Ok Scott, what's her name?

 

Looks like Molly has stuck.  We bounced around between Dolly and Molly.  Unfortunately she’s a little turd machine. She goes about 4-5 times a day outside and I’m still accidentally stepping on hidden land mines on the camo carpet. Well, throw rugs. Looks like they’re gone until she’s older.

A puppy!  

Wife has been driving me crazy wanting another pup after we lost our old girl over 2 years ago. 
This one’s a mini Bernedoodle.  Should stay in the 40 to 50 lb range. 
I figured we’re not getting any younger and after her health scare, why not? 
Still working on a name.  

We have a 4-yr old mini Bernedoodle - he's 30 pounds.  Great dogs!

Just arrived this morning and from all the reviews, this is THE A-10C. I have the HB 1/48 A-10A in the stash and plan on building both this year. As a Long Island Boy, anything Republic and Grumman's are near and dear. I've already ordered an incredible 3D printed Aces II ejection seat and of course, I'll have to wait for the Quinta cockpit set to be released. The kit front office does look incredible as is, so it's a tossup of what to do.

That's a great kit! I downloaded the instructions from scalemates last night

and was looking at in on the Brother's Sprue website this morning! Do a build

on that one please!

Absolutely will be doing a build thread on the GWH A-10C as soon as the Quinta cockpit set is released.

A mess of items today.....all DSPIAE stuff.

First, their UV Touch Light (UV-T). Used to cure UV adhesives and resins,

this thing is far more substantial than I expected. It measures 1" x 4.75". Made of anodized aluminum, this thing comes with a usb cord, has three light settings; high, low, and pulse. I was expecting a tiny pocket light. Very nice.

     Next; Dspiae's Super Glue Application Stand (AT-GA) . Basically, a set of

stainless CA glue applicators with a nice anodized aluminium stand all looking pretty good. After the disaster with my SMK build I had been looking for some good CA applicators....tried the Glue Loopers, wasn't

happy with those.

    Next; bunches of 5mm and 10mm Dspiae sanding discs and connectors

for my sanding pen....these are sold-out at a lot of suppliers so I bought 

what I could find.

       Last; two sets of replacement blades for my DSPIAE circle cutter.

These can be hard to find.... I buy them when I can.

 

Oh, I also bought some Milliput.

 

[Spitfire]

More goodies have been arriving, I really wanted a 1/32 scale Kate but now Infinity is no more I find I cannot afford the HpH kit as it is way beyong my modelling budget limit so this arrived yesterday. Well within my budget and does not need more AM like the HpH kit and will still build up to a respectable sized model.The builds that I have seen are very positive about the kit as well.

To go with my Airfix Spitfire IX this lot arrived.

Now just need to finish up my current build.

Cheers

WOW, that's a terrific assortment of Dspiae very high quality tools.  Over the past month, I'm pretty sure you have purchased virtually their entire line and no question they will open up new and more efficient ways of modeling. I have some of their tools and the quality is amazing.

Enjoy

Looking forward to both your Spitfire and Kate builds - going to be a pleasure to hop on board and follow your progress.

Yes, ever since I bought their circle cutter a while back I've been impressed

by the quality of their products. I often see their products being sold-out and have been searching for these online lately, lucky to find the ones I

wanted in-stock on online shops I've never used before.... Opportunity purchasing I guess. I hear their sprue nippers are good, I'd like to try them

out.

[Peterpools]

Paul

I started with their circle cutter as well and was just so impressed with their quality and performance. Slowly, I'm adding to my collection of quality tools and Dspiae is at the top of my list.

 

[Jbert27]

Have found the cutters to be very nice and ave them for the delicate sprue items.

Mind share the vendor for the haul?

[BlrwestSiR]

I have a number of Dspaie's tools as well. The only one I have been slightly disappointed with us their stainless T-square. It's nicely made but is two parts that you super glue together. That took me by surprise. Hopefully it stays together. 

They also make paint which I have some but haven't tried yet.

all for 210€, seems pretty good to me 😉

Lucky man, what a great haul for a great price as well, should keep you busy for a while.

It was meant to be.  Wife was out shopping when the big brown toy box on wheels pulled up.  
 

Yea, another under the radar!

[belugawhaleman]

Odds and ends today....No models!

First, a mess of styrene.....from Evergreen and Plastruct.

From Evergreen, various strip, rod, and tube.

From Plastruct, hexagonal rod in different sizes. I've been looking

for Hex stock for some time......found it online at Tower Hobbies.

From Dspiae, some fluorescent green paint. I lit it up with a UV flashlight

in one of my pictures.

Last decal scissors from Tamiya to replace the ancient ones I've been

using.

No , War of the Worlds war machine experiment with UV leds...possibly.

More items today...

From Dspiae, their Push Broach Combination Set (CS-PBO1).

Comes with 5 sizes of Broaches  and an anodized aluminum handle.

I bought an extra broach with a 2.8mm tip (PB-28). Basically these

Boaches are tiny chisels. I'd seen the tips listed separately before

and I was interested, but didn't know which ones to get. Finally, I found

this set. I'll probably use the 2.8mm size the most.

         I also got a MENG Nuts And Bolts set. This one being set D (SPS-009).

This set is really a set of rivets; round head and conical. I have their other

sets and like using them......somehow, I overlooked this set.
