Just got hold of this for a laugh:eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

I wonder what the difference is between mine and this one:

VINTAGE 1960'S MONOGRAM ROMMELS ROD SEALED IN CELLO | eBay

..... apart from the £90! :lol

Gern

Actually it was £100 and it didn't sell. Wonder why?

1:48 revell eurofighter typhoon at a car boot sale this morning,box battered to death but contents still sealed with no apparent breakages plus a few tubes of contacta poly which had been thrown in the box. asking price was three quid, i handed him a twenty pound note and he had no change so he accepted £1.97 as that was all i had in change.....result

so top tip for booties,always have a crisp £20 note in your pocket and a couple of quid in change.

Hi all,

Those of you on the Facebook page will be aware of my latest acquisition so thought I would share with the rest of you.

My little man is only six days old but thought he was ready for his shed induction and to start early to grasp the basics

Oh dear, more impulse buying. Steve Stona's post about the quality of Tamiya's 1/72 FW190 got me interested, so I popped into Modelzone while I was in town. Among many bargains they had just one Tamiya 1/72 Bf109e for £6.50! They're £12 plus postage elsewhere; I couldn't stop myself. I also got an Academy 1/72 P38J ETO for £7.99.

I'm running out of drawer space.

Tony.

PS Congratulations on your latest acquisition Rich. Beware though: If you thought the fumes from putty and thinners were toxic, wait till you open a nappy.

Good grief! I bet they put their fingers in their ears when that was fired.

It looks to be a huge project and one I'll be following with interest.

Cheers

Went to the model shop to buy some airbrush cleaner.....

.....came out with the Italeri 1/48 Hurricane Mk1.

What a nice looking kit it is in the box, and the booklet you get is worth buying on it's own for the reference pictures.

Just hope it builds as nice
