Bob,
I was looking at the tool clamps the other day it will be interesting to see what you think of them.

So I now have every shade of Olive Drab that Mr Color make :smiling5: and something for the P-47 I'm building

Also this little set. With 9 figures and a Jeep, there should be something I can use for my refuelling scene.

A bit of an indulgence, but I've found my dirt cheap files so useful for cleaning up parts that I thought I'd invest in a decent one, which is even smaller and finer.

And from a rival shop, a top up of my most used sanding sticks & gloss, a few different strengths of decal softeners, and one of their washes to try out.

Good haul there Bob and Andy......
Nice to see SMS Konig Bob. The bell from her sister ship, SMS Grosser Kurfürst was found in a garden hedge in Eastleigh a few years ago! Konig is still at the bottom of Scapa Flow.....

I have been looking for one of these for a while now.

Well actually I was wanting the excavator model but no one in the UK had one and I could not be bothered to wait for a ship to come from Japan and the other day I was reading about the crusher model and found out there is a bucket in the kit. On looking in the box it seems that it is the excavator model kit, the only difference being an extra sprue in the box for the crusher part and a picture of the crusher model on the box top.

Nothing Exciting, but going to be essential for my current project;

This has to be the best superglue i have used for resin, excellent bond, but be warned you dont have very long to get things positioned, bonds in less than 30 seconds !


Set of metal files for the resin;

I got the 3d printed dash decals that I ordered today.

I have to say I am impressed with them as they really stand out, unfortunately they have sent the wrong ones as I asked for a set to fit the ZIL trucks but they sent ones for Gaz trucks, as they were cheap I will keep them as I will probably buy a Gaz model at some stage or perhaps they may fit one of the other trucks I have under the bench.
I also got a packet of these.

Makeup applicators, cheap as chips and will come in handy.

Andy.

Liking those 3 d decals for the dash Andy, they look great., where from please ?

 

[outrunner]

Thanks John, I got the from here mostly for aircraft though.

Andy.

Got this for a very good price at an ebay-auction, P47D (1/48), something I had on my list for a long time :hugging-face:


And another 109 book for my collection, some nice color-schemes and stuff on late 109's :thumb2:


Very happy!
Cheers, Steven

Hi all

Some modest arrivals, 40% of which (right hand side pair) are the paint for my North Africa Vignette Pz II..

The other 60% of this order I'm laying the blame fairly and squarely on Tim Marlow for, as they somehow forced their way into my shopping cart on John's site. For those of you who've seen his 1/72 S Model Pak 36 build, you'll know why.

ATB.

I seem to be turning into a Zvezda fanboy. Hot off the press, their latest release flew in from John today.

Although when you open the box, it looks half completed already :smiling5:

For the first time I'm planning to add some aftermarket items to this like 3d cockpit decals and other bits & bobs, but obviously they are a bit thin on the ground just yet. A masking set for the digital camo would be nice too!

 

[Guest]

Another Sherman for me:

View attachment 410437

Plans for this are, once again, to not quite build it as the boxtop would have it

 

[papa 695]

Postman just dropped these off, I can now carry on with the Spitfire.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Some ship bits, me hearties

PE railings etc for the Tamiya KGV



AK paint sets, USN and RN, plus weathering stuff, already have the German set




a ebay bargain, luv the pre dreadnought stuff:tongue-out3:



Had a very nice refund when I swapped energy supplier, so bought these and two battleships but they are on the way and that's it kit wise. unless I find a bargain or two :thumb2:

 

[Guest]

Two more for the collection plus some upgrade decals.
