Latest Acquisitions (2019)

[Dave Ward]

I was so impressed by Peter Day's ICM Delta Force Figure, that I bought this-

Revell reboxing of the ICM model. I won't put up the sprue shots - just a few detail pictures

The arms and legs are single piece mouldings - the parting lines are pretty fine, but run across some fine detail
I hope I don't make a hash of this!
I was lucky, as I seem to have caught an offer - £12.45 delivered - the price seems to have gone up now! :thumb2::smiling3:

Arrived this morning.

From John.

I will not be beaten by a plastic track, if this is good enough for Simon then it's fine by me.


Going to try this for filling on figures, read that its good and doesn't dry out, as you can add some cellulose thinners.

Some sanding sticks.


No those are my feet they did not arrive with the other three items.


Direct from Jarvis came these.








Will be perfect for autumn leaves on those Silver Birch .

Lastly from Evil Bay.



Some Vallejo Tan for Russian uniforms.

Some nice purchases mate :thumb2: I thought you had a track assembly jig already?
Good to see you’ve not thrown in the towel on tracks, hopefully the jig will make a difference for you.

Hmmm,
those Javis packs look remarkably like some of the herbal teas I once experimented with. I experienced various stomach upsets, fevers, and mild hallucinations, not to mention sleepless nights! ( I would guess that some of them are illegal now! ).
Don't get any ideas now, John

Dave .Upon reading your problems after drinking a similar looking substance / tea I shall only glue it.:smiling2:

What a lovely sight, make sure the safety switch is on. Do not want those pesky minions to blow your back door off!!

Thought you might like that, you're lucky it's only minions you wait till I unleash the stampeding herd of my little ponies on the world.
As for my back door I blew that of years ago.

Nice one Pete, will you be using it to transport logs as the box art illustrates?:rolling: Cheers, Rick H.

Postie delivery.................................
Oddly, I paid less for the model set, than the model alone! £12.28 delivered!
Four pots of Revell Aqua acrylic paint, a double ended brush & small Contacta Professional - the last probably being the only thing I will use.
Mouldings are nice, need a bit of edge preparation - but the decal sheet is what this model is about



Look pretty good, in register & readable!

Picked this up at a charity shop the other day:

Has a lot of history of tank development as well as details of various AFV actions, starting before WW1 and details of different countries' strategies for the use of AFVs.

Got a few nice little items through the post today. I'm planning a conversion of a 1/32 Ju88 A4 into something else and got a few Eduard & AIMS PE, HGW belts (said i wouldn't use them again but i caved in) and Montex canopy masks. A friend on another forum also kindly made some custom masks for the particular aircraft too.

this wee beastie arrived yesterday all the way from China via ebay

I shall be checking but does anyone happen to know if they fixed the problem areas before re-releasing this one?

I bought this when it originally came out and converted it to the prototype with the concrete box turret stand-in testing at Boblingen - want to do it as the gun tank this time around
