Updated the library with 4 very good books! (the F.A.Q. Dioramas book weighs several kilos... it's one very good book for sure and I now have loads of ideas for future vignettes and dioramas!)

Also - Feist Books are having a "Super Limited Run" with a one-off reprint of their classic Panzerkampfwagen Panther.
Initially they only wanted to ship to US customers but after a lot of pressure from us in Europe they started taking pre-orders from us as well yesterday.
Andy from Andy's Hobby Headquarters is the one who made it happen so big thanks to him!

Big purchase yesterday, a 1998 ( I think) 1/144 Airfix Phantom for the huge investment of £1 !

Until I got it it’d never been opened, the box was still sealed

Not a bad kit Dave I built one a few years back.

A quick visit to the LMS today and a rummaging of the shelves of reduced items resulted in a few purchases. Making the most of it as when I relocate later in the year I'll be in a no model shop zone.:anguished:

Thanks Monica there's a few nicely detailed kits amongst them and they were nicely priced. Just need to find the time to build them but we are selling up and relocating so everything's up in the air.:anguished:

oh lol,do wish you luck with moving,
for me it was a nightmare,to get sorted and make it some what like I,had it set up,
that's why,i have done very little,I,m just not comfortable in the new spot,like a cat .you change homes,
takes time to settle in :fearful: and still finding it hard to get back into it lol,:rolling:

Nice jeep from Bronco. Beware though when you build this kit, the instructions have to cut off a light in the engine compartment but the instructions aren’t that clear about retaining it for use later on to use it on the front fender.
