Latest Acquisitions (2020)

[The Smythe Meister]

Not actually sure what the left hand model is? Is it the trailer with the oildrum, or is it the one their knocking the petrol out of?

It can be either Tim.....
.... It caught me out actually,as i thought it was the one with the oil Drum,but you do get the bits to make up the fuel bowser version instead,(also the extras you can see in the boxart - buckets,jerry cans etc).I must admit,to me,it`d make more sense for them to have just chucked in a few extra wheels, 2 bodysides,and track,then you could make BOTH! :rolling:
After all,the kit costs Flumpence so it would`ve made sense to me as they then could`ve added a couple of quid and it`d still have been good value!

Thanks for that,the Speal on the front of the Instruction sheet isn`t translated into English,just Polish,likewise the instructions themselves..... but that`s of little consequence,as the pics alone are all you need:hugging-face:,

Interesting, it’s a similar idea to the one found attached to the little Renault I’m blogging at the moment....

Well my Ju87 G2 was supposed to be my last purchase of the year. But......

A lovely 1/32 Revell Ju88 A4 kit came up on evilbay for a really good price with a load of unopened Tamiya paints in it. Sent an offer in and it was accepted for a little under the BiN price. Well chuffed.

Defo buying over for this year now. Totally skint

Fantastic Post there Alan..... made both myself and Rach laugh!! :tears-of-joy:
You`ve certainly gone out with a bang for 2020!!...... But i`m sure the finances will very soon recover and 2021 will see you building up the stash all over again!!:thumb2:

[AlanG]

Not sure they'll recover for a long while yet. The money was supposed to be for an electric chainsaw lol. SWMBO will not be impressed

[Tim Marlow]

A few new items from Black Friday type sales....

28mm fantasy figures from Warlord.

Dwarf heavy infantry from Northstar miniatures.

A magic stick for gaming....what does it do I hear them cry.....

It does this! It’s basically a laser pointer that allows you to check line of sight when playing.....great value for three quid because it is like war gaming VAR....

Yeah,I know what you`re thinking...."But they`re MIRAGE kits!!!oop:

ive done a couple of mirage kits and thoroughly enjoyed them, interesting subjects no one else does either

Andy I like the translation on the review.
"The model, apart from one side of the axle not completely cast, at first glance has no major disadvantages. A bit of polishing and the effect for the price of about 20 gold will be quite nice." Twenty gold!!!!!!
Scan the instructions, copy and paste and put into Google Translate !

Yea, I know, but this bundle came up on evilbay and I couldn't resist. I have been a good boy for a while now though. Anyway.



The tram was the reason I went for it, but these were included in it too,



Oh well, for €40,49 delivered to the door, I really can't complain. That's less than the price of the tram itself and I can pop the other 3 back in evilbay because I have them in the stash already. I have a wild idea for the tram, down the road of course....Perhaps, when I'm 70, or maybe 69...........Do I hear 68????????

Prost

Hi all

So the first item below arrived today for my North Africa vignette. I was looking for some mesh for the the exhaust when I stumbled across this - my first major set of PE.

And after recommendations and advice from Laurie (thanks very much Laurie), I also invested this heat gun and some low flux solder - I hedged my bets never having used it before and got both paste and liquid.

Just got this delivered, it's an upgrade for a future project, the Revell type VII.C U-boat :hugging-face:

I enjoyed the last two that I found two more both will be built as box art.
