Probably a better thing to build that that Protar Ducati.

Nice :thumb2: But you really enjoyed that protar:smiling5:
Not sure if this is a kits only, or any model related bits thread, but anyway grabbed some proper CA and debonder, acrylic gloss varnish, nickel silver rods and some wet and dry sheets today (1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000). Most of it from my local model railway shop. The sheets were a pound each from an auto spares shop. I figured I'd glue them to sticks, or wrap round files.

No anything you buy for modelling Dale .
Neat idea with the sanding sheets .
I use a coffee stirrer with a smear of CA then place a sheet down and glue the stirrer to it, then trim.Being so narrow in width it's perfect .
That's a brilliant idea.... The only question is why have I never thought of it!!
Great idea John. I'm grabbing a handful from Costa every show and event I visir in future
Oorah!I`m starting to run out of Vietnam related AFVs :anguished:.... HOWEVER.....
... I had completely forgotten about one of THESE......
My,my,my..... It`s one i looked at many moons ago,and at that time i also loved the look of it...... but i wasn`t into Vietnam stuff then:rolling:.......
..... but that was then,and this is now!!..............
............. And although i quietly sneaked it into my "Watch List"........ Rach spotted it,and bought it for me!!:surprised::thumb2: ,
Following that,i then purchased these.....
Not completely correct for the era,but some of it will be useful!
This should help my Vietnam fix continue for a while yet then?
Don`t ANYONE tell me that Steve,(Airborne 1),recently bought the same stuff!!
Andy
Have the second but will DEFINITELY look for the first - you're surely one-up on good kit now Andy ----- BUT (Do you have an Ontos?) NB This is not a competition (at least not until I'm winning!)
Steve
OMIGOD..... I`m watchining an ONTOS as we speak.... it`s not you i`m bidding against is it?!!:anguished::astonished:
Bidding? Ha, Ha, Ha - I already have one My Precious!!!!! Read and Weep - The Force is strong!
Morning all
So these two arrived whilst I was off away on holiday.
These are paperback reprints published by the Tank Museum of the original 1989 versions . Full story here - https://tankmuseum.org/article/british-armour-in-the-second-world-war-crowdfunder/. I wasn't one of the original backers and can't remember how I found about them now but as I didn't have them already I thought I'd take a punt on a pre-order.

Well,so do I..... now!!
That just leaves two more additions required for my "Nam stash".......
...... And one of those is already en route
So following on from my books, there have been some more arrivals whilst I was away - this time to my mum's as I knew we'd be away at the time I placed the order.....in the long tradition of the forum I'm blaming other members for these....
......plus four purchases today which I have to hold my hand up too....

--------------------------------------
These I have to take responsibility for as three of them I plan to use for my North Africa diorama base.....much cheaper than specialist modelling paints and being tester pots for household paints will be pretty thick, so will hopefully go a long way......
View attachment 432530
These I'm blaming Tim Marlow and Mickc1440 for. When I suggested having a go at static grass they suggested tufts instead. I did have some but was running low and so followed Tim's recommendation on the brand.....first impressions are very good and at a very reasonable price too!! :smiling3: They also do some flowers and other things to and don't charge P&P either!

The one and only John Race will have to take responsibility for these after he recommended them, again some will be for my North Africa Dio but will no doubt come in useful for other builds!

Lot of paint and tufts there Andrew…..great stuff. I’ve been using Test pots for wargames scenery and groundwork for ages. It also dry brushes well .
I got the idea of Mel Bose. I've even got a scrap of cardboard with as a quick swatch with a lot of the tester pots we got when we moved in and did the house up five years ago...quite a of which will prove useful at some point
The tufts are really good, I've found another supplier too called Gamer Grass who also do some really nice ones that are irregular shapes, like tim I use them all the time for my figures.
G
That's right blame me:smiling3:, unfortunately there not flammable, sorry didn't I tell you
:thumb2:Hope they suit Andrew, well made and flow well, need a little thinners for ground cover .
Nice Books,nice paints.....nice stuff.......
but for me,the best of the lot.........
THAT MUG !!......... I WANT ONE !!
:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:,Andy......... but quite willing to be referred to as "Andrew" if drinking out of one of those!!)
