Hi,
yesterday I got some brass rods, 20 sanding sticks and the scraper/scriber tool set that @Andy T recommended to me. Thanks Andy! I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Best regards,
Andi

Couple of new purchases for me.




Little blokes on horses. Took advantage of the 20% off deal on Victrix last weekend…….



Got some flags for them as well. These are a little tricky to use, but are superbly printed…..

Also just been to the Salisbury show and came back with these…..


Pleased with these. The French stuff is a bit different and the Dauntless is the earlier incarnation of the kit Andy did for the carrier GP I believe….

I didn’t take any pictures at the show. It took enough effort just to get myself around….let alone carrying a camera….good show though.

The Mail Man dropped these off this week. I heard Silly Putty is good for masking Models I guess I’ll find out. Also I needed more paint.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Silly putty is great for masking models, as is Science putty and physiotherapy putty……they are all the same things…..

I have wanted a Lumi Task Lamp for a long time, but as they are rather pricey I restrained myself.
Well yesterday Mrs G and I were in the art shop, and she calls me over, and says look at this, showing me a Lumi Lamp, just what I had wanted, and she says, now wait for it, why don't you get one, well not wanting to look a gift horses in the mouth, and always wanting to do what I'm told here it is.
Happy camper.:smiling2:

Can only echo what Jim said. I love mine.

 

[peterairfix]

My one and only boot sale purchase but on opening I found all the glue and paint (witch I won't use but I will the glue)
£7

 

[peterairfix]

A 1/350 uss enterprise lighting kit this is for the original or pilot version of the kit

 

[Andy T]

All the way from Poland. Should see me through until stock gets to the UK.

 

[Jim R]

Thanks to Andy T for "persuading" me to spend some modelling pennies :smiling:

Some scribing tape to use instead of my usual Dymo tape. The Dymo tape is rather too stiff and sticky. Also a set of scribing chisels. They are not the best quality but were cheap and actually work well.




Thanks Andy :thumb2:

 

[Andy T]

Always happy to guide a friend into spending money.... :smiling5:

There are times such as this that they really can surprise you. Well done Mrs G. An illuminated modeller is indeed a happy chappy

Just received a full set of wooden decking for my 1/350 lusitania and I would like to thanks mimi me aka Rick for all his help in acquiring these decks as scaledecks don't ship to the UK for some reason

 

[A_J_Rimmer]

WOOHOO! I had some birthday money left over and for a laugh, joined the Airfix Club. Not sure if there was any real point but I'm looking forward to getting my box.

Cheers!

 

[peterairfix]

Although not of the period a set of seat belts for my brabham

 

[Andy T]

Some paint for the 6R4 and a replenish of sanding sticks



And I can't resist these 48th scale military miniatures

 

[rickoshea52]

Just in for my Stuka and this months AMW with a build article on Airfix’s new Chinook (AKA flying death banana). I’m contemplating getting one and doing it as 684 or 712 cab when attached to 230 sqn in Northern Ireland.
