Not seen that boxing before. It's a great piece of box top art.

This is deja-vu all over again
Another Tamiya Lola open wheel kit

To make Canadian Scott Goodyear's Lola
Like I need anymore model kits or projects

I must admit to being naughty and taking advantage of eModels Black Friday deals - as PE is the bane of my modelling life I got some bits to make it easier.....

Embarrassingly, the Stash is stupidly out of control. I had it organized in here and you could see the closet floor
But no more
The model room closet floor is over spilling and piling up towards the ceiling
The secondary desk is getting over-stuffed underneath it as well
This is just the model room stash…there are others
Perhaps the Christmas Holidays will find me some time to clean up and re organize

A bit of a cheat here, but I'll use the excuse that the posties are on strike. Went to a supermarket ( German one Ald*, if you're interested) and got these quite cheaply. Main idea is to try to improve my pin wash/detailing techniques etc.

Just done a conversion to Pounds, under £23. That is a great price. The planes were (if I remember correctly) £6.99 or just under $13 aud in your money.

Hey Tomcat, those figures look killer, especially Sir Kay.
That Japanese prime mover sure is different, I like it digger. Let me know what you think of the kit after your done with it.
And that BAC TR-2 in 1/48 looks like it can be a sweet build, looking forward to that one.
Yesterday both of my items I was waiting for to finish the Arado AR196 finally finally arrived. I only have short work left on the Spartan figures so I hope to be getting back into the seaplane this week.
Oh, one more thing,... I just received my 1/16 Sherman from Andy's Hobbies but my better half says it has to wait till Christmas. I also picked up a 1/20 Fujimi Brabham BT46B F-1 fan car, and a Tamiya M60A2 including turned brass ammo. Photos soon.

I've had it for a week or so, but just getting round to having a good look through it.
Cant believe i'm gonna say this, but it looks as good as the modern 1/32 tamiya's. Not a hint of flash that i can see. If it goes together as good as it looks it'll be a winner !!!

It looks amazingly excellent for Airfix.
It's going to take a jar or 2 of paint.

I never realized the emplacement was made up of individual sand bags I thought it was just all one piece. In my estimation the kit just went up a notch in my mind.

You know, you can buy a 3D printer for several hundred dollars and make those yourself. Of course, you will also need the resin, which isn't cheap. It would be best if you didn't forget all the cleaning supplies either. Then there is the time it takes to learn how to do everything. But really, why spend a few dollars buying something already made when you can spend 100x as much doing it yourself?

Funnily enough I did plan on getting a printer next year to go the DIY route for lost/damaged parts.
Unfortunately HMG has just killed that idea by taking £200/month of my company pension in taxes for having the cheek to draw the state pension.

Governments don't want to see anyone on wages living too high, but they let the high flyers do as they please.
