My brother's been making Rally Cars - his first models for over 50 years, I've been advising him, the idea caught, and I fancied a track race car - I looked at 1/20 Formula 1 - prices :anguished: I then looked for Le Mans cars - prices :astonished: I finally settled on this:

After a long search - I got it off ebay, at just over £21 delivered - at the top end of my range :rolling:, but the prices of these things are rising pretty quickly!

Sculpt and mould look excellent on that one Steve. Very cleanly cast. Great subject as well. Horse shoe is possibly a bit over scale though

John,
what sort of plastic are they - flexible, or hard?
Dave

Steve - if your current horses are anything to go by this will be another stunner.
John - those ski troops are really nice. I used them on an Aerosan dio.

I have been shopping :smiling3:
So new naughty buys

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Some nice looking planes there Alex,
I`ve also been a bit naughty........
3 kits.......
Something OLD,if not the first kit i EVER made as a young lad,then it`s certainly close to it........ Just a bit of a trip down memory lane,it`s even the same "Bagged" example.....

Next,in line with my current liking for slightly unusual looking AFVs,another Mirage kit.......

Finally,and i have NO IDEA WHY!!:flushed:.........

...... guess i`ll be doing a little WW2 Diorama in the not too distant then!!:thinking:

That Renault UE will be tiny Andy. I did a 1/72 version for the Simon T group build and was amazed how small it was.

Sorry for the pic orientation. It was taken and saved in portrait mode.

Anyway...trying to branch out into new areas. Found this for a good deal on ebay. Extremely daunting and I don't think it will be touched for some time!
