Latest Acquisitions (2023)

I have the earlier iteration cloths Karl. I’m sure these sponges will make it easier to get a consistent finish. The only advantage the cloths have is that they are colour coded to match the polishes.

The Tamiya cloths are 3 times the price of these too. Had both in my basket for a while
 
Must admit, after I bought mine I thought “I could do this with close weave handkerchiefs” LOL.
 
Been after one of those for ages, and now that Historex stock Kilgore figures and this was back on stock - had to get him - 1/10th Seaman USS Arizona;

My modest haul from the Hinckley show . Despite telling myself I was only going to buy supplies as I have more than enough kits to be going on with , I managed to go twenty yards before I bought thisBE8C7B18-A9E2-483D-9D40-E6A09E4E3FA1.jpeg9EC219DE-404B-496C-93AB-D7DAF7F5472E.jpeg
its the old Heller kit but its a really nice one and with the benefit of Airfix decals ( heller decals are usually a bit dodgy) , bargain at £3!
Also got some brass tubing and fine paintbrushes and just on the way out at the end of the day got this bargain for £15 5A47CC64-EDCF-4EBA-8616-378A94C592AB.jpegAAE786DB-9186-4B85-950B-F7AB8DFD6F1E.jpeg3F183615-7D86-42BB-8A29-42874D17326D.jpegACBC9243-3019-4992-89CE-601B7C0554E9.jpegFA0E97AC-9ADF-4F25-A7E1-20A581C830AA.jpegB5095ABD-650D-4650-A51A-2AF9643F2677.jpeg
The Tamiya zero is an older tooling but still a nice kit and came with the SBS resin cockpit , eduard pe fret , brass machine guns and resin wheels ! I’m a bit confused though ( i know , it doesnt take much !) , the resin wheels are much smaller in diameter than the kit ones , in fact they look TOO small so these might be going on ebay , possibly with the resin cockpit too.

Heard of cars, planes, ships, tanks, trains and a whole raft of other things getting names..... But NEVER a spray booth......:thinking::thinking::thinking:

Where's Matron when you need her....:tongue-out3:

A deflatable Linda Lovelace eh……..better than an inflatable one I suppose…..
 
I've tried several methods for gluing clear parts,and not been 100% satisfied with the results.My Blenheim's Cockpit canopy comes in two halves,so a quality join is important.
I saw this in an email from John last week,so thought I'd give it a go....

Great service from Ken Bromley arts.
 
One of my favourite brushes is a pro arte 202 that I got in a mixed pack somewhere. I've bought all sorts of new ones but tend to pick that up for most things!
