From Andy's Hobby HQ, I got quite a bit.
3 marvellous kits, great buys...can't decide if I like the AEG or the Junkers best . They both have such unique characteristics.
The other kits are nice too, but these 3 light my eyes up.

Gotta have both...
Fell in love with the Swedish TD line in World of Tanks, so I got a Strv 103. Still waiting on some of the other aftermarket to show up.
It's not really a plastic model. But happened across a full metal airsoft DL-44 from Star Wars. I've never played airsoft; but, this will make a great wall hangar for the man cave.

Be prepared for many questions. I am thinking of doing it in black, like the one in the film 'Bullitt'

. I did have a scan through a couple of sites for the Mustang, but couldn't find it. However, it wouldn't look right without the Mustang would it...

. You're gonna have some serious fun with that. I have only tried one tank and had such a calamity with the tracks I still have flashbacks (all my fault. Too impatient, heavy handed and no proper planning)Yeah some of these tracks are the pits. Beginning to think I should just grit my teeth and buy the 3d printed or fruils.psmithmags wrote: Tue Jun 27, 2023 11:50 amGot to admit,that looks immensediggerman wrote: This is the proper way with a huge chunk of metal and a big gun/ bunker buster.

A bare metal finish......man that's hrs of sanding and polishing.RangerNeil wrote: Tue Jun 27, 2023 9:58 pm These got delivered today I thought I'd see how the Trimotor looks compared to the first.
Those are great boxes and there are lots of those types out there. I have some of the same type which I sometimes use for the bigger builds to help keep all the parts for a particular step together. One problem I found with mine was the little partitions are moveable.........tick, but the box can flex ( cheaper box ) a little and parts can slip under these partitions. So I grabbed the caulking gun, loaded silicone and glued them down. Nothing moves now and everything stays where it should.Twokidsnosleep wrote: Thu Jun 29, 2023 3:08 am Some fon from Amazon
Little boxes like my big Dewalt one
They are stackable and lock together
I ordered more before I posted this

I will try at some point though.
Sorry the pic is a bit crap.

If its an Android type - tap on the "Gallery" icon and then tap on the photo to open it once its loaded. Theres a row of icons that appear under - the one like a pencil is the "Edit" one. Tap on that and another row of icons appears. First one should be like an anti-clockwise rotating arrow - tap that and it will rotate the image 90 degrees. Keep tapping until the photo is in the orientation you want - then tap on "Save" at the top right of the screen.

A bit of eye candy...love the photo books.....and a little 3d upgrade for a soviet truck.
Ps...sorry about the loppy pic. I held the camera wrong way round and I can't get it straight.

My trouble was I tired to spin it after I had loaded it into Imgur. Don't really recall thatDRUMS01 wrote: Fri Jul 07, 2023 1:39 am OK digger, don't think for one minute that your going to get by with the rivet maker without a comment. If I recall, you gave two of us a hard time when I was applying rivets on 1/32 Arado; and here you are going to be a rivet counter? Seriously though, they look like a nice set for various scales and applications.
Also wondering how your going to show the European Tram once built. Will it be something like a WW2 street fighting diorama with figures perhaps?
Let me know when your building your Churchill AVRE and perhaps I can build mine with the bridge at the same time?
Can't let that discount be wasted....RangerNeil wrote: Tue Jul 11, 2023 4:57 pm The man from Amazon called today - seems my employee discount is about to be cancelled cos of retiring last year so I'm using it as funds permit.......
And this has been getting good write-ups/reviews on the various Farcebook.modelling groups so I thought I'd give it a try!
Very useful addition to the armoury.
I think these probably would have been used by the Luftwaffe. I haven't been able to find much about these.I love that engine hoist set, especially combined with the bench. There is a good diorama in there somewhere.digger303 wrote: Thu Jul 13, 2023 11:03 am I bought this miniart and not sure if I'll ever use it, but it seemed prudent.
Now these will get used for sure.
I have a diarama fermenting away in my head that I would like to do. So this workshop equipment will be very useful.
The wheeled gen set is very rare in these parts and I originally had a idea that I would need one for another dio, but I've since realised it is too big
for what I was going to do and would never have been used in that setting. So I have to find another use for it

I have a table saw, but would like a band saw too. I had a battle to get my saw through the door way into the room. Unfortunately my floor isn't any where near level and that's caused issues along the way.
Happy times.
I've got the old version of one of these Chinese saws. Has a 12 inch blade weighs 418lb so pretty similar in size. I haven't quite got my saw blade aliened properly to the fence and to the dove tail that's cut into the table top. I really should do it, but it's so dirty and hard to get too....Twokidsnosleep wrote: Sat Jul 15, 2023 2:49 amThank you, I am exhausted moving stuff around in the sundigger303 wrote: Sat Jul 15, 2023 2:33 am Wow that's what I call a shopping day heaven.

Yes it is a solid mid level saw. Will be safer than my old craftsman that will serve as an outfeed table or something
Very happy this saw came with a rolling base for moving it here and for having it mobile in my shop
