Got this stuff last week

[Guest]

Keeping postie fit, I had these delivered today from John at the shop.

Building up my stocks of the new AK paints

A cheap accesory kit that looked like it might come in useful for my current build

[ATTACH]390567[/ATTACH]

And a few scratchy bit. Never worked with brass so should be fun

[ATTACH]390568[/ATTACH]

And the biggie. I've seen a few of you recommend the Daylight desk lamps, so Zoë ordered this as a Fathers Day / Anniversary pressie

[ATTACH]390569[/ATTACH]

So far it seems miles better than the cheap LED battens I've been using. Super bright but not harsh, a much more natural colour, virtually no shadows, and has a great reach so I can move it anywhere on the bench, plus to the painting area at the side.

It's huge though, almost touching the ceiling!

This little , but excellent box, arrived from over the blue water yesterday. Sarnia miniatures superb 3 piece bust "return from dunkirk"

[BattleshipBob]

My god this is one ugly brute


And NO i have not gone all russki, but like assault guns and this is the mother of them all.

God help a german tank crew facing this!!!!!

Today the postie dropped off these two 'damaged' books, tbf cant see anything wrong with either off them except a bit of grime on the base of the spines.
Toons down from £25.99 to £11.99



And how to paint 1/72 military vehicles down from £17.99 to £7.99

do like your bench light Andy,
I have a 3ft,flurorescent up high which still dose not give the right light for me,

[Guest]

I've been using something similar to that for a year Monica, and it was always a bit of a juggle, moving the model to where the light was best but uncomfortable to work on.

I tried an IKEA desk lamp which was better for positioning but too narrow a source.

This seems to be ideal, apart from my son now wanting one for his Warhammer figures! :smiling5:

Great buys there andy , the light is very nice , any chance of a link to how much or where to get one , ive been thinking about upgrading my lighting for a while. The pic of the bench is interesting too , me being only a mile down the road from you , the obvious earthquake that did that to your bench must have missed me :smiling5:
Honestly though my bench is exactly the same glorious organised chaos , looks as if a howitzer shell has just landed :smiling5:

[Guest]

I blame the fact that I had to move everything to get the new light in.... :smiling5:

I'm on my phone so links are a bit tricky, but Jim mentions a similar light here

https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/lighting.34425/post-478861

The new version of that is called the Lumi. Zoë must have got mixed up and ordered me the higher spec Luminos, but I'm not complaining lol.
