Had a change of plan for the logistics gb...... What i was going to do just wasnt exciting me

Hobbycraft have a 3 for 2 offer on airfix/revell...... So i got the scammel and churchill for the gb..... The opel and pak were the 3rd kit simply cos its one ive never done

The bear was an extra..... Cos i have a hobbycraft card i got it for 6 quid instead of 12 but i had a fiver voucher that needed using so it was only a quid......... Im sure great granddaughter will love it lol

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Ooh ,happy memories of building the Scammel and the Churchill!!
bought from Woolies for about 2/6 (two shillings and sixpence for our younger members- equivalent to 12.5p)

 

[PaulTRose]

Those were the days lol

An early Xmas present to myself, from our very own SMS, Thanx John!
TBH I was not expecting to get it until after Xmas, but it turned up this morning.
A Dspiae tool set, in the usual nice case, tweezers, nippers, various sanding sticks, scissors, glass file, a parts separator, scalpel and a panel line tool, which looks just like a fountain pen....etc, etc.

 

[PaulinKendal]

These three were a Black Friday purchase from Pedro Fernandez Works (about 20% off, I think).

Went under the tree as a present from me, to me - which are always the best presents, of course.

 

[Miko]

Hey guys, I've invested in some products to enhance my modelling experience!

All from Japanese company I never heard of 'Bucasso'

Less than fifty quid for a Japanese airbrush

Single action with a pressure regulator ahead of the trigger, comes with three needles 0.8, 0.5 and 0.3mm

and three different sized paint cups



Also a Dremmelesque rotary tool and a reciprocating sander, both variable speed USB chargable with cool little LED light to see what you're working on





If there's interest I'll do an unboxing review, they do seem good quality and the online reviews I've seen are positive

 

[Jim R]

Airbrush looks good. Good price. One of mine is a pistol grip, not the same make as yours. I find it very nice to use. I'd be interested to see what you think of it.

Post xmas treat for me!

I have some of these, they are superb! Had them several years now with no appreciable lack of sharpness - and haven't even unwrapped my spare set!
