I'll have a look around as I'm sure I've still got a few Russian soldiers I didn't use for my T-34 dio a while back, they may be of use.. (I'm sure there was a standing one in there).

Freshly delivered from Hannants..(cheaper than all the one's I found over the various site , rain forest, fleabay..etc)... Now I can restart work on my Zero for the GB..
One of my favourite shops, Axminster Tools & Machinery, is closing their local branch in Nuneaton and having a sale - everything 20% off, including some stuff that's already discounted. I picked up a couple of cans of airbrush cleaner and this:

Great company to deal with Pete, I remember when they had a black and white printed catalogue, long before they had the lovely coloured one. Bought a lot of machinery from them for my joinery shop.
Yes, that catalogue was my Xmas wishlist for years. I bought a belt and disc sander from their shop in Axminster High Street in about 1990. A real rabbit warren of a shop, seemed to go on behind three other shops each side, and out into some outhouses as well.
A great shame they're closing the branch, not only for those of us who loved to shop there, but also for the staff, all of whom are over 50 (a long way over in some cases) and with not many local opportunities.

Hmmmm, "what's that?" I hear you say....
.... anyone remember that IKEA cabinet, with the 3glass shelves, I perloined a while back? Questions were asked in the house,(no,not That one!!
),If you could get extra shelves.I rang our local store,but they said "no" :sad:
However,a dabble on Etsy and I found a seller :smiling3:, not glass,but extremely good,clear,and perfectly cut toughened perspex.So, £75 for the initial unit,£45 for the extra 4 shelves and you end up with this...
8 platforms in total (including the base),spaced out at the moment,but as it fills, the smaller planes will easily fit 2 per shelf:thumb2:.
All in all I'm quite pleased :smiling3:

Believe it or not,Rach is quite impressed with it :thumb2: ...
... and,to be fair... What's not to love?!!:nerd:
Well I've been and gone and done it. These detail parts have just arrived for my 1/700 Airfix Titanic (same as Academy) kit proposed build. Have feeling I may have bitten off more than I can chew with my first ever floaty thing build. Still to sort out lighting, including navigation lights and some sort of rigging material - any suggestions as to what sort of "wire" to get for the rigging would be greatly appreciated.
By the way the IKEA cabinet is ideal to showcase our creations - mine is only quarter used at the moment.

That's a lot of 'etch!
You are not kidding Andy and most is really small and looks fragile. Never used PE before so alot of reading required especially when to fit things like the railings, pre paint or fix then paint, fit the wooden decking after replacing all the ladders or before. This is going to be a looong build and I can see loads of questions for the assembled collective.
