Though I normally use Y tube to seek out method, but as I seem unable to construct a model with out having trouble I ought to be able to do my wreaks better. Hopefully this will help.


It arrived this morning so thanks John, first look is very positive , no excuses now.:nerd:

 

[BattleshipBob]

Ha of course you will Bob, superior tracks to protect that poor old StuG .:smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::nerd:

Thats you off my xmas card list:tongue-out3:

 

[BattleshipBob]

Guess who bought this (another xmas pressie)

 

[Peej]

Postie came today with these. Another fast and efficient order from John. Thank you John.

these two turned up yesterday from a Black Friday supposedly discounted sale impulse buy although I don’t think I saved a lot looking at the normal prices - oops!

Anyway they are both ICM kits really just in a Revell box - look to be straight from ICM as they are in their type of plastic package and all sprues are ICM marked

 

[Dave Ward]

Simon,
the scout car ( a Panhard ) is a lovely little model, full interior - I made the ICM Command car boxing ( extra aerials & radios ) - well worth a look. Although I very rarely buy 2 of the same model, I do have the Revell boxing in the stash, it's so good - and I got it at a good discount !

One of the last ones in my area.

Aah, the Mary Rose. As a young school kid in the early 80's I went on a school trip to see the Mary Rose. Travelling from London to Portsmouth on a coach seemed to take forever. When we got there we were taken out onto a viewing patform/mezzanine above where she lay awaiitng restoration. Unfortunately because of the constant spray of salt water that was being applied to stop her instantly disintigrating all we actually saw was a dark shape amongst some mist. Worst school trip ever!

Barrels for the above. I know one is not the correct barrel but lengthwise it is the same as the kit and at this scale I figured the 0.0416mm diameter difference was worth paying the price for something that doesn't snap given the amount of handling it will see.

I didn't even ask for a new print of this book. New around £13. This is supposedly a used one and was only 83p, yet it looks like new apart from one faint thumb/finger smudge.

And free from work!!

I won a £25 Amazon voucher at work in a prize draw back in the summer.

The Amazon voucher was donated to the family spending pot so I could order this from Fleabay. I've always had a thing for WW2's big twin-engined fighters and came across this and thought why not?!?!? I have to say it is a thing of beauty and more than matches all the good things I have read about the Eduard ProfiPacks, of which this is my first but is unlikely to be my last!

Today I finally took the plunge and bought and airbrush and compressor!

The airbrush is a Revell Masterclass, and the compressor is a BA1100 (Badger, I believe)

Welcome to the world of AB. having picked up one last year I've throughout thoroughly enjoyed it other than the the pod hiccup as I learnt the ropes.

I may be wrong but that looks like an AS186 that gets rebadged by various firms and is used by quite a few of us on here, including me. I've never had any problems with it so far.

Probably is. In a recent interview / tour of the Badger factory they were quite open about the fact that they bought all their compressors in, but did a little "tweaking" to help performance and durability.

This arrived the other day.....seems I’m developing a taste for these winged beasts :thinking:

Thanks for the reply, Andrew! Reassuring to hear, I was a bit iffy about buying a compressor that didn’t seem to be branded, but I’m glad it’s a decent one! It was on sale too:smiling5:

 

[Guest]

Christmas came early! Zoe ordered these but she's out shopping so I sneaked a look before they get wrapped and hidden away until the big day :smiling5:

And postie also brought me some goodies from John. Packaged very safely as usual. Much better than the poor efforts above from elsewhere!
