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

[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.

Nice thing is that it's in the same scale as most Bandai kits and my Millennium Falcon, whenever I get around to building it.

[digger303]

A another nice little pick up of the unwanted. Even though the army proved it to be a pile of dog do-do

[Tomcat64]

My exploration of little-known float planes continues...


I had hoped to have this in time for the Maritime GB but a bit of a false-start on ebay might have scuppered that, but I'll try and fit it in if time permits

Cool kit!

[digger303]

Sweet.
Those floats look so huge in relation to the rest of the plane. I always wonder how much they must have slowed the aircraft compared to a land based one with folding under carriage.

This arrived today - the paint for the Spectrum SPV. Talk about a mararathon delivery - it left Warsaw airport on the 15 June and arrived at Heathrow airport on the 23 June!! Never realised it was coming from Poland as the web site was a .co.uk one. Silly me...

That's a pretty good delivery time.....

This took 2 weeks from inside the country.

It looks to be a good kit and only has a half brick of plastic bundled up inside....

[DRUMS01]

Those look like some really nice buys in the previous posts. Until recently, I've been buying little detail items for current and future builds. Now I'm finally branching out to get new "to me" kits:









Might have shown this one previously, if so sorry.

Nice haul.
I'm wondering how good the Stukka is because I have a almost completed Trumpeter version. It has a well documented issue with the wing roots....so I'm curious.

[RangerNeil]

Finally got some quick release couplings for the compressor and air brush. I hope I got the size and threads right!!

Mine leak air a bit when connected to a brush. Not really pleased about that as the air compressor is always coming on at odd times.
Wish I could get a better one....

Actually not something I got from the postman or in a hobby shop but something I got in a souvenir shop while in Paris

Seems fun to do. I'll do it with it my son. I also tried buying this castle

Don't know why, the French government didn't want to hear my offer !

Should have offered the negotiator a sweetner....perhaps a Wingnut wings kit...

[barryf1fan]

Mr. postman delivers, that's for sure!!

Got the Mustang GT4 for my attempt at the Kohr Motorsport GT4 Mustang from Roush Racing.



Also got the 2 Fujimi 911 GT3-R cars to do my Flying Lizard Motorsports cars.

Is that a polite way of saying stupid??
(To offset this I just ordered Special Hobbys 1/32 Tempest to go beside the Lancaster.)

I'd never say that, but they may test you.
The Tempest should be a very nice kit. I've never built a Special Hobby kit, but I have heard some negative comments. Are they like a lot of other manufacturers where kits improved a lot around 2005 ? I've seen nothing but good things about this kit though. Going to build it in the large scale build in Sept ?
Does yours come without the resin and PE bits. I'll look forward to seeing it here. I've also had a little temptation thrown my way and picked up a Soviet machine by Trumpeter that's a little different and Is the first one I've seen for sale on FB.......nothing like a little tease....ha ha. I get to pick it up on the 11 Aug when I travel to Perth.

TBH - I don't know about the resin and PE - I oredered it direct from Special Hobby and the online translation left a bit to be desired. They do do two resin pilot figures and a mechanic as extras. Might think about one a bit later.
Got me curious as to what bit of Soviet kit you've managed to unearth - roll on Aug 11th and the reveal!!

Speaking of which - postie came calling here again today!

[Twokidsnosleep]

Have not been buying much in the way of kits, but tools and supplies oh yes!

Double local hobby shop trips for a Friday. First one was closed, hopefully just a vacation and the second one is shutting down next spring
Got my glue supplies topped up
QUESTION; do we store CA glue in the fridge???



Some diorama supplies from Amazon


And also from Amazon a ship building and box making book.


The clipper ship book on the left and the little chisel are from a patient’s wife in memory of her wood working husband who recently died of cancer. He worked at Lee Valley Tools in Vancouver and we always had a great time discussing tools and projects. Fred will be very much missed
Cheers guys

[Pacheco]

Mail call from the last months.













Brand new DXM decal sheet. Iranian and Greek Phantoms.

ANSWER.... No I don't and it's mainly cause I'm lazy. My CA tends to last about a year anyway.
Nice little supply top up which always seem to be needed and you diving right into making the wooden kits.
I remember you commenting about being interested in them maybe 5 years ago. So now you've decided. Well done trying something completely new. Lots of new tools to buy. Sewing realistic sails will be a challenge I've seen a few where the sails have this great row of simple sewed edging and it looks way out of scale and done by a child. I say this cause I know you and you won't be happy with that. I look forward to learning with you how to make these kits.

[digger303]

Thank you for the ship building references
I got your PM but am having trouble replying for some reason they bounce back
Have you used AliExpress before?

[digger303]

Yes quite regularly and they are like ebay in that if the sale item didn't arrive or is faulty you get your money back. Some shops don't have the items in stock so take longer to arrive and there is no way to know. I take a hard line with them if the item doesn't arrive within the time before the guarantee runs out I get a refund and I don't spend my money to send it back if it turns up later or pay them for it. If they muck me about I don't see why I should take it on the chin. In stock items I usually get within 2-3 weeks.
Also best to deal only with those shops who have a 96% rating or higher.

I have no idea why the message is bouncing back...strange.
cheers

[digger303]

I've got some goodies to show.
The wheels are for a 8 wheeled ADGZ

[RangerNeil]

I like the decals, very cool.

[digger303]

My Birthday tomorrow, but as I''l be traveling I'm allowed to get them early.
I so need this one.


and as we wanted to help the Ukrainians I got this as well as most of the proceeds go to helping the civvies.


And from what I can see from a quick browse both are very useful.

The Models for Ukraine book is a great read - I picked up a copy after (I think) Aurora145 posted one up earlier in this thread.

Thank you.

Picked up another GP Ford and in my travels this updated M1 in the 50% off pile at Sydney Hobbyco.


And this bit of interesting earth moving gear fro Trumpeter. I did buy it some weeks ago , but being a skinflint I elected to save the post and pick it up while in Perth.


Cheers all


ooop's I nearly forgot this. After picking up the trench digger in passing I mentioned I was going to buy the small PE set to jazz the cabin up Terry said I might have something and quickly produced this set.
A quick haggle and I landed it for 60% off retail, but I really seriously doubt I'll even use half of all this.

[psmithmags]

Needed a couple of paints so bought 2 gloss black, clear red, primer and a Harrier (model, not a real one.) Also forgot a cockpit green and couple of other colours I needed, so possibly more spending to happen.
