Nice haul Pete, was it as good as usual. Couldn't make this year as had Christine's Birthday Lunch .
Latest Acquisitions (2023)
- Thread starter John
- Start date
I took a break from the diorama and threw it together this afternoon actually. It's even in primer! They could certainly teach some kit manufacturers a thing or two about sharp moulding, engineering and fit.She is indeed Andy......not that I have much of a choice!:smiling5:
I used to do Warhammer in my youth, when it was purely fantasy....I have no idea what the Age of Sigmar genre is....and I have no idea what that is and where the machine ends and the human begins.....assuming there is a human in there somewhere......quirky is one word word to describe it.:surprised:
Will be interested to see what it looks like when you get around to it.

Andrew
Will take some shots and start a topic tomorrow all being well.

Forget the kits and add ons - show us what you made from the Toblerone.....Good morning all!
So as most of you will know, today is Father's Day here in the UK and below is what I woke up to!
Although she is still at school, Junioress has a very good part time job and so she gave me a very generous budget for this year, along with some help from Junior.
Whilst some of it is run of the mill, I used most of her generosity to treat myself to things I could not ordinarily justify - two examples being the Churchill tracks and the box in front of the Zero, which is a long out of production (and not cheap) resin upgrade set for my 1/72 Halifax bomber.
I also used it as an opportunity to get some of AK's 3rd Gen paints, which I have heard great things about. I have to stick to water based paints as my set up is in the kitchen, ruling out lacquers!
All in all I'm very pleased with haul...........not least the giant bar of Toblerone!
Oh and wasn't it nicely presented too!
G
You are lucky, nothing for me.... :loudly-crying:
G
See what happens John when we let him out on his own.....
G
Yes there's no stopping himSee what happens John when we let him out on his own.....
Sorry Ian @Ian M. Will refrain from rambling.
Too late.... Half of its already gone!
It was a lot quieter than last time John. I overheard a couple of traders complaining and saying they won't bother coming again. Didn't meet anyone I know, although I thought I saw Andrew but he denied being him, and I saw someone I thought was Pete Low but I was upstairs and he was down - couldn't find him later.
Pete
Well I certainly don't want to see what you made from that half!
Pete
Here's my latest acquisition, not a model but it's 1:1 model...
Boot is HUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE! Not difficult after owning a Peugeot 308.

Not usually an EBay buyer, but fancied a couple of jets…..got these for about the retail price of the Mig on its own……delivery in two days as well. Pretty impressed.

On another forum, someone mentioned that Richard Hunnicutt’s standard work on the M4 Sherman and other American medium tanks was being sold on Marktplaats, a Dutch eBay-like site (and actually acquired by eBay long ago). Though I already owned the 2015 reprint, I wanted an original edition because the reprint’s print quality is notably lower than of the other original books I have in this series. So for €45 including postage, I got it in the mail today
There’s even the original receipt in it from 1996, when it was purchased from Chris Evans Books in Birmingham, UK, for £65 plus £10 p&p

That was a hell of a lot for a book then Jakko, and the postage was extortionate…..
So I need to ask where you them from..???
:smiling5:
Thanks for the heads up Dave. Just bought the USS Pegasus kit.
Now that wake will be a challenge, won't it?!

I've been looking at the bits, and puzzling about which way to display it!
Dave
Just be creative and I’m sure it’ll come to you……So I need to ask where you them from..???
