Thanks Dicky, PM ya later...

[Mence]

Well, those of you that know the story, the hunt is over ;D



This may be entered for September MOM, built of course!

[spud]

OH MY GOD..............

[wouter]

Nice one you got there Prof!

Yesterday my girl went into town and came back with a surprise:

I must say I was very happy with that!
And the surprise became even bigger. She didn't know it either but when I looked into Art of Modelling (you can compare that mag with AFV Modeller) I suddenly saw my Panther F in a show report of the BSMC...my first model in a mag ever

My girl is one out of thousand

Cheers

[spud]

oh sweet, on all accounts

[wouter]

yup Frank, some of those articles are seen elsewhere as well. But that's because Art of Modelling is for the Dutch/French/German language areas, so some of those articles have been published in some other English mags. I must say the article that interested me the most was Michael Rinaldis DAK PzIII, the modern stuff isn't 100% my cup of tea. But I agree, the new AoM is a great issue indeed

Cheers

Just landed a Tamiya ISU-152 for £25 - (thats 40% off the headline price) Modlezone sale, and it looks like I got the last one 'cause its now showing as no online stock avaialble
Sweet
Head over there guys 'cause there as srtill some sweet deals to be had.

[spud]

had to google them there and up pops an image of the old beatties store in hoborn. Man i spent many many hours in there when i was in london in the 90s

that isu 152 is in stock again and is now 29.99 still a good deal

[spud]

Very nice

[Deleted]

Ok chaps,sit down,and no sniggering at the back.....but I've been doing a bit of buying recently,for the big Spit,and the Mustang....purely in preparation,you understand!!
Picked up thes fabric seat belts

and also the decs for the Tuskegee Mustang ;D

I don't know how the decs will sit,when I do get to use them,but they have the least carrier film of any I have encountered so far!!
I also captured the 1/32 MkVIII Spit,off evilbay...for £40 less than a certain well known shop over here does it for ;D

[Deleted]

Picked this up today,from Lidl's,for the princely sum of £16.99......

Ok,this may not be the best on the market,but it's variable speed(5K-20Krpm),but there is a 3 year warranty,if you can be bothered to send it off.
As an 'Ex' golfer,...you can buy all the fancy gear you want,...and you can still play like a P**T!!!....That's me and modelling!! ;D ;D

[spud]

oh wow if i dint have a dremil i payed too much for ild buy one

[`Boots`]

Thats worth remembering mate.................i do hate having to keep swappin` over drill bits in my single pin vice!!!

[spud]

oh very snazy indeed, and i even like the color ;D

[406 Silverado]

What.....you didn't have that already....and you call yourself a scratch builder LOLOLOL

jackwagon I learned that lesson long ago. I have 4 chucked with the standard sizes and two on standby for the bigger bits.

They look top notch bud....now put them to good use eh

[multicam]

It's all about maximizing efficiency (Fun) and minimizing the not fun parts of a build. Good thinking and a wise investment in my mind!

[406 Silverado]

I can finally show what I got. It's been a while since I last had any new goodies to show.
Went to a rail road show/convention on Sunday with T. There we met up with Scott Girvin, Ken A., Iain (AK) and Ken of Badger Airbrushes. A very good time was had, wish it was longer.
Anyhoo, here is what I got from the show.

First off a choo choo train. These are some cool things when you actually look at them. I plan on doing some weathering and rusting on this. Something a bit different than the normal tank...and sure to be fun as well.

This baby is from moondograilcars.com...check them out for more cool rail cars.





Next we have something I have been wanting to try out....acrylic paints from Badger. Seeing how Vallejo and Lifecolor are a bit difficult to obtain here in the US, I think these will fit in perfect and they are easy to get hold off.
I bought the weathering set. Mind you that most colors and sets are intended for the RR scene.....but I heard from a very good source that Badger will be working on some armor colors ;D ;D







oh yes, these paints are also inexpensive. i paid $14 for the set of 7 1oz bottles. Single bottles go for less than $4 dollars....can't beat that.

Continuing with paints, AK Interactive CM set for Panzer Grau tanks. yeah baby.





Now for dio stuff. I have been trying to find the Silflor moss at the Scenic express site and didn't see it there, luckily they had a BIG stand at the show with I think everything they make there. I picked up these two...for now




And for the scratchbuilder in me.....nuts-bolts-washers from Tichy Train. yep Don Tichy was there and I got to bs with him for a bit, and also talked about possibly coming out with more 1/35 items for us armor freaks. Will be getting in touch with him soon on that and other things.



I think now I have atleast one of each rivet and NBW set they make ;D ;D ;D

You'll be seeing more of these goodies in up coming builds and reviews.

[martyncrowther.]

great purchasing Rob I like the look of the scenic items

[406 Silverado]

Thanks Martyn, and yes they are great. Wish I had a wad of cash to spend on them. I bought the moss pads and the other are viny thingies

[406 Silverado]

jackwagon should have been there bro. Had so many in my hand ....was getting carried away. T was talking to the woman rep....Long Island accent...had probs understanding what she was saying LOLOLOL...worse than you chaps over there lol

[Thom]

Rob I was at the show on Sunday, hanging out with Iain H as well for a bit. I walked away with a couple of items set of tube tweezers and a another pair of pliers as well as these lil beauties. ;D



Each for only $5.00 not a bad little grouping, will be fun to build these and maybe do some super detailing on them as well.

Nice haul you got there yourself Sir, too bad I did not know you guys were going to be there on Saturday I would have gone up then.

Cheers,
Thom

[406 Silverado]

Hey Thom, sorry we missed you bro. T and I didn't get to see much, just two of the five halls.

Nice little haul yourself. Should be cool to see all these trains here on the forum

[spud]

Nice hauls guys, looking forward to seeing the ol box weathered rob.

Oh as im at it my self this finally came in the post this morning,
