[Guest]

This just dropped through my letterbox fifteen minutes ago:

Brand-new, came out last week, and since I assisted the author with some of his research, I kind of wanted a copy And also because I have a Resicast Terrapin in the stash, of course, not to mention that about a third of the book is about its deployment in the area I live in …

Found on Ebay for my new discovered love for 1/144 vehicles.

Hi all

So a few more acquisitions...all of course absolutely necessary!!

Some masks for recent purchases:






As some of you know, our most excellent member BattleshipBob has dumped all his armour (mainly StuGs) for ships and so is having a clear out and I took theses oils off his hands. Conservatively, I reckon that his generous pricing saved me at least half what they would have been and they have barely been touched.

Oh, and he threw the decals and mask in for nothing....given the scale I'm beginning to wonder if he is in cahoots with AlanG to corrupt me into buying larger scale wingy kits just to go with the decals and masks!!









These two were bought new for very reasonable prices new, considering other listings. When you consider these were only £15-16 and a Weekend version is only a few £ cheaper, I think they're excellent value for money.









So this was an excellent eBay win at only £19.50 delivered....new is c.£28 and up

It was also an example of someone not doing their research......at the same time as I was buying this, I watched someone on an eBay auction site I frequent spend £21 to get a second-hand Weekend version delivered and yet the very same Weekend kit is available to buy delivered for only £18.

Ive always had a 'loyalty card' at hobbycraft.......and just recently started using the app.....and i got series of vouchers that added up to a tenner......but had a 'use by date' so thought id better use it or lose it.....and ended up with this.....happy days :hungry:

Some sound purchases Andrew. Oils are just so versatile. I think those Profipack kits are very good and well priced generally.

Splashed out on a new magnifying daylight light….so much sleeker and more refined than my old one :smiling4:

My lad needed some specific sized mesh and I needed 1:50 scale tread plate for an upcoming project, so I stocked up on styrene sheet while I was at it, since it's so much cheaper than anywhere else I've found.

There was a 1/35 scale one at one time....

Over on Scalemates, someone offered this Churchill kit for sale:

“Already started” he said, which now I have it, I consider a slight understatement:

[ATTACH]514738[/ATTACH]

More like “almost completed, with some broken bits that are all there” — but for €11 including postage, I can’t complain, can I? Especially as it also has an aftermarket set of resin exhausts with etched covers. I do need to disassemble the turret to correct it, and buy a set of separate-link tracks for it, but at this price, I don’t mind.
