I rather like the aston martin. My shop here has one for like 82$ CAD.

I want one, but not at those prices, it's a model, not an actual car! (unless it was hand casted and shaped parts directly from the aston martin company, but even then...)

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Its normally close to £50 here, practically ripped the guys arm off when I saw it at £21!!!!

Sure no problem but I won't be starting it for a while I have other projects on the go at the moment so I think you might be done before me so I'll check yours out

The shop I got this from has also told me in a few weeks they are releasing the HMS Devonshire but I'll check that out first before I get that out to see how different it is

Trumpeter seem to be releasing a few British war ships at the moment and I'm hopping the will release an old R class

I was wrong. The canadian navy does not use the type 23 as the mainstay of the atlantic or pacific 'fleets'.

Having said that, I got my early birthday present today, in the form of the 1:32 scale Me-262 A1a, by trumpeter. I won't be starting this bad boy for a little while as I badly need to get caught up on the projects that I have sitting at idle...(but it will be ready when i am!)

 

[Guest]

Got these from the step daughter for my birthday yesterday.

Should make for a nice little European diorama.

Thank you Ian, hit the half century on Monday, no snow at the moment .. But waiting for it so I can get the dog out in it, he's made for the weather

I'd love to be able to do justice to a Lancaster ... Are you doing one soon? Be looking forward to that!

 

[Ian M]

Might be a while yet, but I will be doing them.

We have had enough of the "big city" and have started to look for a house in the countryside..... I can see this year being a challenge.....

I held out as long as I could but when faced with the box right there in front of me in Ideal Models in Toulouse I capitulated quicker than the French Army - oui mes amies, I bought the Kittyhawk 1/48 Jaguar. At €55 it compares ok with UK prices and I got an Eduard display base of a Japanese 1/48 carrier deck section of an aircraft lift, ideal for my Japanese 1/48 Torpedo bomber for the GB thing next year.
