Hi,
yesterday I got some brass rods, 20 sanding sticks and the scraper/scriber tool set that Andy T recommended to me. Thanks Andy! I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Best regards,
Andi

Couple of new purchases for me.




Little blokes on horses. Took advantage of the 20% off deal on Victrix last weekend…….



Got some flags for them as well. These are a little tricky to use, but are superbly printed…..

Also just been to the Salisbury show and came back with these…..


Pleased with these. The French stuff is a bit different and the Dauntless is the earlier incarnation of the kit Andy did for the carrier GP I believe….

I didn’t take any pictures at the show. It took enough effort just to get myself around….let alone carrying a camera….good show though.

The Mail Man dropped these off this week. I heard Silly Putty is good for masking Models I guess I’ll find out. Also I needed more paint.

Silly putty is great for masking models, as is Science putty and physiotherapy putty……they are all the same things…..

I have wanted a Lumi Task Lamp for a long time, but as they are rather pricey I restrained myself.
Well yesterday Mrs G and I were in the art shop, and she calls me over, and says look at this, showing me a Lumi Lamp, just what I had wanted, and she says, now wait for it, why don't you get one, well not wanting to look a gift horses in the mouth, and always wanting to do what I'm told here it is.
Happy camper.:smiling2:

That light, Garry, will prove to be money well spent. Well done Mrs G.

Can only echo what Jim said. I love mine.

[peterairfix]

My one and only boot sale purchase but on opening I found all the glue and paint (witch I won't use but I will the glue)
£7

[peterairfix]

A 1/350 uss enterprise lighting kit this is for the original or pilot version of the kit

[Andy T]

All the way from Poland. Should see me through until stock gets to the UK.

Thanks to Andy T for "persuading" me to spend some modelling pennies :smiling:

Some scribing tape to use instead of my usual Dymo tape. The Dymo tape is rather too stiff and sticky. Also a set of scribing chisels. They are not the best quality but were cheap and actually work well.




Thanks Andy :thumb2:

There are times such as this that they really can surprise you. Well done Mrs G. An illuminated modeller is indeed a happy chappy
