Funny, I just ran across the same organizer on Amazon yesterday then I come here and you got one. Looks like a handy organizer. You should make some for your work space and share with us all now that you have your workspace thread going! That is why I saved it in my Amazon list.

Couple things landed at the hanger today . Really impressed with the new Ammo Mig Atom Paint! It's a Acrylic that sprays like Lacquer and the coverage is and adhesion is really good . The Kapon Tape is amazing stuff it sticks really good, forms to the contour it's applied to, does not let paint bleed through and leaves no residue when removed. Couple sets of AOA Sensors 3D Nozzles and 3D Instrument Panel , these things make a Cockpit really stand out . The Contacta Glue is new to me, thought it might come in handy for certain applications . The " Holy Grail " of Nippers Zoukei-Mura ! Finally a JLTV with extras . This thing is really cool . Thought it might be nice to take a break from Aircraft. Guess we'll see .

Hi all So another acquisition today....but 1:1 scale this time. As you know I am changing jobs soon and I have been fortunate to have a company car with my current job that is done in such a way that I don't get clobbered with the UK's very punitive car tax too. Whilst I am able to buy it when leaving, it is far too expensive, even allowing for the exceptional discount we get......it was a Merc after all....and so I had to get a 'new' second second hand car. As the 'new' car is used - albeit only a year old - I had to take delivery before the end of this month and there was no point in running two cars, so the company car went back at lunchtime and I picked up the below this evening.....for those not familiar with European vehicles, it's an Audi Q2, their smallest SUV (that is not my house BTW). ATB Andrew

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and bought something from my new job, now that the employee discount has kicked in. These kits came in during the week, and I just couldn’t say no. Sort of an early birthday present from me to myself This will be a ton of fun!

Been looking for this kit for a while. I have 3 other boxings of this chopper but I wanted this IDF boxing and decals. It was stupid expensive everywhere but I found it on M R S Hobby (new to me) for an awesome price. Fast shipping.

I may regret this, but I saw one built up on a FB group. Looks simple enough, so to speak for what it is. Never tried anything like this other than balsa aircraft.

Concratulations for the new car and new job! As far as I know UK can be even better robber than Finland what comes to cars.. A couple of books. Both of them are great!

I think I need to be committed. Mustang Johnny strikes again. At the Eduard store just bought 2 F-6 1/48 overtree kits and 11 1/72 P-51D overtree kits with their 3-D decals. In my defense though you get free shipping if you spend $250. I need help Now I need to figure out how to hide this from my wife

Dodgy & Aaron, thanks. We have the Death Trooper from Rogue One in stock now, as well as K2SO, so one of each will likely be a future purchase for me. And if we ever get in the standard Stormtrooper, I’ll get one of those as well. Let’s face it, the Imperials are great modeling subjects .

Well, this week I really pulled the trigger at work... (after approval with the family CFO ) The paints were a bit more than I needed… the Russian Greens I’ll likely use up in the long run with all the Russian armor in my stash. But I have to buy by the same rules as customers. Mr Hobby/Mr Color paints in sets of 6, AK in sets of 3, box sets can be purchased solo…

Excellent scores guys! I only have two to show. One is from the Distressed Kit Auction my club does every June and December. It's a 1/25 scale Lindbergh Lincoln Continental: The other was gifted to me by a friend in my St. Crispin's Irregulars group. It's a Zvezda 1/350 scale HMS Revenge snap kit: I also recently got a lot of glue, Tamiya tape and some lacquer thinner to replenish my supplies., but didn't shoot pics of any of it. That's all for now.

Ok chaps, so these have arrived in the past couple of weeks.....honestly! Some bargains, some not.....but all of course absolutely essential! ATB Andrew --------------------------------------------- A combination of a number of orders from a few suppliers......The Montex Masks and resin wheels are for the Revell Spit I was trapped into buying on another forum! Not sure what happened with the tape.....got carried away .....but at least I now have everything 6mm and below covered! Won these as prizes in the charity raffle at Coventry and Warks IPMS showThe figures have already gone to someone who wants them on another forum I am on. Forced to buy these.....A national UK craft/hobby store were doing one of their ' spend £15, get £5 off' offers, so it would have rude not too! And now for something a bit different.....This popped on eBay from a second-hand reseller site here in the UK for a very good price! I saw someone make this last year as part of the Soviet Wingy GB I ran on the other forum I am on and it intrigued me, so thought I should grab it when I saw it More wargaming purchases.....Someone on another site reminded me about these being pretty robust for wargaming purposes but they are like hens teeth and usually go for about £20 delivered. Someone though was selling this pair for £26 delivered - a pretty good price - and so whilst I plan to build both, if I do sell one, I should make a sizeable chunk of my cash back. What I was amazed at though was the condition they were in. I have no idea where these have been but given that they're the 1975 and 1976 boxings, the boxes are like their brand new to my eye and the sprues are still sealed in the bag from the day they were packaged! And some great bargains.....I was looking at a small second site I have bought from in the past and found these. Across all four, these were 30-40% of what you'd pay new and were in perfect condition. A couple of unusual subjects for me too! Finally, possibly the pick of the bunch.....I had discovered that I was missing a 190F-8 from my 1/48 wingy stash. I had the A and D fighter variants but not one of these.....a truly staggering omission, I think you will agree! These are normally £35-36 delivered new and often a lot more. Managed to pick this up for under £30!
