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

[Twokidsnosleep]

I still have not purchased any kits this year
But, I got another tool today. Sweet little disk sander from a Florida company



It is used in wooden ship building and will be used for that and small woodwork I do
It runs so smooth and quiet, really a solid little unit

That does look like a solid little durable unit. A nice addition to the bench. I guess it will be located away from the plastic kit area because of the large amount of dust it will generate. It also seems your going to dive right into the wooden ship building pool and a good plank bender might be the next item.....
Good on ya for expanding your skills and area of interest.

Not my much-neglected postie but my brother was at a show at the weekend and picked these up for me

He's back on the Xmas list.....
Really nice of him and interesting kits too.

Yup

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!

That's a very cool haul

Seeing the Star Wars RPG book have you tried Fantasy Flight Games X-Wing game?

[RangerNeil]

Small delivery today - some plastic card and CA debonder.

I was really big into X-wing around the 2013-15 time frame. Played every Thursday after work. Though, I got a new job and moved away from the game store I liked. My new city didn't have the best x-wing crowd and I just sorta stopped playing. Then everything updated to the 2.0 version and I haven't had the will to buy all the conversions for all the stuff I have (30-40 minis if I had to guess, and probably 2-3 large ships.) Maybe one day....

Thats a nice little machine!! A good buy.

If you permit the observation though - rings and rotating machinery are not a good combination. Even with something that small.

I bit the bullet and went to the 2.0 conversion and haven't played since

It's a shame as I think it's a great game - actually a lot of the FFG Star Wars franchise works really well.

Just for a demo video
But I did tie my hair back

Postie came again today - 2 packages, 1 from Italy, 1 from Scotland. Scots one ordered first, Italian one delivered first...

I've got a busy postie - 2 packages today - 1 from Ultimate, 1 from Airfix (they had a 20% off event for the Jubilee - would have liked the 3 V-Bombers but SWMBO would have freaked).

Ah - alles klaar - very impressed with them. I get a nice clean cut that only requires minimal clean up. I find the normal type can't cut that close without distortion..

[RangerNeil]

Keeping the postman busy this week!

Polishing compounds for some canopy issues dating back to before The Great Upheaval:


Paint. Lots you might think - but this is the call-out for just 1 model - the 1/48 Hind - and there were 5 that eModels didn't have in stock. 3 are coming from an eBay trader and 2 from another on-line shop.:

[digger303]

Man that's a lot of paint types for one kit.

[RangerNeil]

Man that's a lot of paint types for one kit.

And these are primarily the interior colours - remember I have the exterior ones from Akan!!

Keeping the couriers busy as well it seems - these came from KingKit just now:





Just need the Hampden to complete the line-up of British WW2 bombers.

[bfrd]

I received the 3D printed parts for my Serenity model. They look fantastic. This is how they came I have done absolutely nothing to them. Some of the parts came in a 3D-printed container to keep them safe.





There are over 30 parts in total.

P.S. I used Treatstock for the printing services.

Now that looks superb

Please put a thread up when you get around to building this one

[digger303]

That's very cool and interesting.

[RangerNeil]

I think this is the last of the ordered stuff - for now. ASV radar aerials for the Mk III Sunderland:

They look very bendy, I'll be watching on the edge of my seat ready to congratulate as you put those together.

[digger303]

I picked up this Jewelers saw and some round diamond blades with the idea it might be good for removing resin blocks on curved pieces such as wheels or other bits that are not linear.

Was only 18aud and doesn't seem to be too bad, steel,brass and plastic construction.

[BigWall]

That's a great price for what looks like a well made saw Digger. I bet it'll be useful.

Since my work area is the dining room table, my area had been moved/rearranged while I was in the hospital. I spent about an hour and a half putting things back together and finding where things had been moved to. I had received a few boxes of stuff while in the hospital and finally got around to opening them up today.

From Andy's Hobby Headquarters: The Razor Crest model, a few paints, white pigment and some snow powder for my next project.

From BNA Model World: Some longhorn cow skulls for an upcoming project, a seam scraper and some German tank antennae.

From Kingart: Various paint brushes

From Amazon: Some film canisters to mix some pigments in.

PS.....cow skulls ? building a truck ?

[RangerNeil]

Another package today - Scale Model Shop.had an offer going on Hataka Blue Line paint sets - I just managed to catch it. Heard good things about these for painting with hairy sticks as well as with an air brush

Nice pick up on the sale. I've never seen that brand over here, but am aware of it.

[BigWall]

Actually, for a Sherman to be named "Longhorn." I saw these quite awhile ago and came up with the idea. They were out of stock for a long time but recently became available again.

3 deliveries all on the same day I think the post is starting to get back to where it was before covid.


I was running low on some items. I keep a list of anything that has less than half full so this is catch up time.
After testing this hand rail tool I was less than impressed and slightly embarrassed to actually include it here. However I did buy it , cause I was after something that is quicker and I his was the only way to sate my curiosity about it......Don't buy it folks....$15 wasted. I should have known better Master Tools as a brand has always had rubbish in my experience.

A recent sale saw me net a couple of items including this Dio, pilot figure and the stowage set.

[RangerNeil]

Swiss post lived up to its reputation and I have to say Royal Mail equalled it. Tracking showed the package enter the UK at Heathrow around midnight - and the Postie just delivered it!!
Praise where its due - thats what I call excellent service!!
I now have the 3D Decals to allow me to finish the Hind cockpit assembly off.

Sorry about the hand rail tools. It always stinks to get something you're less than impressed with. Nice haul. I like the diorama set

I'm so impressed with those decals and am looking forward to seeing them go on.

Big purchase...I bought fabric

New sailcloth for the Black Pearl to try and make sails with fabric rather than the moulded plastic ones
Will stain them black and give it a try

Going to try and get my wife to see the verticals on her machine
My mom was a seamstress and I hate sewing other than leather saddle stiching

Got a nice surprise today - I invested in a Kickstarter project some one mentioned on here quite awhile ago and today the rewards came - much more than I expected....... I was expecting this:


And got all this as well:

That looks cool guys

[aur0ra145]

Didn't do the kickstarter; but, my wife did get me the mega-ultra-turbo sized Redgrass wet palette. (Some paint pots for scale)



Also got my Razorcrest in the mail. It arrived in a soft package... I think the parts are okay from my inspection. The shipper will not be getting a good review.



Also got some heads for a Warhammer army I'm thinking for building.



A single Death Korps of Krieg model to try some paint schemes on.



..and about 20 minis for roughly $15 from an alternate mini company. I'm interested to see how they're going to go together. None of the sprues have numbers and no instructions. Should be fun!

I like the Razor Krest as do many others I guess it is very popular.
