Latest Acquisitions (2024)

[Allen Dewire]

From the Euro Model Expo last weekend in Lingen, Germany. Needed things and such,



A couple of good books,


And only 2 kits that had really good prices,


And it looks like I'll be joining in on Bob's Racing GB in June,


I love the GT-R and I haven't built a car kit in over 45 years!!!..........

Not much but a handy set for cordless soldering iron tips

A gift from a 91 y.o. modeller and watercolour painter who decided to limit his activity to painting only.

That was the plan and I thought I had written it in the space above the pic. Yup I did...I also saw your Nike kit at the show Jakko, and I avoided it every time I walked past the vendor...BTW, the airbrush cleaner from Tamiya is only a 1% difference in formula from their TET. I tried it out and it works great too...

I see now you did indeed — must have missed it somehow …

Because you fear you will run out of money to buy putty, you mean?

A visit to my "local" hobby shop (20 miles away) resulted in a long desired Lancaster and a Renault R5 Alpine rally car for the Racing Car GB later this year.

Hurrah!! Post managed to deliver my item a couple of days late. Royal Mail - what a waste of time!!
Anyway, my latest acquisition. A big thank you to me for buying it for me. Hopefully it will free up a hand when fitting fiddly bits where a third hand would be favourable!!!

Have fun with it Doug. It sorta looks like some new-fangled torture device to me!!!

Latest 2 arrivals at Stash House.

The Mark II Grande was called a Toyota Cressida in RSA. We had 4 of them in the family, motoring equivalent of a kitchen appliance - unexciting but just does the job forever. Our 4 did a combined total of approx. 750000 miles with no major problems. Kit came from Japan in 15 days in perfect condition for £30.00 including air freight, hard to find in UK/Europe.

The Porsche was the first privately owned vehicle I bought when I returned to the UK. The kit is quite unusual as it depicts the pre face-lift front bumper but has the later rims and dashboard. My car is the blue one in the photo.

Real ones with the bb magazine capacity, M4 300, MAC10 400... yes please, the idiots in my street wouldn't know what hit them! :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:

Saw these on e-bay and thought id give them a go .
theyre 1/72 scale , 3D printed . The seller also offers them in various other scales right up to 1/24. These cost me £8.49 inc postage . Each figure comes in a printed protective cage , they just need careful cutting off the supports . The detail is amazing for the scale , im chuffed to bits with them. Ive got a 1/72 Spitfire in the stash so im hoping to do a little vignette with them sometime

I’m not really up to speed on all the modern AR-15 variants, but isn’t that a full-length barrel, making it an M16 instead of an M4?

Shame we're not allowed real ones

We’re not even allowed airsoft ones here in the Netherlands, except by being a member of the one officially recognised airsoft players’ society and using it in their events only.
