Nice….you know Lotus stands for “Lots of trouble, usually serious” don’t you

Haha no, that's a new one to me Tim :smiling3:

 

[Red Dex]

Well it has arrived, looks good, very well detailed I have to say I’m impressed.

That looks rather nice.

Some "new" Plexiglas display boxes of different sizes

one already in use

and some Plexiglas, brass and aluminum parts that could be used as hobby tools.

They all come from a shop that has to close because of COVID related financial troubles. Someone, maybe, recalls my "500€ kit": they made the base.
My wife and me have been helping the owners in clearing their shop and workshop as they have to leave it by the end of the month. There are 30 years of work sediments to remove, meaning some cubic meters of Plexiglas, Perspex, aluminum and PVC slates and scraps. It's a sad task.

A couple of goodies to make life easier.

 

[AlanG]

I have the Xuron cutters. I think you'll like them

 

[Tim Marlow]

I’ve got Zuron 2175 B track cutters and find them excellent as well. Ideal for heavy duty sprue cutting. I actually bought mine for track cutting back in my railway days. Must have had them for around thirty years now and they are still going strong.

 

[Mark1]

Well I'm hoping they'll be an improvement on my £6 italeri jobbies! :smiling:

 

[Mini Me]

I do love it when folks buy "American"......thank you Gents for supporting our economy....I have been using the same pair of Xuron Micro Shears since the late 80s.......only had to re-sharpen them a couple of times. Well worth the investment. :thumb2:

The wallet Mark, the wallet...........................

The wallet Mark, the wallet...........................

I destroyed the old cutters trying to get the b#@#$@d open.

 

[Allen Dewire]

You Da man Mark, You Da man!!!!..............................You'll love the sprue stand............

 

[Guest]

They look nice there Mr. Smiff....I take it when the LEDs get dim, you plug the cable into the back of your head to give 'em more juice...Or??? What's the magnification on them Andy???...

My trigger finger has been at it again.......Dang evilbay, but I did get 2 kits I have always wanted plus one that just looked cool............


The recovery set is for my Famo and I've been after it for a long time. The MB kit just looked cool and has a mo'cycle too. The other kit I've always wanted was this,


Dragon re-boxed this and the title is a bit misleading. You get the 4 figs, tables, tools and folding stool, but you get 2 complete Maybach engines for the Sd.Kfz. 250. The box says engine, but should say engines......In my defense, I have 3 kits in evilbay for sale..........

Prost

Best clutters I've ever had Rick , bought then for PE , well with the money .

[Red Dex]

This just turned up, i ordered it months ago but was eventually reported lost and I was refunded my money, so I ordered the Nagato instead. Have just emailed the shop and they are sorting payment out.

 

[peterairfix]

One of these strange oddities I have done one a long time ago so I shall see what I can make of it I know the decals are shot but I have ordered a new set and it's a 1/100 scale

A late delivery from postie:

I won the Saab at auction, the same guy had the Bristol on offer - but I gave him a cheeky bid - and he accepted! - best of all, he gave me a refund for postage on one model! - Result! :thumb2:
Happy Dave

 

[Tim Marlow]

Just out of interest, how many parts in the Bristol? The box can’t be right, not in 1/72, surely?

Tim,
it means only 500 boxes produced!!! there are something like 30 parts in the tiny model. I'll do an inbox review of it - maybe tomorrow!
