Everyone loves a bargain I really liked that swap haul you got yourself, you really managed to get yourself some lovely kits Monica

I must say I do love a bargain and also a swap meet,I did not know of some of the others about,but so glad I did get told about them,


over the next 3 mths,I think there is about 3 ,but Im,good at the moment,and will pop along if there is some think I real wont or need,

ive got another GAZ-66 in the stash but thats a hard roof with a ZSU-23 in the back.....not sure what i shall do with this one, might do it loaded with cargo or bash it into a Dakar type racer

i agree......even if its not something i really want, if its at a bargain price i find it hard to turn it down lol.....why the loft is full of kits


i have a habit of searching ebay for stuff thats local so i can collect and pay cash and avoid postage costs.....had some real bargains


theres one guy a few miles away whos a bit of an amateur dealer, bought stuff of him so often we are are on first name terms and he contacts me if he gets stuff in he thinks i might be interested in

oh yes ,do total agree with you,about a bargain,and why, not,if your paining half or less dose not hurt to stash some away for a raining day lol,


and I tend to save up for the swap meets,so I real look forward to them,things are cheap ,but I will still ask for some off,they say yes or no,and Im on


first name with about 3 deals as well,the main ones I buy from ,as the next one in about 2 wks I wont have any ready for but thats ok as the next one is in June,


and the best thing is no postage and waiting oh how i hate waiting

The F15 is a really good kit Peter. I built one for the Tiger Meet sig a few years ago and have another in my stash. The only criticism I have is you don't get a bomb load in the kit.

I think so, it's not really something that I would be interested in but I saw it on the shelf and took a peek in the box but resistance was futile...even with Revell's Shackleton next to it.

well got these off a chap I know,postman Davie,


who I just found out has a 3D printer, which will come in handy when I need things at a high I cannot find,


Like Blondie that I had to look for ,for weeks before finding someone who could print one as a fair pries ,one


place said $120.oo could buy a pup for that lol,


so I have a TARDIS,and earrings, so I can be a bit of a greek, wearing them,and a wee K9 to go with the other


TARDIS ,I know he is a little big but it works

Postie dropped this off on Friday, had my eye on it for a while and ended up getting it for £3 something plus post which I thought was fair.

I've got the same kit Phil. It was going to be part of a dio for my Dora, but I was really disappointed with the figures. There's very little detail & in my box they didn't match up to the box art.


Still, for 3 quid....
