Looks good Bob!
I sometimes get the picture issue..... In my case I have come to the conclusion that I've not quite rotated the phone enough to make it 'realise' I've got it a different way up..... Just a thought.

Ah bob I feel your pain ,but I sorted this without help and abuse from the youngest family member ,you know how it goes ,surprised you can turn it on....shouldn't be allowed out on your own ,assuming your phone is similar goto your album find the rouge picture press on the pencil icon thingy then prod the rotation thingy(two arrows chasing each other round in a circle)when its where you want it poke the save word hey presto job done. Right im off to ask if there's a off button because I can only see the on one or is it best to say nothing and leave it to go flat. Dave
OK chaps, so a 'few' more acquisitions this past week.
You'll note the following with these latest additions:
Oh...and these came in seven parcels...and there are five more on the way!
Enjoy!

You have to love a Centurion and Vespid kits are very nice. This is the Deluxe version and so comes with a metal barrel and 3D resin printed canvas covered effect mantlet.
The bags contain two 14 piece WWII British artillery crews and kit for my wargaming.
More reinforcements for my my German forces, albeit I did over-order the mortars as thought here were only two per box! The LeFH18s are very nice for what they are, as I already have two on the shelf of doom. Both sets gets good reviews on the Plastic Soldier Review site.
Another big order from @john ...actually my biggest ever....let just say I have more than made back my forum membership fee this year. Great service as always. He promptly answered questions on the pre-order process and then, even though I only ordered late Wednesday night, I had it by Friday.
The Wespe is for wargaming, the P-38 and IL-2 complete my WWII wingy thing collection (I think!!
) and I have always liked US Gun Trucks!
The wet palette was sold c. 40% off, as seconds, due to a cracked lid but nothing that is not easily dealt with.
These three though are probably the purchases I am most pleased with.
The Eduard kit was offered for a low 'buy now' price or wait for the auction to run its course. It was actually 20% cheaper than as new and only £10 more than a single new kit...so it would have been rude not to 'buy now'!!
The two Hummels were courtesy of some lucky eBay bids and although from different sellers, the pair cost the same as one did brand new when first released....at least that what Scalemates and the price on the end of one of the boxes strongly suggest! These have the newer link and length tracks, rather than rubber bands!! Again, I was therefore virtually forced to buy them.
You'll note the following with these latest additions:
- I've acquired mostly new kits, rather than the usual eBay auction wins;
- quite a few kits are for my wargaming collection, which I've not bought for in any volume for some time;
- some are post-1945...that's right.....not WWII!!!!
- and most importantly.................I have largely returned to the one true scale that is 1/72!!
Oh...and these came in seven parcels...and there are five more on the way!
Enjoy!

And that's your take away from this.....not that there are 12 kits......and especially how on earth I managed to get them into the house!?!?!?
:smiling5: :surprised:
It was the ONLY thing I could pick a fault with mate!! :tired: :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:

At least your postie will never be out of work lol
Heard Andrew had been buying the bumper book of tunnel making and the great escape!And that's your take away from this.....not that there are 12 kits......and especially how on earth I managed to get them into the house!?!?!?

Now that did make me laugh!!!! :smiling5: :smiling5:
Actually, I think only a couple of these were delivered by Royal Mail at most!
A couple of extras dropped off the crane is for my mk2 transit conversion and some pipes for my deltic I know it says for a class 37 but I couldn't find any deltic ones so they are close enough. 
Keep looking back on the product you found this one, I'm having a good clear out of stuff that's been sat around

Thanks John. Don't worry I had a good look but was very strong and resisted temptation!!
:smiling5: Seriously though, thanks again for the time you have taken with my two most recent orders.

Thanks for that - Right price, but wrong delivery charge - I'm setting myself a top price of £12.50 delivered ( each ) - it may take a while, but I'm a patient man............

just picked up the Dapol 'Fighter Pilot' - same class as 'Biggin Hill' for £10.50 inc,
I had a £5 Hobbycraft birthday voucher to use, yes it's taken me a month to do it but what the hell! I was going to let it go but thought sod it, let them pay for something! Well SWMBO had to throw in an extra 100 pennies towards it. :smiling5:
I was going to order it online, an extra £6.95 for postage... uh no! Had to go to Yeovile anyway!
Hopefully I can do a better job than what I done nearly 40 years ago.
Let's see how a 48 year old kit holds up?!
