The Spadgent Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 @Stew Dapple @CedB @giemme @Biggles87 @keefr22 @At Sea @TheBaron @rob85 @Max Headroom Thanks guys, you are really too kind. A little more tonight. the other wall was put in and some wires at the far side. The tops had to be sanded, I couldn’t get her looking as neat as I wanted so I stuck on two strips of paper thin plasticard. Much better. I don’t know if you can see the little holders just in the middle of the main section? Well they’re CrAzY small, I have to fit 0.3mm wire twixt that bomb bracket and the holder. My eyes are so I’ll leave the rest for tomorrow. oh and. 12 hours ago, corsaircorp said: I readied the pack, will be sent tomorrow ! Sincerely. CC Thanks CC you are a true Gent.

Tomoshenko Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Just catching up Johnny, nice intricate work going on. On 2/8/2018 at 11:12 PM, The Spadgent said: It wasn’t the cheapest but I needed quite a big one so the 13cm one seemed a good deal £27.00 but shipping made it £30 Hitorex agents was the best price I found. Great piece of kit too. I really trust RP Toolz stuff since the punch. Hope that helps. John RP Toolz aint cheap but worth the outlay as they are top quality. I have both the circular punch sets. I broke the 0.5mm punch so I emailed the company with a request to purchase a replacement. The sent me a replacement free of charge in a couple of days. Not only do you get quality, but great customer service too. On 2/8/2018 at 11:16 PM, The Spadgent said: Looking at the pic of the runners I decided to rip em off and get some plastic strip. I think it was @perdu who mentioned Parabellum in Birmingham. I decided to pay a visit today to see what they had in stock. HOLY MOTHER MARY! I don’t think my eyes were ready for such a shop. Needles to say I have my plastic strips and also my new LMS. I’m going to try and get the Lightning RFI done this weekend and fingers crossed more on the big un. It's a magical place Johnny, but be careful you can venture in and never leave... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Hi guys. A small amount done on the Lanc but nothing worth showing. Pancakes and love hearts have soaked up all the time this week. I did get a grand valentines gift however. it’s got a Lancaster on the other side too. Also as I mentioned to Tomo I visited my new favorite shop it the city and found these little gems. It’s dangerous having that place so close to work. Fingers crossed for some weekend action. Have a wonderful Friday you lot. Johnny. Edited February 15, 2018 by The Spadgent 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Dangerous but oh so satisfying huh? I used to work in St Paul's Square and on my route home was Bearwood (?)* Models in Constitution Hill Right by my bus stop... Need one say more? *Been a long time but that is how my memory labelled the place, another treasure trove 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ah no, sorry Johnny Mr Models is in Bearwood Bearwood Models had a shop in Constitution Hill, Hockleyish and one on the main street in Bearwood (which's name I can't remember) They were mainly a Railway modelling Mecca I recall but did carry all the scratchbuilding paraphernalia I used to crave as a young man All the sorts of real 'red' Slaters Rod and more plasticard and balsa than you should ever shake a stick at Funny thing is Mr Models was only a few yards from my sister's house when she left home, in Abbey Rd (Iwouldn't dare forget that one) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 @perdu Ahhhh ze old crosses wires. Yes you did say constitution hill. I was carried away with the bearwood bit, I forgot about the bit that you told me about before the bit about bearwood. It’s all very Model shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
