Gary- I think they look good with nice details but not too sure about the fig heads. I am already thinking about replacing them with better resin heads. I'd be more than happy to take closer pics if you're interested. There are not enough American tank crew sets out there...

Andy, if you have time and its not too much trouble that would be awesome. Thanks Andy.

Nice pickup there Martyn.

Nice one Martyn, looks tasty.

[wouter]

Nice Leo kit indeed Martyn...you'll be bloggin' her soon here, right?

some more figures arrived today, from the far country of Japan...very fast delivery, expected it only in a couple of weeks

a Dragon kit which will suit my (on hold) Initial Tiger II dio


Cheers

[spud]

that bottle opener will be dead handy because them tamiya ones can be a pig to open when new,

and an Awesome Bust.

[spud]

there is Some Going cheap on ebay if you get yer timing right,

i use a Rubber cloth or the door to open them not broke one yet,

In my ongoing attempts to have at least one Leo from each of the IP versions available in 1/35- regardless of how good or bad they might be
Through the magic of ebay :

From LEE- generally considered to be one of t worst versions available (well -its got a good contender in the Heller kit apparently- but I haven;t seen one of those yet )


expecting deliver any day now ;D

And front Italeri;
Plastic is that dark green relatively brittle stuff the seem to like and the hull side hatches are integrated into the track guards- a complete pain in the A*** if you want to build with "naked" running gear. Even the ESci/Ertl one provided the hatches as seperate pieces



Oh and I've also got a couple of these for some more paper-panzer ideas:

I have been trying to stay away from this thread so I won't be tempted to buy more kits....but I had to see what you guys bought. As always some great buys fellas. Hope to see some of these being blogged here. Lots of modern stuff, and some great extras as well.

[itsonlyakit]

Good choice on the Eclipse, jkool323, I have 3 Iwatas and the Eclipse is my favorite. Ease of cleaning because of the large nozzle got my vote. Cheers Eh!

[spud]

Late Arrivals but here none the less. this will be my next build its such a cool looking Scout car,.


Also this wich is a fairly detailed kit with a bucket of parts, I was not expecting the box to be so big.


I also nabbed the bronco bofors gun crew last week


Post is slow this week for some reason as i should have had 2 other kits arrive today

[paulh.]

Probably because the posties are in the pub watching Katie Taylor!

GO ON YHA GOOD THING!!!
WELL DONE KATIE

[robbo]

I done that little scout car a very nice build

[bbd468]

Jkool323 - I use that same AB for a few years now and its the single best investment i made toward modeling. Great choice.

Those are all some sweet purchases fellas.

Paul, thats a new one on me. Never heard of Lee.

Spud, that Humber scout car looks pretty bad a$$! Im diggin' that!

Gary

Gary

[spud]

Hey Spud,

Found it on Spruebrothers for $36.50. That sound about right to you? Yeah, dont need a fig with it.

[spud]

i got mine on ebay for £16 but the price on the box is £24.99 that's $39 so that's about right

[bbd468]

Thx Spud!

[multicam]

Awesome Humber Spud. I'll be waiting eagerly for that build. Very cool:)

[spud]

ill be starting soon Nate.

Postie Arrived ;D

[spud]

lol Boo, i bet that was a nice surprise.

28 that's a sweet looking kit

[TRM]

Hey fellas!! Not sure if I shown this yet, Picked up a brush from a friend's wife that works in the science world. Offered through Ted Pella Inc. www.tedpella.com/brush_html/brush.htm#anchor1388107 for around 12 bucks USD it is a super fine eyelash...thinking it is pig, anyway it is FINE.



I might try ans snip it back a bit and this will work very nice on 1/350 streaking and of course that all elusive white dot in the eye of a painted fig.





A whole new meaning to the words "Pin Wash" LOL!!!!

[spud]

wow thats a very cool and very small brush

[TRM]

Give em free pints when they come to the pub!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[chris0423]

Just released by Live Resin, could not resist !.

[spud]

[spud]

Well Postie arrived this morning and drop off this lot,



Gaz-AAA 1943 with 5 figs
Ya-12 Soviet artillery tractor
Wax Carving set.


I also Picked these up from Lidl for €10 each, No idea where there going to go but for a tenner each I couldn't just pass them by, i also got a new digital calipers and some other bits that us modelers will find a use for some time

Any reason why Live Resin only ever post the 3D renderings of their stuff? Wanna see some fer real!!!

Threw a M204B in for your perusal. You can do a swap with the Stryker one.
