I just found out about this. Has it only been stopped from being sold no recommendation to throw out any tin you already own? I don't have many Humbrol tins but about 100 Revell ones where all but 6 mention this BUTANONE OXIME/Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime. Kind of sad to throw it all away but I have been thinking about moving away from enamels for some time perhaps now is the time.

Separate shelves for 1:24 and 1:25. For years I wouldn't even buy 1:25 scale because I felt committed to 1:24, lol.
Same here. But eventually I had to give in because I really wanted some american cars that were only available in 1:25. I try to stay away from 1:24 when it comes to american cars from say pre '80s. For everything else I prefer 1:24.

It's probably because I don't like mixing scales on the same shelf in my cabinets; a shelf of 1:43, one of 1:32 and one of 1:24 is fine but all three on the same shelf makes me uneasy.
What about 1:25 cars? Do you put them next to the 1:24 or on a separate shelf? I have them mixed and it looks a bit strange.

Thank you!
Festina lente! Good stuff take time
I've checked your current build as well, good luck with that! Are Revell kits any good? Never done one so far, but thinking to try soon.
I would say Revell kits are generally pretty good not Tamiya level though. But the kit I am building was unfortunately not molded correctly as you could see in my build thread and the chassis was twisted. But I have never had such problems with a Revell kit before.

Great presentation and build.
Even Lego mini figures build kits quicker than me.

Found the Ebbro kits at a very nice price compared to what they usually sell for look like real nice kits.
The Heller Mini was 50% off, I was always curious of the size of a 1:43 kit and it sure is small. I made a comparison to other Minis I have in the stash.

This arrived today:
I plan to put the tires and wheels on the Cobra kit below. But at the rate I am building kits it probably won't happen before I retire in about 30 years. I hope this place is still around so you can see the result.

Evening, guys
Another time, I begin with the bodywork
First job: cut off the boot lid
Logically, the doors should suffer the same fate
Follow me, if you want to know
Excellent work. What tools did you use to cut off the boot lid?

It was a great price, any Tamiya Mini kit is generally fetching at least twice that in the UK, and the Austin generally more as it seems to be the rarest!

I tried not to buy another kit but at that price I had to get it. Not often I find a good deal on ebay anymore (in this case the Swedish version).

Found this for around 15 GBP. Never owned the Austin version but it is probably 99% the same as the Morris one that I have already built.

South Sweden, near Skurup between Malmö and Ystad. I found out about it in a Facebook group called “Modellbygge”. Highly recommended if you’re not already a member there.
Thankfully it was a long way from Dalarna.
I will check out that group.

Last week, a plane museum near me had a clearance sale from an old model shop. Over three days they sold many, many models, both newer ones and older ones. The prices were insane! They were almost giving them away. I went two times: first when they opened up on day one, and I had to stand in queue even though I was a few minutes early
This pic is from that day. For all these models I paid around 62 euros. Crazy!
I went again on day three because I read on Facebook that there had been a restock. Again, crazy prices with 25% off everything since it was the last day. I bought even more kits for about 60 euros. I didn’t think to take a picture of that pile, but I’ll do it later today. I’m a happy modeller! In total I got 18 kits for 122 euros.
I hope it was not close to where I live and I didn't know about it. Hard to find a better deal.

A few new additions just to keep the stash ticking over
Perhaps with a steady flow of new kits coming to your house there is a bigger chance they go undetected. I should try that...
I really want that 944, do you know if all parts are included to build a road version?

Tbh I couldn't care less Jeroen
. I shall continue to grow my flock as and when I find a kit that I like. The days of research and sensible buying are over...now the flood gates are well and truly open 
So Mrs J has finally given up? The only thing that can stop you now is when you run out of storage space?

Very nice a big improvement compared to the state it was in when you bought it. I have been building this kit on and off for a couple of years.

Looks great well done. Still waiting to get my hands on this kit seems hard to come by where I live.

Hopefully they will do something about the sink marks. Didn't the E-Type FHC have similar issues early on? I will wait a year or two.
What CAR/BIKE kits have you recently bought 2?

I can imagine it is not the most desirable 911. I like the rather simple design and that it is not extreme in any way.
The latest 911 generation looks really good too, saw one for the first time IRL the other day. Wish it was available as a model kit.
