Some PE railings for a certain ship beginning with T at 1/700 scale 
For Bob's racing G.B
The top 3 kits arrived today, so thats my stash for now, starting from scratch with all the paints, glues, putty's compressor / airbrush and all the other bits and pieces to start this hobby from scratch is pretty expensive I must say! haven't added it all up (Daren't) but it runs into hundreds :smiling: still I know I'm going to enjoy it.
There's a theme in my stash of late ww2 looking to get a doodlebug and some 1/48th scale base vehicles like fuel bowsers and starting trolley to create dioramas later, future ideas are for a Lakenheath F15 and F35 (my local Base)

Spotted these in the window of a local shop, Price was good so I couldn't resist.
A couple of kits cos i can still fully open the door to the modelling room and its about time i started trying my hand at building some bases 
I don't do ships, although I have a few in the stash,and submarines!! ( Too small for me), but I do like the look of that Varyag
Think this may be built In the foreseeable future :smiling4:
Shame these chaps aren’t the same scale but luckily I have a kit or two they might go nicely with….

Sold a few railway items and with the proceeds got these two. 
Evri just dropped this big parcel off
I've been looking for this for a long time - they have become harder to find, and prices have risen accordingly. I realised that if I wanted one, I'd have to dig into my pockets! Most expensive model I've bought in several years! Offers & counteroffers on ebay got this for £48 delivered. Not small - 467 parts .................

You did splash the cash didn't you Dave!
Good afternoon all
So a couple of arrivals for me, nothing exciting.
The book was a little gift from my mum when I went to see her last weekend.

Junior has done pretty well and below are the key items from a 'kit' perspective.....
@John Race - thank you again for the best wishes for Junior. He says thank you very much!

A bit annoyed - model was cheap, p&p high, wpuldn't have minded if had been packaged well. Revell boxes are flimsy at the best of times & this was a bit squashed - but nothing broken, luckily

Well, nothing very exciting, but seeing as there's so much "glass" in my current 111 build,I wanted to make sure it went in cleanly, without frosting.
I've tried PVA,Revell Contacta Clear and AK Crystal Magic.... and not been happy with any of them :disappointed2:,then i saw Phil Flory using this stuff....
.... he seems to get great results with it,so I'll give it a go... fingers crossed :thumb2:.
