No less than 145 parts!
And from yet another cheeky ebay bid - Micks Micks 1/9 Sgt Farrier 5th ( Royal Irish ) Lancers 1880s


A really narrow 'V' bust
Another sculpted by Pavol Ovecka ( I've seen various spellings! ). My Wellington bust was one of his, as well

Got a little present from Hannants for myself today. Couple of mask sets and a PE set.

1. 1/48 Su27 Flanker B PE
2. 1/32 Fw190 A8 Masks - wanted for the Maj. Walther Dahl 'Blue 13' JG300 set
3. 1/32 Fw190 D9 JV44 Masks
4. 1/32Me262 A-1a Masks - wanted for the JV44 set

I am intending to do a duel build of a Fw190 D9 and a Me262 from JV44 so you have the 'Hunter and Protector' together.

IS it that same type of pewter that the minions were using on the dino tank ?

Yes think it is Chris, mined by Simon T from the Dales in Yorkshire:smiling2:

Its another retirement project to recreate all the 1/72 Airfix builds of my childhood.

See if you remember them, I do!

Airfix

It could be early onset dementia too LOL

I have a 6 lb AT and a Lloyd carrier and will see if the Bren gun carrier is a better fit?

I still need a good price on the Mirror FAT beetle back Mk I for the 25lb gun and limber set

Many of the others are readily available but some have never been made in 1:35.

Its another collecting project with some builds at the end!

And guess what I shall use these for??

Can you get it without "Googling" it?

The plane builders should get it without a 2nd look, but you tankies?

Maybe not?

More soon?

Morning Steve - those Optivisor lights really chew through the batteries, unless they have changed to LED

[Guest]

I think I know, but I’m going to hold back to see if one of the ‘tankies’ can get it.

[Allen Dewire]

Morn Steve,

Nice haul there Sir and the light is cool too! BTW, Prototype Spitfire for the decals……...

And all I got was some tires from evilbay for €3,50...……...


Hey, everybody needs tires!!! No Kits, No Kits, No Kits...…………………………...….

Hi Simon

I have a load of 2,300 milliamp rechargeable camera batteries and the chargers from when I used a cutting edge 5 million pixel camera for my models, so they will get a 2nd life as I only use the mobile, 12 million pixels!! for photos these days!

It is tough on the batteries but it really has helped close up work

Thanks for giving the tankies a chance Chris, I just need to find the bits for the Bf-109 prototype next, it will be a a cool conversion for the Eduard Condor Bf-109 I have along with some of the Alley Cat resin.

Well done Allen and man of many talents, and well spotted too, wheels can be good too!

I wish I had resin ones for the Dragon wagon and all the other trailers I have in the stash.

I just want an 1/32 Arado 196 A and I'll try to stop buying any more.............................................. ........................

Well I can wish LOL

No worries! The prop is a big clue!

Look forward to seeing it underway!

[Allen Dewire]

Thanks Steve,

I used to be a wing thingy person and then went tankies…Chris beat me to it with the prop. My dream is to get my hands on a 1/32 Arado AR 234 from Fly or the new one from Zoukei and a Wingnut Wings Hansa W29 float plane...….

Till then, it's tanky things and my Storch...…….

Prost

It will be later this year, once I can retire!
