What modelling goodies did the postman deliver today....

Post by **aur0ra145** » Wed Apr 27, 2022 2:14 am

Hit the local game store this last weekend. I had about $25 of store credit and picked up this model. It's meant for the Star Wars: Legion game; but, you still have to build the kit. Might be a fun side piece for the summer sci-fi build. (also, it might get me to finally build the rest of my Star Wars: Legion stuff.)

I had a window of opportunity to nick off from work and go check the post office box cause I had a little message come pick up your parcels.
So I managed to squeeze it in and pick up these.

There was also a set of grilles for a Cromwell tank as well that I missed including.

Is the black track a burnishing fluid?

Yes it is. I have four sets of fruils to install sometime on the right kit so I thought I'd better have the gear on hand.

Ps....I do wonder if some garden fertilizer high in copper might do the same thing.

I have heard it said that Bronco's c/d version is better than Dragons in regards to accuracy.

Got this book in the mail after hearing it talked about in the "On The Bench" podcast. Proceeds of the book sales go to humanitarian aid for those affected by the conflict. The book features kits produced in Ukraine from various companies. It's got some cool builds of all different varieties.

Nice and a excellent cause too. I have my name down for a book too " Stringbags" which is donating towards the Ukrainian cause too.

Post by **psmithmags** » Wed May 11, 2022 12:04 pm

Hello Digger, the scale is 1/600. Not used the Ammo paints much,but what I had I liked, so thought I'd try and expand my range a bit more.

Post by **Garion77** » Sat May 21, 2022 12:14 pm

Hello all ! So here's a nice haul for me which was made not all in one order but through a few in the last couple of weeks.

IMG_4220 by Francis Pare, sur Flickr

So let's start with the 2 kits ! I know, like many of you I said no more kits this year ! But these were my 2 favorites of WnW and since I'm loving building my first one, but far from finish it, I went and bought them. What's funny is that those 2 kits were still available from a store I know (but an other version for the one on the right), and I was lucky enough to get them below retail price on ebay. I'm still aiming at an another one. Lost 2 times an auction on a SE 5a Hisso... Still trying to get one at the moment. But it should be my last WnW kits

or may be not ....I think I'm lucky enough to have around 8 in my stash now, all below retail price except 2.

Let's zoom in on the rest !

IMG_4221 by Francis Pare, sur Flickr
Fist off, a bunch of VMS products as I keep earring good things on them and my local hobby started carrying them. And I wanted better decals solutions since my lozenge fabrics experience on my Pfalz D. I'll try getting their flat varnish also when it's back in stock

The rest was all from the same order, taking advantage of a delivery cost... so first off are the extras I bought hoping I would have time to participate in Maritime GB

IMG_4224 2 by Francis Pare, sur Flickr
You can see that I wanted to do Airfix Avro Shackleton. I have wheels as the kit's ones are horrible, extra PE for the interior , Resin torpedos (2 Mk used on the plane only one made in resin). And not showing on the picture I also have Eduard's mask and landing flaps ; and exhaust from Quickboost.

Next up, this stuff his for what was suppose to be my next project after my Pfalz, chosen by my son.

IMG_4222 by Francis Pare, sur Flickr
Extras for Airfix beautiful Javelin including beautiful wheels from a company I didn't know off, airscoop replacements, pitot tubes and a mask from another company I didn't know of that have lots more then just the canopy. I trying to get extra for the interior but hard to find.

Next up, control surfaces replacements for Eduard's Lysander. I have 2 in my stash. Ordered them as it's an older kit and it's starting to be hard to find extras for.

IMG_4223 by Francis Pare, sur Flickr

And lastly, the extras to really take advantage of shipping ! All sorts of extras for my Spitfires Mk. VIII and Mk. IX

IMG_4225 2 by Francis Pare, sur Flickr
There's a lot ! Exhaust, top cowl for the Mk VIII (instead of taking care of the ugly seam the way Eduard puts it together), side doors, cockpit resin interior for the Mk VIII, 2 sets of masks with ones that includes markings and an usual one from France that I'm aiming at building. All those add to an already purchase Big Sin kit for the Mk IX.

That's it ! and that made possible because of a nice easter gift from my mom !

Lovely kits, the Pibber is a recent build of mine, and you will enjoy its easy and uncomplicated build.
Good luck

Wow that's a big shop particularly the 2 wnw kits. I like the Nimak as a bit odd and I suspect landings could be a bit hairy with all that weight out front and the wings/ wheels so far back.

This got dropped off today. Been looking at all the figures being done recently and fancied a crack myself - once I get my build room back. Mouldings look quite good - minimal flash and no ejector pin marks that I can see so far.

Thinking I might have bitten off more than I can chew having looked closely.

The Templar Cross Pavee is - barely - visible on the sheilds but not on the horses coverings. So I'm going to have to do them free hand somehow. Interestingly looking through historical records for Templars the sheilds should be white with a black bar over the top, no cross of any kind. The figures themselves are an interesting mix - some have the early crusader Great Helm, others have the earlier Spangenhelm (sp?) - the Norman style helmets with nasal guard.

Going to be an interesting project!!!

This was left in my modelling room while I was away at the office today

Normally six new kits falling into you lap is great. But the text I got was

“I put that container of modelling stuff in your room, I don’t want it and there is some good stuff for you to use”

This was my son’s modelling stash, his mat, tools and his first model a purple Honda Monkey.
Pretty decent start on the NSR Honda

Ya, not sure how I feel about this

Don't worry it is a story you hear often where they come back to it later in life. He's busy chasing girls atm , one will catch him

and then one day he will be passing a hobby shop when he's 40 and start thinking about his youth.

Rescued a OLDIE ....Esci no less...I hope I don't regret it.

Another rescue and a wooden flat packed train in 1/80th scale. I think I should have gotten a bigger one. It's proving to be somewhat fiddly.

Plus some tools of which some look rather aggressive for plastic.

Another delivery today - Airspeed Horsa Mk1. My Dad was a qualified pilot on these before he got bored and transferred to the Parachute Regiment proper. Had an idea of a dio with a Sterling Mk V glider tug and the Horsa on a runway. Just need to find some photos of how the tow cables were laid out preparatory to take off

Almost Digger. Got space cleared yesterday, just need to finish unpacking paints etc. Should be a go for the Sci-Fi build on June 1st. Next problem is going to be where to display the newly built models!!

Talk about going all in with the figures! This should give you plenty of practice!

Went to the local game store and they were having a significant sale. Everything was 50% off or better. I got the Dominion box which is usually $199 for $45. I'm so happy I stopped by.

Also got some figures and dice. A source book for the Star Wars RPG game. The Stuka book was written by the guys at Military History Visualized guys. It's the manual in English with some others stuff. Very cool!
