Simon, Jakko,
I never thought of that, even though I had both boxes open in front of me, DOH!!! :surprised:
Cheers, Dave

Not had any time to build but have picked up a few more damaged boxes

Well, at 50% discount it would be rude not to........

Apart from the new compressor I 've had this arrived today.



I'm determined to be able to do PE, will definitely use the screens, mesh and the boxes , the rest will depend on If I can actually see it ! :upside:

The tracks arrived on Tuesday , used these before, fiddly to say the least but the results of using the resin pin gives in effect of a proper track pin.No doubt there will be much swearing and crawling about .
When building both these I shall bring out the "CLEAN CUTTING MAT " Mike please note. :smiling:

Mr postie dropped a little something for me today.
So watch out for a mosquito thread coming soon.

Postie brought this to me this morning, lost and damaged too many pe parts so, bought this, have tried it and I thinks its a brilliant piece of kit.

Pictures are not taken by me, I'm c**p so these are used for discussion only.
Forgot to add, I bought it from Historex Agents, it's made by The Small Tool Shop, a US company.

Being a moggeler, and from Yorkshire, I made my own from a chunk of perspex and an old drawer pull

 

[Bortig the Viking]

Cheapskate, to be honest, didnt even think of making one, but it is good.

Simon, being a Master of the Black Arts puts you in a completely different league, one that we mere mortals can only dream of.

All the way from China - ordered Jan 30th delivered today
It's supposed to be for soldering ( it has a iron holder, which I've discarded ) The magnifying glass has two LEDs, powered by 3 x AAA batteries in the base, which gives it a bit of stability.............

Two brought home on my travels the jet ranger was a charity shop find for a fiver.

Amazon man just delivered this, heard good things so bought one, hope it's as good in real life.

Mark i have this sort of thing, but in two separate 'pens' for PE. They are excellent bits of kit. Great for picking up tiny bits of PE and placing them where required

That's what I've heard, this one is two in one so I thought it looked the better option.

Ummm, Ahhhh, Ohhh, I broke my "No Kit" rule a lot little after winning this on evilbay for €26,39 delivered to the door,


I have some Hetzers in the stash and they needed something to recover them. It's the bonus edition with the complete engine compartment with motor and the extra etch fret for the fenders and side skirts. I need more rehab………...………………...

 

[Bortig the Viking]

I'm now banned from shopping for a month, under orders.
Fingers crossed otherwise my ass is toast. :sad:

 

[AlanG]

No Jakko, I don't wargame. I needed an excuse to justify breaking my "No Kit" Rule...........And it worked!!!
