Such sad news. Sorry to hear of your loss Carl. Your pictures made her a part of this forum. We're glad you shared them with us.

They are shorter than my other tweezers making them handle better. . The diamond grit coated tips prevents them from launching small parts across the work bench and into oblivion. The pointed tweezers tips are sharp, rigid and grip well.

Some recent items.......note; No model kits! Some resin aftermarket for The Andy's big M 10 from AFV, and from CSM, doors for their Gruson Fahrpanzer...the kit doors have tools molded in.....these don't... I didn't want to use the kit doors. Also some tweezers...these have diamond grit coated tips. I bought a set of these before with pointed tips....I found them to work great! These have slanted tips. Also bought two sets of "cloud pattern" pre-cut masks....thought I'd give them a try. Some Masking solution it took more than two weeks to arrive ! The first week was spent moving around New York state.....Then It spent a week stuck in Indianapolis..... Then, it took 3 days to get to my address !...... WTF ! Also a set of brushes......15 in all.

Try using Walthers Solvaset.......Very Strong!

Wonderful ! Everything has come together beautifully.

Nice work Rob!

Looking great Hubert!

Not to mention decal aftermarket possibilities for all the countries that used this thing! There are already a number of accessory figures and stowage options on Andy's site. I just looked up the M 163 variant. That would be cool!

Well, it finally came! ' Been waiting since April for this one. It's Andy's M113A1/M113A1 ACAV 2 in 1 (AHHQ-009) in 1/16 scale. A look at the instructions and inside the box .....And it looks like an excellent kit with a lot of detail. There's photo-etch, working suspension, a full interior, some cable, decal stencils for every bit of equipment, and a figure. I'm really excited about this one. And the best part-----it's Huge !

Looking great so far..still watching!

Nice, cheerful subject and fitting for the season. Well done!

I admit I Just had to look up puking cat gravy boat on Amazon😀

Nice haul Kevin!

I picked up one of those a while back. I've found it to be useful. Hope you enjoy yours. BTW , I hope you enjoy your retirement... Congrats! I hope that it results in seeing more of your work on the forum.

That's turning out great! Well done!

Some more items....... From Copper State Models; a resin exterior detail set for their Gruson Farhpanzer. (A35-030) From DEF Model; a replacement Grill set for my Tamiya M151A2 MUTT. (DM35133) I added a pic. Of a Fahrpanzer....

That's quite a stash, Carl.

Wow! A truckload of great projects there! I'll be looking forward to to seeing your upcoming builds.

Very nice!

Never had a system myself...Oh, I attempted to put all Tamiya models on the upper shelf. They didn't all fit. The big kits on the floor, WW I kits in a stack. Things got out of hand after that....that's my blunder. These are all in a walk-in closet in a bedroom. Its too full now and I have moved all clothing in it to a hall closet. This fullness, for most people would be a sign to stop buying models. I'll try, (I still have one on the way) We'll see. The Tamiya kits on the top shelf? Well, I can't retrieve one without another One falling on my head......I'm a donkey, for sure!😀

This build is going to be great for sure! Will be watching!

Thanks for the info.......mine has been around about 5 years unopened.. I'll give it a pass.

Got this today....... From Andy, and his Hobby Headquarters it's his big M 10 in1/16 scale. It was on sale and I had a coupon related to a previous purchase, basically the coupon covered my shipping. These were previously $149.00 on sale For $ 99.00. A good deal. I already have the Achilles. Oh, I also got some Mr Color paint from the brothers of Sprue.

How well does silly putty work for masking? Anyone.....?

Yup, that's the one......well, not really, but we do have a massive squirrel that has learned to steal from our bird feeder with impunity......Normally I'm all for Squirrels , no really I am, but this one gives them a bad name, besides, he has a face like a rat!
