Verbeek Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 My books for the last months. And more on my way from eBay. Then I like books about WWII Now I like the Great War books. Yeah, I like books and Wingnut Wings kits. 3
Paulster Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 A bit like Xmas today... and a box fully of stuff that Jim shipped to me for my Typhoon! Dang Dude! Momma out of town or something? 2
Dave J Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Dang Dude! Momma out of town or something? Had a little bit of cash flow after unloading some stuff, so I brought some stuff... But I should be saving for the Uk
Dave J Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 So just before Xmas, we moved into a new house that had an office.. Which became my modelling room.. In that time I have gone through Old Counter from my mates hobby store.. it was a nice height but I kept banging my knee on the shelf that was in it.. So that got binned and I have been using my old desk for the last month... Till my wife came home this... Its a Sitting/Standing Desks... She just moved into another office and this one is to large.. Home it came! And I have a 3 Kittens to keep my feet warm! 2
Wingco57 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Until your wife says stop kicking the kittens... Cees
Paulster Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I like books. Google is OK. But nothing beats thumbing through a book looking for references. 1
Artful69 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Okies ... Time to chip in again ... To kick off ... ever since I got that first ZM kit (He.219 Uhu) I've been wanting to buy an original boxing and 1st edition of their very first kit ... and thanks to an Austrian connection, on LSP, who was willing to part with it - I have it! Next a couple of handy reference books from Classics fame: the Me.210/410 - a handy reference for building that awesome HpH kit (and perhaps modifying) ... and an old favourite of mine, the Ju-52 - which I am hoping will be useful for an IM or Resin kit in 1/32 someday. We call all dream!! ... Meanwhile ... I'm loving this moulded Dragon Zimmerit stuff ... I did some with putty on a Tamiya kit a while back - It turned out ok looking, but definitely not to scale and rough as guts - now an effective paint mule ... Enter: Another kit for the "Late War" diorama. I've wanted to do an FAA Corsair since I bought the birdcage ... Corsairs are awesome aren't they? I can certainly understand why John builds a lot of them ... anyway, scored this one for half the price they retail for here from a connection in Hong Kong With my "Kursk" diorama deep into the design stage, various AFV and figurine collections almost complete ... and German LSP's of the campaign lined up ... It was time to add the main opposition air support contender to the list: Finally ... for this post anyway ... I couldn't resist those flared pants!! ... shades of the Bee Gees and Stayin' Alive: Rog 1
Artful69 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Time to buy some friuls! Yeah ... I'm definitely not a big fan of the "rubber bands" ... That's why I started replacing most of my older tooled Tamiya collection with newer tooled Dragon stuff. The new tooled Tamiya stuff, however, is excellent in every other way, and they usually include figurines - which, these days, are as decently tooled as most others on the market. I wish Dragon would give us the in-box option of either DS or Magic-Tracks, rather than just assuming everyone loves DS ... it's almost getting back to 'toss-the-coin' stage now ... nice box art!! Rog
Artful69 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I'm fine with DS tracks on Shermans, but they're kinda ridiculous on German armor. That said...I hate magic tracks, too. Friuls are definitely preferred - though I thought I saw somewhere recently that someone's doing Pz.III/IV snap-together tracks. Holy grail, that. I can definitely understand why Magic Tracks would drive some people insane ... I've almost had to be committed once or twice, myself! ... but for detail, track sag etc individual links were always worth the pain to me ... if you hear any more on those snap together items - or for any other Panzer type, for that matter (especially Tigers, Panthers and other late war vehicles) that are in the "Not-Ridiculously-Expensive" bracket ... please let me know!! Rog
Dave J Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Rog, Check out Luckymodel they have a new brand of indy tracks called Kaizen. I have some for my Nashorn build and they are 1/4 of the price of Fruils and will be making them my first option on tracks now. 1
Guest DannyVM Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Today i scored some stuff after visiting a local modeling convention. AK : heavy chipping and worn effects fluids. (i will need that for my future Corsair builds) Albion Alloys : Micro brass tubes ( My Harry Tate is waiting for some of this stuff) And Kagero Monographs : Vought F4U Corsair part I & II. Greetz Danny
Artful69 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Rog, Check out Luckymodel they have a new brand of indy tracks called Kaizen. I have some for my Nashorn build and they are 1/4 of the price of Fruils and will be making them my first option on tracks now. Dave ... I've spent the last few days looking around all the major web-stores ... in multiple countries ... at separate track links ... Thank's for the tip!! ... Kaizen do look good ... or at least good enough for me! ... but I have the same issue as with Fruil track links - in that everyone is just about out of stock of every item except a couple ... I'll have to do a bulk order somewhere in order for the shipping to be viable for me ... Know anyone who could bulk order without charging drug money and with certainty of delivery? Rog
Verbeek Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 I love those Big Scale Tamiya bikes. Built 3 of them Harley's, a long time ago.
Guest DannyVM Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Scored this today at a modeling convention. My first ever Kitty Hawk kit. Greetz Danny
