£60 all in Tony.I have no idea about prices on star war kits but I thought £60 seemed favourable for 5 large scale star wars kits and 2 1/72 planes.Anyways they brought a smile to my face as I skipped back to my van. :)
Bargain!!!!

Up with the birds this morning car booting and managed to grab these early bird specials
first off......you jammy git! :P wish i could find deals like that lol


i think you might find that the mellenium falcon kit is quite collectable, not seen one of those for many many a year


the TIE with the angled wings is quite nice.......did one of those a few years ago


ive got the twin set of TIEs and the STAP too


the STAP has a rep for being 'awkward'...one of those that needs three hands to put together but ive seen some great examples of it done

Thanks for the info Paul the falcon is still wrapped in its cellophane and unopened I might just keep it like that if it's a collectable.But I'll definitely be giving the others a bash.cheers John
 
The Cutaway Falcon is a 1996 issue and I have seen them going from anywhere £10 opened upto around £60. Nice bargains though.
 
nice haul John and i do hope to see them on the bench,and not just stashed away lol,:eek: :D


I never go to boot sales or op-shops,so who know what bargains ,one may miss, ;)
 
A visit to Alton Model Centre saw these come into my possession. The tractor unit is from Oxford Die Cast and makes an easy addition to a diorama after a bit of weathering and detailing. The coolant trolleys can be modified into any number of types of servicing carts for vehicles or aircraft and will be ideal for placing in a workshop, hangar or flight line scene.

Go for it Si ......... I'd like to see what you do with the 2CV ........ I bloke I worked with a few years back had one in his garage. He was tearing it apart, to fit Engine, transmission and running gear from a V8 Jag he had in the back garden. His plan was to have no front seats (there wasn't room anyway) and drive it from the back seat. I often wondered whether he finished it.
Just thought I would show what has been done in the Drag Race Circuit.

Just recieved these glue loopers. I've never used them before.
They are very good and make all your liquid glue issues easy...If they clog up. just take a lighter to it.

Been using them for a bit, they do make puting glue where it is meant to be easy.

Small by comparison to your amazing swag Scott o_O, but it's still like Christmas, as my re-entry model has finally arrived today -- the Airfix 1/12 scale 4.5 litre Bentley.


I feel like a dog with three bones -- can't wait to get started -- and d'you know what? I know I'm going to enjoy every minute of it!

I was toying with the Airfix 1/12 4.5 litre Bentley, but decided to try the Revell 1/24 kit. I may go for the larger model at a later date.
