday when I got home, a gift from our very own Steve Jones:


Now the inscriptions on the package should have raised a couple of eyebrows in the various post offices it went through ‘’To Mr. Fernando Nijhuis Expert model maker all round good guy, From S. Jones Member of the Rabble’’:smiling5::smiling5:

Many thanks again my friend, this will be a great inspiration for a colourful Tornado in the near future.:thumb2::thumb2:

An advise from E bay this morning , I won the auction after a fierce bidding war of one !
For a the Vision model of the BA-6, ok it was £ 14.99 plus £ 7 for the postage. Coming from Portugal so the postage is a bit more than getting it here, unfortunately no one has any stock in the UK.

Wanted to get this as they are good company that makes some things for MiniArt and Mt T:nerd: has recommended them, that in itself is good enough for me.:thumb2:
Will be interesting to see the difference in the quality.

Mmm bit like StuGsville Bob here at the moment. I wanted to build the complete set minus the variants.
Get them while I could. as the Miniart version is no longer made.

That can’t be a very new kit …? I like that it has a superb instruction sheet, though Oh, and did the crisps come with it?

The last time I brought one new from a shop was some twenty years ago.

Some craziness from evilbay and at some good prices too!!! I have to stop this buying frenzy crap...………………….

[Peter Gillson]

Following the really dreadful packaging of the figures, the LCM arrived today - nicely packaged:



Now I just have nip to may local model shop for a 2 channel RC set and some motors.

Not quite the scale of Nimitz, but a challenge for my limited experiance.

After getting some money back from the health insurance, bought these from SMS last week and they arrived today.
Really wanted the Sea Fury and the Wolf for the Dutch variants, the others were in the back of my head for some time and now was a good time to buy:nerd::

Nicely packed and swiftly sent by John as always.:thumb2:

My haul from sword and lance at the weekend the dragon wagon was an absolute steal at £40 and I got the three tankart books for £25.00

Check the mouldings on the american weaponry , a box i bought ( a long time ago ) had a .3mm shift back and front , so all weapons were unusable.
I assume the mould didn't match when closed.

Hi, I told myself there's nothing to get from Sydney that I can't get here...besides baggage weight was my concern but it happened...



Why the Sherman...because I didn't get it when I was last in Tokyo and because at sale price it was the same converted from Japanese yen if it were sold at Tamiya HQ Shizuoka.

Can't get that particular elastoplast texture here.
Can't get those figures here neither the 1/144 Tomcat.
The art supplies were cheap.

Everything else was costly after conversion. I get Miniart figure sets here for only RM37...try converting that. The MB figures above Are easily RM60 after converting.

Cheers,
Richard

Wow Richard, I didn't know you could pay in Reich Marks in your end of the world!!! I wouldn't know where to begin with the conversion though....………..Oh, nice haul too!!!
