Good haul Tommy ....... That Gun Tractor looks like it was designed by someone who was very drunk or had absolutely no concept of what a vehicle should look like.......... Or probably both.

[Guest]

Thanks Peter, Ive been after that kit for many years and have finally managed to bag myself one, going to stick it with the bronco 17pdr I`ve got in the stash, should look good together

[Guest]

Thanks Ian, looks like a really nice kit, I was going to get the Mirror .models version, I`m glad I held out for this one instead.

 

[monica]

nice haul Tommy ,must add that otter dose look interesting but strange or is the guy far out of scale,

 

[Guest]

Thanks Monica, never noticed that, he does look out of scale, I haven't even looked to see if it comes with any figures, I will now

As you see the picture you'll think I've gone mad and decided to build cars, well maybe just a little. This little beauty will have some extras though, in the shape of engines in the wheel wells to make it the 1962 Corvette Lola, the one Director Coulson drives from the TV show Marvel Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D


I've found a guy in America that does the moulds to cast the required engines, he also does the moulds to make extra engines and tail for a Globemaster so I could also do the "Bus"

He won't ship to the UK, the sets are just $10 each but then he wants $40 shipping, I've arranged for him to ship to my friend whilst he's over there for a month the end of July

I promised HWMBO I wouldn't buy any more kits until I had finished my Gato.


Just couldn't resist this as it was so cheap including postage.


Seller threw in the Nautilus Models Wooden decking.

Big Thank You Si,
big hug to you my friend,


I got my gargoyles,that Si had lefted over from Miss Angelina Jolie,oops mean Lara Croft,


Dio,and he very kindly said that he did not need and i could have for the postage cost,


and just over aweek ago were sent and i got them today,


and will be using in one of my owe predator builds coming up,


and not much of a buy ,but had to try it out is the super glue gel,


just great stuff for the cost of one tube being $5.oo I could get 10 tubes of the thing runny stuff,


this dose not get all over the place and put it were you wont it,and works very well,

I must admit that although not cheap, I now prefer the Cyano Gell to the liquids.


Gregg

 

[monica]

I think some times Gregg we do need to spend that little more with things


to make life much easier


just great stuff to use,

Just had the first of my new kits turn up, my plan is to swap most of my stash to the 1:32 Tamiya ones over time, I'm that impressed with them.


A few others bits and pieces snuck in as well

Now forgive the shameless plug but if your on Facebook you need to look up Mike Jolly via his Model kits for Less page, you can send him the details od a kit and he'll get back to you with a price the majority of the time cheaper than anywhere else and often including postage.


I paid just £93 for the Spitfire delivered in two days! He also runs a savings scheme where you can lay away kits or put money to one side in advance of kit releases, I've done this for the new Eduard F4 Phantom Good Evening Da Nang.


In my opinion his customer service is second to none.

These arrived from Hannants today, I've just always fancied doing an AS-90 and since seeing how good the Trumpeter Warrior kit is this was a no brainer. The CMK engine set is for an EE Lightning but that's not what I got it for initially, it's to act as a scratch build scale reference for a Rolls Royce Spey engine I'm thinking of building for another project I have in mind. I was inspired by the article in the link below,

I would have had a splurge on the Airfix VE offers but I blew my allowance on these and some stuff from Eduard's VE Day offers.
