Early delivery from postie - minor ebay purchases - these smaller models are getting harder to find..............

I have a Hasegawa Heianmaru submarine tender already waiting! ( That's the ship in the right background )

these smaller models are getting harder to find

Also harder to see. I think there is a connection there...

Early birthday pressie from the missus (are we the easiest people in the world to choose presents for? I think we must be - a never-ending list of little luxuries always to hand!)

This is a Neatfi XL 2200 lumens adjustable led lamp (along with my illuminated magnifier) - lovely job!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nice. Can’t beat good neutral light for painting. I have one very similar, as I am sure, do many others on here. I assume the adjustability is the angle of the light, not the colour temperature? I have taken to using mine perpendicular to, rather than parallel with, the front of the bench. I got fed up hitting it with the brush handle while painting LOL.

 

[Jim R]

A decent daylight light makes a huge difference to bench time and not just when painting. Money well spent.

A bit too small for me - AND the prices are way too high for my pocket!

Some nice looking figures there Steve!

Postie dropped this off - an ebay auction win....................

1/700 Resin Kimikawa Maru ( I think ) a WWII Seaplane tender. All Korean & Japanese instructions. A lot of clean up & scratching will be needed - Aoshima did a injection moulded, but that sells for silly money, even if you can find one. I have no info about this resin model, about maker, or age.

[Jim R]

Hi Steve
That is a nice collection for you to exercise your painting skills on. I like the Christmas Truce - he has the look of John Mills about him.

[BattleshipBob]

In between health issues, first armour for while

Not correctly advertised on Ebay so a bit cheaper, usual Tamiya quality

The four large characters at the bottom right, 工房飛竜, transliterate to Kōbō Hiryō, meaning something like Studio Hiryu or Hiryu Workshop. This page seems to have lots of for sale, but Google Translate doesn’t want to actually translate the page.

Google Translate doesn’t want to actually translate the page.

It worked for me Jakko - what language were you trying to translate to?
Pete

 

[Guest]

Japanese to English, and it refused to translate any of the text on the page.
