The second Book Nook I ordered has just arrived:

I think this was the cheapest one so I qualified for the 20% discount for buying two.

As far as missus Miko is concerned, I'm looking after these for a friend! Ha!

Tamiya group build anyone? to honor the passing of the great man?

Useful nippy things and cocktail sticks useful in many ways including painting very fine lines

Sounds like a plan......any rules you want to think of?

Provided it's a Tamiya kit, anything goes!

I don't normally post images of my latest purchases , mostly because I'm trying to use up my stash so I don't buy very much.


If you've read my latest post on the DH88 Comet, you will understand.
As I do mostly 1-32 scale figures this should last me a decade!

 

[Miko]

My tank stash is almost complete!



All I need is a Hobbyboss Panzer 38 (t) Ausf D and a Finemolds Type 89B I-Go

Nice Choice.Tempted myself to get a Char

Bit the bullet and bought a (relatively) cheap light box. When taking photos of models up to now, I've just been using bland backgrounds, eg: cardboard, white paper, etc, but not really happy with them, so a light box could be a nice upgrade, we'll see.
Got it off Amazon, Its a fold up one, bit like one of those festival tents that curls up into a small circle.
Its just over 24"x"24" (600+x600+mm) and I think its 24" (600mm) high too.
Comes with various backgrounds, white, black, blue, green.
The front and top had openable velcro panels.
Comes with two LED light strips.

 

[Geoffers]

Looks good Peter, I’m looking for to seeing some of your pictures when you’ve tried it out

 

[LeytonO]

I used the lights from an old one of these to illuminate my spray booth.
They do work reasonably well, few pitfalls which i will leave you to discover and overcome
