:smiling5:Your probably right John....I’ll prepare some meals and freeze them....and they can always forage around the garden for small birds and insects:surprised::smiling5:

The Tiger II was on offer from a Spanish online model shop, reduced from €65 down to €41 and with some paints mixed in with the order postage was free.

I bought myself a second-hand Tamiya M561 Gama Goat.

View attachment 313367

New in the box, though, and I read it builds up very easily, though it’s also missing a bunch of details in typical Tamiya style. More fun for me, I suppose. For a given definition of “fun” anyway Luckily I have the Tankograd book on this and the M520 Goer for reference, and a recent Chieftain video on YouTube should also come in handy.

Some great additions gentlemen. I got a tube of Tamiya plastic polish :loudly-crying::loudly-crying::loudly-crying: came from the far east in less than 7 days though :smiling2:

I decided that I wanted a 0.2mm nozzle airbrush, but as I didn't want to spend a lot of money for something that will only see limited use, I has a look around, and bought this..................

Yes, from ScaleModelShop ( note the name on the side! ) SMS-091. Nice price, less than most models!
It has a substantial heft to it, good finish, the threads are tight, and smooth - it even comes with a quick release coupling!
I've had a little play with it - just using water, and the operation seems easy, but I will be able to give a full review once I've had some paint through it.
Had a stock up with some consumables as well ( no point in paying p&p on one item! ) and got some new stuff ( to me, anyway! ) AK putty, and Mig 'One Shot' primer, as well as some other paints - good service!
By the way, it DOES say SCALEMORELSHOP.CD.UK on the airbrush - oh dear! Don't think it will affect the operation, though! :smiling5:

Never used this make before, so will be interesting to see how it compares to Greenline. Made in the Netherlands and a lot cheaper than Greenline . Going to use for the roof structure .
View attachment 313195
Yes looks exciting, no not for fire purposes , but for changing to look of ally foil ., mind you It is powerful stuff, and HSE will be followed. :thumb2:

Hi mate, thinking the same , tried to put a blob of white into a gauge, put more on the "brass ":worried: Back to a brush ! Still can always use them for cleaning the A/B paint cup.
Glad to find its just not me .

Keeping the postie busy this week!View attachment 313473
This is the Accurate Miniatures ( since defunct ) model re-issued by Academy, nicely detailed, with a small PE fret, and most importantly a set of masks for the big greenhouse canopy. Nice discount, as well!

[Guest]

really excited. This kit looks fantastic, but a little pricey

It’s actually ,cd.uk I’ve only got about another 200 that are wrong :disappointed: I’ve ordered some more but this time I asked them to send me proof, they made the same mistake, they have redone them on this next shipment, but that’s the problem buying from China, things get lost in translation.

 

[Guest]

that’s the problem buying from China, things get lost in translation.

I used to play the SF wargame AT-43, and one of the armies in it has figures that are HUGE compared to the others. It turns out the Chinese factory that made them took the dimensions on the drawings supplied to them by the French company that produced the game, to be in inches rather than centimetres (I can just imagine them saying to each other, “These foreigners all use those funny inches, don’t they?”)

 

[Guest]

Hi this lot came today Steampunk gears and some air paint (that I'll be brushing on)

This is on the side of my spray booth.

You get the idea though :smiling4:

[rickoshea52]

I bought this in Hobbycraft recently thinking it might come in useful for cutting masking tape for camouflage paint masks on smaller scale aircraft, sometimes the fuzzy edge with white tack worms doesn’t seem in scale.

So as our all too short golf season draws to a close it was time to stock up for the winter building season. BTW if anyone else is a golfer here, best round of the season.

Yes that is a 1 under back nine.

Ok now as some of you know I like to sculpt my own busts but I thought it was time to try something more professional so this little beauty called out to me from El Greco miniatures. "With it or on it" if you know what I mean.

Next for figure fun these 28mm chaps seemed like something to have fun with.

I have never tried a wingy thing but I have to say this must be the Stug of the air. Very cute and ugly at the same time so it had to be added for a new experience.

Finally if it all goes pear shaped then I can always blow it away with this.
