Few bits

Mac valve for airbrush, never used one


Ships railings for practice before the real thing on KGV

 

[Bobby Conkers]

As I have no "bench", finally invested in a massive box to replace the nine boxes of tools and bits. £15, cantelever tray and a bit of a whopper.

And the headlamp mentioned in another thread. Came with a set of watchmakers' tweezers which seem pretty nice, better than my £1ers from the cosmetics shop.

Made a little purchase for an upcoming build. This is going to be one hell of a build when it gets under way lol

1/32 Brassin BMW 801 for the Fw190 F8

 

[GerryW]

Just had a delivery - new tweezers (£4.39) and batteries (£1.57) for the magnifying visor



Still waiting for a kit, so that I can test them all out :thinking:
The tweezers came from the same supplier that I use for watch tools, very keen on prices and a good attitude.

Found yet another bargain on evilbay and obviously had to get it.

1/32 Brassin Fw190 A8 Cockpit

 

[BattleshipBob]

I just love the Martini colours, would really have liked to get the 037 Stratos but there seems to be none in this country and I am a bit dubious about buying from overseas.

Very fast service from MyTinyWorld on Amazon - ordered Wednesday evening, delivered Friday

Wood edging for the base of my Knyaz Suvorov. 3mm x 3mm x 450 long! A long thin packet through my letterbox!

Love these books

Looks good Bob. That’s a Bayern isn’t it? Looks like Nessie in the background as well......

Not a big buy but important as I now have the paints I need for the figures to be included in my North African Vignette.

ATB.

Hi all,

I'm still around, but life and work has beaten me up a bit. Still on the search for bargains while reducing the stash too. I found a few since the beginning of the year. One for Mr. Benson and for € 22, simply irresistible,



Si knows I have a tick for trailers!!! Now one for the overall V2 project and for €18,50 I couldn't refuse,



This was also a deal for € 21, but too new for towing a BF-110 or Horten 229 in WWII,



Lastly, Ya gotta get over the river somehow,


With the other kit I have in the stash, we can now almost(?) cross the Rhine. Ok, not really....................

Prost
Allen

Some great finds Allen. Been looking for company trailers in my scale forever. Have a 1/87 Bailey but it doesn't have the ped. bridge. PaulE

New tool for me....

My old home made one was feeling cramper so I splashed out on big brother here.....it’s about A4 sized, well made, with a good lid seal......

Here is a size comparison with the old palette.....I find that I run out of room by the end of the project so the new palette should minimise that problem.

The new one is thinner, so should stay wetter longer. It also has a sponge base rather than a blotting paper type that I’m currently using. The old one will be retired to metallic use only......

New tool for me....

I'd be interested to hear how you get on with that Tim. I bought a small AK one to replace my home brew one (which, like you, I've demoted to metallics) but the paints absorb a whole lot of water through the paper. If I come to them the next day they are far too thin to use, negating one of it's advantages. Next time I use it I'll be trying 2 layers of paper to see if it helps.

These dropped today. I've not done a tank for a while as I'm not a big fan, but I'm a sucker for a new Tamiya kit



And some goodies hidden within the box. Some more flexi CA to replace the one that I destroyed trying to get the cap off, a top up on some mediums, a replacement for a blue I had issues spraying, and a few new colours.

Hi

ok, not very exciting, but what is exciting was the way I bought them - today we have come out of our lock-down so I could go to my local model shop, not only go to the shop, but go without a mask or social distancing!

who would have thought a year ago that walking into a shop, without a face mask would be so strange and exciting!
