Wow, Superquick! That’s state of the ark technology Bobby. They must be fifty years or so in production now. They build up well if you touch in the cut card edges with paint, though they are a little 2D in appearance.
Latest Acquisitions (2022)
- Thread starter John
- Start date
it not often I post on this tread - spending most of my time sculpting means yhat I don't buy a lot, but what do you think arrived in this box?
The answer is that these little boxes did (with lots of packing paper)
the real interest is what is in the title boxes... Motivated by the fun of the flats I started, I ordered a few more from Germany, two sets;
The first is a beer cellar scene;
which I plan to turn into a 3d flats scene, something I have never done before, like this example off the Berliner Zinnfiguren website:
the second set is slightly topical given yesterday was the 70th anniversary of Qeen Elizabeth's acsention to the throne; a complete set of Englisg kings and queens since William the Conquerer:
The photos are all screen shots off the Berliner Zinnfiguren we site.
all of the figures are 30mm, but really besutifully etcheded and cast - I hope I can do them justice when I start to paint them.

I will be really interesting see how you get on with these. A couple of questions if I may Peter. Have you got a link to the site? How much did duty add on?

Well I was going to guess a pack of plasters and a box of push sticks.....
Sorry. I'm bad, I know.
Hi Tim
here is a link to their website - the range of flats is amazing. https://www.zinnfigur.com/
regarding duty, they surprised me by actually deducting the German VAT, at the moment, but things will change within a year or so, we do not have any VAT in Guernsey so the price I paid was 19% less than the website price.

That sounds almost too good to miss Peter. I’ll have to have a good look. Thanks for the heads up :thumb2:
Smartarse LOL.
The postman cometh! I can't wait to play with the IBM Fw190s; they are stunning.
Why so many Panthers?! Its my club 2022 build. If anyone lives in or nearly Solihull, we meet on the last Tuesday of every month in the 10 High Street Nec, Hampton-in-Arden, Solihull B92 0AA England. Anyone is more than welcome

I have that many counting Jagdpanthers.
Don't get me started.......I got addicted to those when Trident first brought 'em out.......just couldn't stop buying them! Ended up with nine in the stash and one built up.........beautiful model except for the skinny gun barrel.....supposed to be an 88.
I've been using one of these at work and I'm very impressed, so I've bought one....
I don't know when I will use it in anger but it was on offer (£238)from the rain forest so I went for it.
Here's something I printed on it ,in three parts (rotors, fuselage and skids)
There was no clean up apart from removal of supports
I can't go into any more detail because of Non Disclosure Agreement .
