Great haul Andy, have a fabulous day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW :thumb2:Hi all
So today I hit half a century.
The plan had been to take the family skiing at Christmas but COVID has put an end to that, so will have to wait for another year....
Nonetheless the day was brightened by a few arrivals.....

From my mum. Will never know how she managed to know what I wanted???:smiling5:
I think our very own AlanG will like this one!!
From my wife and kids (not all kit related but hey!)
Aniseed balls (1kg) - in case you're wondering
Possibly best of all - home made birthday brownie topped with chopped Kit Kats
From friends (I suspect my wife had warned them off any more kits)
50 small and one big one
Will do Tim, at least might not need a thick coat, ear muffs and gloves, god bless the heater lolReally nice looking booth Bob. You’ll have to let us know how it compares with the old one when in use....
Thanks Andy. Indeed. Here's hoping i can make it another 10 years. Did ok didn't I?? Best of all is that everyone on my house hats the taste of aniseed, so I'm guaranteed to have them all to myself!! :smiling5:HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW :thumb2:
50 eh?!! Well that`s a milestone for sure,but you know what they say these days......"50 is the new 40!!
Some lovely stuff you have been given there...... and some nice kits too!!:tears-of-joy:
All the very best mate,have a lovely evening,
Andy

Could there be fire then Andrew ?Hi all
So the first item below arrived today for my North Africa vignette. I was looking for some mesh for the the exhaust when I stumbled across this - my first major set of PE.
And after recommendations and advice from Laurie (thanks very much Laurie), I also invested this heat gun and some low flux solder - I hedged my bets never having used it before and got both paste and liquid.

It's a great book Jack, hard to tell which was the model of the real one at times .Modelling mojo yet to return, so when I saw this was being re-published, I put in an order. After a quick flick through, I'm fairly sure it will do the job!!
In this case only if I get it VERY badly wrong!Could there be fire then Andrew ?
Oh and Happy Birthday .
Honestly unbelievable!! And the most comprehensive reference photo collection I have ever seen!!It's a great book Jack, hard to tell which was the model of the real one at times .
