dbostream Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 12 hours ago, JeroenS said: I have a Scalemates account and I manage a "Wish list" there and every now and then I re-evaluate what's on there with "Am I really going to build that?". I have been saving up for our version of Telford which is in 2 weeks, but as I said earlier I don't know if that's going to take place. I'm now thinking of moving that money towards a little Silhouette cutter to be able to make paint masks. I use Scalemates too to keep track of kits I want I think that is my problem I get a constant reminder of what kits I want instead of forgetting. But perhaps the real problem is I never re-evaluate I only add more and more... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 A few days ago i said that I only buy kits I'll want to have and don't have no need to purchase them 😇 but...it's a just a matter of heart and soul...😂😂 If I ever only bought kits I got to have...my "warehouse " would be quite empty compaired to the reality😇🤫😂 Marco F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 OK so it's not a kit, but a vital piece of equipment was stocked up on today. Having seen in the news that there was talk of the sale of single use plastic cutlery being banned, I took myself down to Poundstretcher at dinner/lunchtime and got myself two 50-packs for the grand total of £1.38. That should give me a few more years of paint testing 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecov Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I hadn't intended to buy any more kits but once again I have cracked. This time it is the Airfix Beach Buggy: Following on from my four-seat, six-wheel Beach Buggy conversion, this Beach Buggy is also going to be a six-wheel job but with four-wheel steering and a pink paintjob like FAB1.

You will need ; 1 pudding bowl 🥣 4/6 jammy dodgers 1 can of birds custard Place jammy dodgers in the bottom of the bowl and cover with custard. Microwave for 1 minute remove and stir then Microwave for another minute. Retreat to cave grap your spoon from the stash and tuck in 😋👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Well, now I've got the final detail set for the Williams F14B winging its way to me I thought that it needed a friend to go alongside in the cabinet, been after one for a while, but at the right price, so here it is My plan is to build this pretty much OOB as I want to get an MFH MP4/4 at some point. I'm sure that will change along the way though and I'll start gathering the detail sets as I see them. As I've got the willpower of a gnat 🤣 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I realised @Test Valley Models was on my way back from a site visit today. They had the new Tamiya 240ZG in stock. I guess they don't after my visit! 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 A new website to me has some cheap American car kits at the moment. https://www.365games.co.uk/search/revell/page-2 The Fast and Furious GTX at £17 and the '70 Charger at £20 or so. Add the discount code when you log in and things get cheaper yet. Free post as well. I've got an order in, the site tells me about three days for delivery.

JeroenS Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I was in the local shop just now to get some styrene strips and my eye fell on this .... Couldn't help it. I'm not interested in the fire stuff but from what I heard this kit has some advantages over the Revell kit. Which I also have. I may just turn this Italeri Landy into a quick build as I have nothing planned this weekend. I'll open the box in a minute and see if that'll work. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I've bought some 3D wheels/tyres with chunky treads for an upcoming rally car build. They included the brake disks which I have already started painting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The order I made has arrive, it took three days. Six kits, four GTX and two '70 Chargers. £103 delivered. That's a bargain compared with anywhere else at the moment. Given shipping costs now, I can't see things getting any cheaper. Post Xmas sales might prove me wrong though. Yer pays yer money, yer takes yer chances. The Charger is, I think, a rehash of the earlier Dick Landy one, with a non stock hood for the F+F version. No back seat but a roll cage included, nice period wheels and rear slicks rather than giant modern wheels. Combine this kit with the '68 and '69 versions and I think you are covered for those three years. At least I hope so. Expect to see multiple paintjobs and options on a few builds in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc2 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Not much F1 stuff on here - so time to redress the balance a bit! Been after one of these for ages. Ligier JS21 - the other arrow shaped car in the 1983 GP season along with the BT52. Will do the Monaco version with the crazy biplane rear wing. Malc.
