Ok well kit has come in and is OKTwokidsnosleep wrote: Thu Feb 15, 2024 2:23 am Update: I have a shipping notification as of today, Wednesday 14th Feb
Delivery is middle of April
Holding my breath.
I think it is a scam that makes me pay and he waits until the eBay period for any complaints, returns or reimbursements runs out
Then I am f’d
Oh and he lists no returns accepted
Oh sweet haulaur0ra145 wrote: Sun Feb 25, 2024 2:05 am The wife and I hit up the IPMS model show this weekend. Walked away with a nice haul. The Egg USS Missouri is for her to build up in April!

Those figures look really nice. If I were to get any, I'd paint them up like a bronze statue/memorial you see outside of museums.Twokidsnosleep wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 1:15 am Everybody go get an egg kit for the Easter SIG!!!
Onward I go on the nonstop 2024 buying spree
Stokesy had shown the 1/32 Lancaster fighters come out a while go…I found some cheapies from China
Everyone in one bag, no instructions no fine howdoyoudo’s nothing…but half the price
This goes into the big Border Models box
Resin is good and strong, decently moulded. All the guys look identical
That would be a cool diorama with the aircraft in the back and the figures as bronze war heroesaur0ra145 wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:01 pmThose figures look really nice.

Wow great stuffDRUMS01 wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 9:48 pm Scott, perhaps it is a prequel to a new "Band of Brothers" but this time from the British Lancaster perspective.
I went to an IPMS model show last weekend too. Like Scott I tried but just could not help myself with regards to great prices on some kits I always wanted.
And more "stuff" for my upcoming 1/48 B-1B build..
Holy crap! That is one hell of a kit. Have fun with it!Twokidsnosleep wrote: Wed Feb 21, 2024 2:29 am Wow that is a honking big tank kit, nice!
In a completely different direction, I got this today from Amazon
This is the next stage for me in wooden ship building, still a kit and all precut but you have to do some woodworking for her.
Lots of white metal and wood detail parts
Wood stock planks and dowels
Later cut wood for keel and the bulkhead segments
The sails are material, not plastic
Now why from Amazon?? Well I won a door prize at my work study club for a $400 Amazon voucher.
Then I chose not to go see Adam Savage at Van comic Con that would have cost me another $200.
So if I use female math skill, I actually saved money buying this
Plus buying an artificial grass sweeper and fluffer wasn’t quite as sexy to me as a model kit…that was choice #2 on my Amazon list.
Cool Stryker! Are you going to do any aftermarket to it?smokeriderdon wrote: Fri Mar 01, 2024 3:09 pm

Got this the other day. One of the targets that interests me. I perused the directions. What is it with you armor people? Do you REALLY need to break your kits down into innumerable small pieces???? Good Lord. LOL
$200 bucks wow really really scored. The days of thunder art work is outstanding.chops1sc wrote: Sat Mar 02, 2024 11:23 pm Found a guy on Facebook clearing out his stash! Scored these for $10 each!
I've been using the tops off milk cartons as they have a little dimple in the top. However I thought I'd give this a try.DRUMS01 wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:03 pm Following the individual updates has me smiling. Rarely do you see or hear of anyone in the USA jumping over to another country and back on a weekend. This site being international its refreshing to see the passport use of fellow members like its a regular thing (good on ya). I remember when living in Germany for 3+ years that I too visited numerous countries over weekends when possible. Even back then I would try to find the model shops along the way to check out. In contrast to international travel, here (in the USA) you can drive all weekend and just make it from one end of Texas or California to the other. I suppose we just have to love this world as we know it (smile).
Hey digger, I agree that they are very small flat surfaces. Please let us know what you think after using it a while. For me, I use the discarded tops off of prescription medication containers to hold my glue while using applicators to apply. Perhaps its because I try and repurpose used stuff when possible (meaning cheap). Still curious as to what you think if it.
Do you know if the masts are tapered for you or is that down to the builder ?Twokidsnosleep wrote: Wed Feb 21, 2024 2:29 am Wow that is a honking big tank kit, nice!

Digger, how old is that UK 10p ? It looks like the old one's that were huge ?digger303 wrote: Wed Feb 28, 2024 6:33 am It was a biplane flying in ww2 and it has those hot rod mufflers...what's not to like
I was listening to a Aussie podcast and Julian was rabbiting on about how good these CA holders are. Seeing as I fling CA around like dog doo doo's it seemed like a good idea, but on receiving it and seeing how small everything is ( English 10p and USA dime ) I will have to be careful with the application tool and be careful about how much to put on the little silver cylinders. Too much and it will run down the sides and cement it into the red holder. I hate these real close up pic's and nothing to compare it too or any sizing include in the description. I also thought the top would be slightly dished...flat as.
I''l just have to try it out and see what happens...
I am not sure. I think you have to taper them as they have 1:1 plan of the parts and I seem to remember they had just a full dowel.Johnj wrote: Sun Mar 03, 2024 2:30 pmDo you know if the masts are tapered for you or is that down to the builder ?Twokidsnosleep wrote: Wed Feb 21, 2024 2:29 am Wow that is a honking big tank kit, nice!

Depends on the size. Victoriana coinage included a silver Thruppeny bit, Sixpence, Shilling, Two Shilling and Half a Crown (2s 6d).digger303 wrote: Sun Mar 03, 2024 11:27 pm 1992
Got one silver coin that has queen Victoria on it, but it's in bad shape and I don't know what the denomination is....probably a sixpence.
I started adding it to my paint tonight only a few bottles. I'm looking for a bad one to give it a go. I shall let you know how it pans out.
Me too!
My build queue is long and it won't be this year unless a group build pops up that it would fit into.DRUMS01 wrote: Wed Mar 13, 2024 3:38 am Nice acquisitions Krusty, that is sure a different cameo scheme on the SU-25K....
Hey digger, I like the look of the Airfix Walrus Mk I, please create a build log and let us know how it builds.
Ben
should be a interesting paint job, picked up a mask set from dn models hope it works out, the other paint job will be this shark schemeDRUMS01 wrote: Wed Mar 13, 2024 3:38 am Nice acquisitions Krusty, that is sure a different cameo scheme on the SU-25K....

I've added it to my worst bottles of black Lifecolour paint and the gluggy blobs have disappeared. I have yet to actually apply the paint , but I'm feeling confident that it will be like new.
Oh I like armoured cars. I have a Aussie Lav to do and it's got lots of small bits oooh it gives me delightful shivers thinking about it......smokeriderdon wrote: Sat Mar 23, 2024 2:32 pmI wasnt planning on it unless something glaring pops upaur0ra145 wrote: Sat Mar 02, 2024 8:18 pmCool Stryker!
