Bit of an impulse purchase this but I found it on offer for £26 delivered, Sealey BG1010



Around 8" / 20cm wide, it has a coarse & fine wheel fitted, variable speed, slow start, flexible shaft for dremel type tools or drill bits that can connect to either side, and an additional piece (not pictured) for mounting the wire wheel, polishing head or red "scotchbrite" type wheel.

I bought it mainly for the flexible shaft as it's got to be easier on the wrist than my heavy budget tool but I'm sure the other bits will come in handy.

Hi, the flexible shaft is a handy addition, only thing I found was I had to make a holder for it otherwise it bounces and jiggles all over the desk. :smiling3:

Thanks for the tip Mark. I'd hoped the soft rubber feet might prevent that but I'll find something to strap it down with. Lots of duct tape probably :smiling5:

 

[Guest]

Saw this mentioned in a thread recently - can't remember which one :rolling: Cost £2.69 delivered.

Early delivery from postie...............
I've had these on backorder for a long time

A quick look in the boxes, and the wait was worth it - nice mouldings, good decal sheets. The Kfir armament is all single piece moulded, bombs. LGBs & missiles - like the AMK 1/48 models.

And as a result of another cheeky bid on ebay........................
From Mitches Military Models - 1/9 Soviet Pilot 'Hero of the Soviet Union' - I'll have to do a bit of research to see if I can identify him.

How's this for a bargain?
from The Works.
They had other titles like the buccaneer but I'm not into jets.

 

[BattleshipBob]

They have some good books at great prices!

I got the infantry one a few weeks ago - our branch had quite a few other titles in stock but I already have them (at considerably higher prices - typical)


Postie delivered these this morning:


50% discount - damaged box. The end panels have been stapled together to keep it box shaped


50% discount as supposedly damaged packaging - looks like new to me


50% discount - box end flap slightly torn


35% discount


I also got these from my sister and brother in law for my birthday

 

[Mini Me]

Happy Birthday Mr. T.

Hi all

So there was a small model show this morning local to me - mostly trade stalls- that I picked up these at.

Been thinking on how to display my Wellington bust. I looked at wooden plinths, but I wanted something plain, and in a neutral colour, so the bust draws the attention, not the base! - anyway postie delivered these a moment ago.......................

Solid resin plinths, ready to be drilled & sprayed. I sourced them from Model Display Products in Newport, Gwent. Reasonable price, fast service - well worth a look!

Hanslope Andrew? I was there, we should have arranged a meet. There didn't seem to be as many traders there as usual. I only bought a book about the BBMF, and a few aftermarket bits.

No, I'm not about to rip the seat out of my F-16 Hornet, but that Quickboost seat is gorgeous, so I had to have it! The seller kindly knocked a few quid off.
