Evening all,
Been rather quiet of late due to real life probs at the moment, but did manage to go to a model kit flea market in Ergolding today. It was just two of us as poor Anton was sick and had to rest. I wasn't there to buy any kits though. I was looking for reference books for WWI aircraft. I managed to find 4 that were really cool. They're in German, but have some interesting stories and pics too,
There were also 3 Wnw's kits for sale and I fought hard to quell the temptation. One kit, I already have and am currently building. The other 2 were an Albatross (like scotty) is building and an early Rumpler, that I had wanted. Common sense won the battle and I let them go. Then I thought about finding something for our Mr. Smiff's upcoming Japanese GB. Got lucky and snagged this with Eduard masks for € 15,
It's a 2000 release and in 1/72, but I'll strain my eyes for my Buddy Andy when I build it in July....

They were really trying with the pun in the magazine’s title there 
I used their paint hangers for years with no issues, only moved them on as they don't make ones that take MRP.
I have quite a number of HobbyZone modules and found them really good. As Karl said, the only issue I had is they don't do MRP storage, so just have those paints loose on their tiered shelving.
If you email them they will make them though.
They didn't make oil paint hangers when I emailed them so ....switched to EBMA hobby, and they're just a little better and a bit cheaper. (And are talking to me about oil paint storage.)
Evri delivery from 'The Works'
I only wanted some DAS, but I thought I may as well stock up on one or two other items! ( low-tack tape on the right ).
I have to make a confession. I'm a serial brush abuser! I start off with the best intentions, but I manage to ruin paintbrushes on a regular basis - it doesn't matter how expensive, or cheap they are - I forget to clean them properly or end up with CA on them. I always have a set of brushes in hand, so I popped a couple of sets in my trolley - I know some of you have brushes that are pensioners, mine struggle to reach their first birthday!

Ok, so this is to got with Eduard Weekend Hellcat I recently acquired.
As I got the kit so cheap in the auction I'm going to be able to bring it up to Profipack standards for cheaper that a Profipack kit (full decal set excepted). It wasn't the intention when I made the purchase but saw the prices, did a calculation, and thought I was duty bound to do it!

God that's absolutely tiny. You need to move up a scale so you can see some proper detail in it
Just in from 4D Model Shop - for my first-ever diorama!
Four sheets of Styrofoam, a bag of Sculptamold, two flexible mixing bowls (for mixing batches of Sculptamold), a couple of packs of tongue depressors (to stir and apply it), two Woodland Scenics rock moulds, some craft foam clay (to go in the moulds), a knife (for cutting the Styrofoam) and Gorilla Glue (to ensure I can still cut the Styrofoam when I've stuck it together).
More stuff on the way from Woodland Scenics.
