these,s little guys are just so cool,
the pics say it all,my son found in a hobby shop in Manila,so glad he got them for me,

Hi Monica, Happy New Year to you. Those Zipla figurines are good. If you get a chance get the other range they have on female figures in military garb...lovely detail.
Hope you're doing fine and away from the bush fires. Just last week Sister returned to Sydney and the plane almost had to divert to another airport due to poor visibility.

Cheers,
Richard

Decided I wanted to upgrade my camera............. after hovering on ebay for a few days, I got this 'opened, but never used' Fujifilm FinePix SL240 14 Mb
Only thing absent was the instruction manual disc - which I was able to download from the Fuji website. There are more features than I will ever understand, let alone use!
It's not the latest model, but, at less than £45 delivered, it's a couple of generations later than my previous camera.

Nice purchase Dave

There are more features than I will ever understand, let alone use!

Oh that is so true. I have a camera, a phone, a computer and a car - I only use a fraction of the features on any of them!

The wife has just looked over my shoulder and said "Add my sewing machine, the timer on the cooker and the washing machine"

A few more arrivals over the last couple of days.......


late night eBaying again - reasonable price. Very nice packaging on these Gecko kits and looks to be a very nice and comprehensive kit with etch and separate link tracks


and a set of crew figures - again, well packaged (there is another box inside the outer), if somewhat over sized for the contents




from the same place as the trucks - good prices on all. The Otter may make it to the animal GB
Not seen these figure sets before - look like they could be useful




then three from Johns shop - I do like these new Airfix boxes, very smart, even if the contents in this case do need work

I have a few 251's now - this C and D/9, the Stuka zu fuss, a Zvezda B/3, a couple of D/1's and Hobbyboss tracks for them all plus some etch. Also got the set of three Panzer Tracts books on them from my sister for crimbo

What a good batch you have, Simon. I got the MiniArt Winter German Soldiers when they first came in...nice poses. The Airfix Honey tank is next in my list since I missed the Academy one when in Sydney 4 years ago...I think it's the same mold and priced less. I'm not too worried about the undercarriage accuracy...most of it will be buried in the sand. :smiling3:

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard - I think they have just removed Academy from the sprues and added their own decals and instructions. I have read that the interior is also incorrect so not a lot going for it really without a re-work

Nice box though :smiling3:

[monica]

No, good prices but still dreading the good old visa bill arriving - online shopping is just too easy :smiling5:

[Allen Dewire]

It appears that Simon is expecting this winter to get worse and a lot colder too. Therefore, he has invested in more insulation to keep him warm until at least April. Besides, he can also save a bunch of money on his heating costs!!!!!!!

Nice haul and sorry to hear about the Visa card Simon………………….
