Awesome haul - My SB order should arrive today or tomorrow and I also jumped on a ZM F4J. I have a good six F4's in the stash, always adding and planning on building a few this winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 11 hours ago, belugawhaleman said: Not modeling related, but....... A new Keurig Supreme plus Coffee Maker...a Vital need for the home......I did get a few sets of Friulmodel tracks, some paint brushes an a few Egg Girls but this is by far a priority. Lately, I've been unable to do any modeling because of a nasty Achilles tendon injury. I have to keep my leg elevated and immobile. Coffee is a huge part of my life since I was about 12. Anyway this thing is awesome...best coffee ever! It has been Impossible for me to get back to my home to do any work.....Stuck at Mom's where I've been for most of this year due to her injuries. So, I stay up late and read. I did go for a drive today, but it proved to be a bad idea. Maybe things will get better by next week. Paul, Nice Keurig Supreme - it's the one I use every day and just finished doing the descaling maintenance last week. Enjoy. My favorite coffee for the Keurig McDonalds Premium. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such that I got her a tee shirt which says "Coffee makes me less murdery" and she loved it. Paul, sorry to hear about your leg and Mom, hopefully things get better for both of you. That’s my wife as well. Of course if she has too much she’s a non-stop chatterbox I cannot get to shut up. She goes into narrator mode telling the invisible people in the room what she’s doing all day and what she needs to get done. And if that isn’t bad enough she launches into me because I’m not acting like I’m on a cocaine fueled chore frenzy getting things done. I have literally grabbed the last bit in the pot to just keep her from getting it and launching into orbit. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen different methods but not sure the one I use does a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 With the current bam on Tamiya spray cans here in Canada, I thought it best to grab a couple cans of some needed colours for my Bruiser at the LHS. While there I picked up the latest version of Bandai's MG RX-78-2 Gundam. Bandai has redesigned/updated this kit several times now. The original was released back in 1995 and they keep updating it since then. They keep improving the details and articulation of the model. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 This is my coffee machine, since my trusty Rancillio Silvia passed away two years ago. It´s a Rocket Appartemento with two boiling circuits, one for coffee and one for steam, so no waiting time for cappuccino. I buy excellent coffees, where ever I can get them, but drink mostly a very good Colombian decaf, roasted by Barcomi´s Berlin. It´s a sacrifice to my blood pressure, but one, which is easily made, because the coffee is excellent. Cheers Rob 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn´t do it in the end and have to mix now. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Just heard about the Canada Ban! Crazy! Does include their Surface primers? Bottled Lacquers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 1 hour ago, belugawhaleman said: Just heard about the Canada Ban! Crazy! Does include their Surface primers? Bottled Lacquers? Paul, it's only their spray cans. None of the bottled paints and primers are affected. There's a chemical in the propellant that exceeds what's allowed so for the moment, all imports are banned. Shops and the distributor can still sell what's in stock but that's it. There was a similar issue many years ago with Mr Color. In that case, it was the bottled paints so they were discontinued for a long time. Some small shops were bringing it in under the radar but it was hard to find for a while. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 A number of things.... First, an Amazon buy....Tamiya's M51 IDF Sherman. I built this kit before ,but I found this on Amazon for $ 33.00 USD...and with free shipping! Not bad. Also, two sets (3 brushes) from AIT size 20/0....I needed to replace mine. A set from Star Decals These are for French tanks, Char 1 bis and SOMUA, that were recaptured from the Germans by Free French forces. Another interesting option. Some paint from Mr. Hobby...."Character Flesh #2"..... Some more on the way. Yes , More Friulmodel Tracks... For Panzer III/IV s this time And lastly a couple of Hasegawa "Egg Girls"....I don't know, I just like these things , something off the beaten path. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the decaf coffee as well for about 18 months now to try and stay off blood pressure medication. So far it's working and thankfully haven't missed the caffeine at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do miss the strong stuff, because it is really hard to find decent decaf´s. I had to search and try a lot, until I found a few good ones. My high blood pressure came instantly without warning three years ago. It was hard to adapt that fast from old habits, like my beloved very strong roasts. I have to take my blood pressure medication, which sucks, but besides, I actually have no health issues. The machine is indeed a really nice one and I like it a lot. The only weak point is the power switch, which I had to change once and this one seems to be on the end of it´s lifespan as well. No big deal, I always have a spare one at hand. I wouldn´t like to miss a perfect brewed and prepared cappuccino in the morning with fresh ground coffee. I don´t drink huge amounts of coffee, but the two per day really count.

Peterpools Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 PW, nice addition to the air brush collection, I've often wondered how different it would be using this type of AB as compared to the more conventional trigger system. After some use, would be very interested in your thoughts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusitanian Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 After one false start on shipping, I finally got the Clear Prop! F-86A kit today. Unlike the first people who got the kit, mine comes with not one, but THREE different gun muzzle panels. It has the original one with the doors closed, the interim one with the rectangular doors bolted open, and the later F-86E/F style! The kit is every bit as nice as everyone has said, and now you can do any F-86A from the box with just a change of decals. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Just a couple things today from Great Hobbies. They had their Thanksgiving sale on this past weekend ( Canada celebrates t in October, probably because we're colder) so I picked up the Despiae sander. Nicely packed as is typical of Despiae, I also picked up their dusting brush. On the kit side, I saw @DocRob's MaK build and decided to finally jump in and grab one. Great Hobbies has a number of models on sale and one could stack the Thanksgiving discount on top of it so this worked out to a great deal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Some items today.... First, from TREX their set of guards for the Sherman in 1/35 (Casted hull). These look amazing! They are very finely printed and frighteningly delicate...Just wondering if I'll break them before I get them on the model. Next, from STAR DECALS, two sets for M51 Shermans. A set of 6 day war IDF Shermans, and a set for M51's as sold to Chile....more interesting options for the Tamiya kit. I also got a set from Legend Productions to upgrade the M51 to Post 1973 changes. This set includes resin and photo-etch parts. These would include the Shermans as sold to Chile. Also, more paint from Mr.Hobby; more "Character flesh" Also, more Friulmodel tracks; two sets of ATL-03 for Panzer III/IV tanks In use 1940/1941. Last, some Vallejo masking solution. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
