[The Smythe Meister]

Hi all

So following on from my mystery arrival...I ordered this masking set, which of course gives you an what the general subject matter is but I don't won't to completely give the game away until the big day!

If you do manage to work out what it is please don't say!

I know!! ....
.... It's something with lots of tiny windows and Hieroglyphics for recognition...
.... Simples

Latest parcel from Poland...

Needed some new micro saw blades. the older ones are a bit "crumpled" shall we say.
Some nice new nippers. AK for all the general chop work and the Dspiae (who thinks these names up?).
The AK give a pretty good cut but the Dspiae! Under half a millimetre thin slices off a sprue. Totally flat and so smooth they look polished.
While I was ordering those, this 'fell' into the basket.

Are they panzer I in the back?...

You’ll love the DSPIAE nippers. I think I save a good hour per kit on clean up time using mine.

Tanks not included. Too bad.

Good haul. Expecting something grey and red in the future then Bob…….
Just out of interest, what’s the burnishing fluid for?

One of his cats I think Tim :smiling2:

So decided to open up the safe and extract a few shaekels and send away for this...

This morning the post room here at Race Towers were having a early morning sleep when suddenly steps of the postman woke them up.
A mad rush to the door revealed

Thanks to the suggestion I'll be fully armed next time with new CA .
Now raining :crying:

The booklet inside the box gives a very good overview of what they could carry. and what they weigh. Not sure I can persuade myself to build two German tanks...(famous last words).

Hmmm.

The old Tamiya Pz. II kits w/the DAK figs are pretty cheap. Or, you could load it up with 200L fuel drums, or.............

Belated BD gift from Grand Daughter and Grand Son in law........

A bit out of your scale there, huh Buddy!!!...

 

[Mini Me]

Yeah Allen, Close....but no Cigar, as they say. Not keen on Sci Fi models either, But I do enjoy the Star Wars series of "flicks"......so I will build it at some point. Glad it is only 1/72 scale.......Ill have to find a place to display it when finished so the "kids" can have a look see at the end result.

i keep spotting these nippers on that well known rainforest site... if memory serves there's a pair in my basket ready for 'I need some christmas idea from you' ..

This builds up into a brilliant X-wing, did one a few years ago, and it's still on of my favourite builds..I'm sure there's pics on here somewhere..
