Hi Scott I'm so jealous what you have there ( a few I could do with myself! I have a dragon 1/35 hetzer ( partly built ) and a 1/35 mauder still boxed in my stash ( idea is when I get time to do a winter scene with the two tanks lying in wait ( ambush ) some germsn crew working on one tank ( refuelling re arming etc ) and some resting etc


Now I seen your goodies my ideas got bigger


You lucky so and so


Well done you

My haul from the Plymouth show yesterday


View attachment 104139

I Did want the 222 but this was the closest I could get still it looks good View attachment 104140

this wasn't what I actually wanted as it was in a different box but I took no notice of the smudged biro writing on that box , still it cost pence and is all there and it could end up a burnt wreck in North Africa View attachment 104141

ive got a nice little dio in mind for the market garden figures and I see a movie scene with the home disposal team View attachment 104142

ive wanted one of these for ages and this was a bargain at £20 with resin extras and an instruction sheet on improving the build View attachment 104143

ever since someone on here built one of these ive been after one and always been put off the price but at £55 I think that was quite good

View attachment 104144

And last but not least I couldn't come away from a show without at least one classic hurricane kit

Great day out Alan and it looks like you blew the cobwebs outta the wallet I brought the Meng bomb disposal kit myself last week looks a nice little kit even down to the xbox 360 controller

You now John I had never even noticed the controller


Yes the wallet did get an airing out or should that be wringing out

John, are you going to join in the large scale SIG? Hope so.


Graham: Nice. Hope you do a build thread of that.


Postman came with this today, Thanks to John at SMS.View attachment 104362

thought it would look nice with its sister.

no not an antipodean version! If any one knows why when this photo is the correct way up on my smartphone and on my laptop, why it keeps showing arseupwards on these forum pages!!!


Also got some crock clips and some AK British Army paints to try out.

I'm having that problem when posting photos with my iPhone.What I do is edit the photo on my phone by rotating it from upright all the way round and back to upright.Then when I post it,it appears the right way up!.A bit of a bind,but it works.

 

[monica]

o like the look of that one Ian and will look forward to seeing it on the bench,

My local LMS had a re-stock of True Metal paints so I bagged a tube each of Steel and Aluminium. I bought the paint rack too but my girls will give this to me for my birthday next week. I bought the VAB 4x4 in Brest last week while on a business trip. I was sad to hear that one of the model shops in Brest closed after the owner died, I had been meaning to go to his shop for ages as the last time I was there I spotted a Hasegawa 1/72 Jaguar in DERA raspberry ripple colours.
