Masks for the recent wingy purchases.....





Thanks to points with a certain well known national chain...that were thanks to the aforementioned wingy purchases....£5 off

[Geoffers]

Put this together yesterday.
I’m going to put my spray booth on there so I have a dedicated painting area 😊.
Its right next to my workbench so everything is in one place.

Nice and simply but will work perfectly! I'd love to have that but stuck in the kitchen as I am, I have to stick with the dual use table......😞

[Geoffers]

Look on the bright side though Andrew, not far from the kettle, biscuit tin or fridge 😉

Geoff.

[adt70hk]

Geoffers - very true.....as my waistline knows to its cost!!

[Steven000]

A very exiting tube of black oil paint lol,
Already started using it for some weathering 🙏

[PaulTRose]

Been wanting some kind of magnifyer for a while but not the usual optivisor type.....hobbycraft have these in for 12 quid so thought it would be worth a go

Also picked up some french curves......got an idea for a tattoo i want to draw based on the Fibbonacchi sequence so i need to be able to do an accurate spiral.....thought they might come in useful in the future for making camo masks for aircraft....only 4 quidish

[Geoffers]

These arrived yesterday.

I have struggled in the past masking small circles to cover light lens and such so am hoping these help.

Geoff.

[Jim R]

They look very useful.

[adt70hk]

Interesting.....I was only thinking about this sort of thing the other day, as I have the same issue. Could you take close ups if the masks?

[Andy the Sheep]

A sweep in the Model Shop where I used to go when a teenager and I came out with these:



Three Paint pots for my future F 16 C aggressor, some decal and masking paper and a green stuff acrylic putty.
No kits, I was brave and strong! 😁

[pjgtech]

Todays purchases.....

Went in to get some Tamiya masking tape, in my local model shop, got talking and the guy in the shop convinced me to buy this, Model Craft masking tape, four small rolls, in four different widths. He reckons its as good as the Tamiya stuff, (and cheaper) we''ll see......
Plus yet more paints, I'm learning you can never have enough! 😎

[Andy T]

I have the regular yellow version of that set and I agree with your man, just as good as tamiya.

[adt70hk]

Will have to bear that in mind when my Tamiya stuff runs out

[Richard48]

Arrived today from Johns shop.Thought id get these rather than trying to choose paints at the Melee at Telford at the weekend.Thank you John for a fast turn around on my order.

Latest buy from me, yet more paints, from SMS, great fast service as usual....

[colin m]

I've bought something really old. I saw this going for an ok price (inc P&P) I've always fancied one and with next years 'Build an old Airfix GB' I went for it. New tool in 1968, same as me !

[pjgtech]

And another purchase, turned up in the post this morning...

[Tworrs]

This little fellow arrived today.

[Geoffers]

I had a parcel arrive today 😊



Any ideas what it is? Here’s a clue.


Yep another Typhoon 😊

Airfix’s latest rebox but done in conjunction with the charity who are currently restoring the aircraft shown on the box front to hopefully air worthy condition. Best bit all the money (presumably profit) goes to the charity 🤩

Geoff.

[adt70hk]

Well done Geoff!! I also have this kit but it's going to be a Christmas present and so I can't play with it yet.

I found out about the charity a while ago and as it's one of my all time favourite planes, I actually support them on a monthly basis. It's only £2 a month but it's better than nothing.

Looking forward to seeing what you make of it.

Some bits and bobs picked up at Scale Model World yesterday 😊.
