Lower than a snakes belly Jeroen 😆. I'm off on holiday tomorrow mate so plenty of stash building coming up 🙂. We are taking the 2 dog's with us and plan to do plenty of walking however I feel a stiff hamstring coming on so whilst Mr's J is off trekking I'll be scouring the Internet for a few bargains 😉👍

My holidays seem to consist of me finding a town/city, checking it has a good selection of model shops in the vicinity and then finding decent hotels next. A good way of doing it and hasn't let me down yet.😀

 

Enjoy your holiday, btw.👍

I did that on holiday in Wales a few years ago but I went a little to far and filled the kitchen in the caravan with modelling goodies from the local hobby shop 😆. Needless to say I'm unable to pull the same stunt again 🙄. This holiday is pretty much out in the sticks mate somewhere between Scarborough and Whitby a small village along the coast but the cottage has WiFi and that's all I need to expand my empire 😆👍

Wow I didn't think I would build another Panigale. It must be at least 80% new parts. They're completely different bikes.

Also really looking forward to the Lucky Strike RGV. No more looking for the S27 transkit.

That's near Robin Hood's bay, says Google Maps... Be careful and stash your goodies safely!

 

Enjoy your time there!

Going on a business trip to Munich yesterday, I had the insane luck of „coincidentally“ passing by a model shop :)  Very nice little shop with friendly staff and a great selection of kits and not least paints and the like.

 

Can you post details of the shop? Pre-pandemic I had to visit Munich almost monthly. I expect that schedule to restart again soon.

Of course, here you go:

 

Traudls Modellbauladen

Mannerstraße 22

80997 München

https://www.traudlsmodellbau.com

 

They are located NW of Munich centre, right next to Autobahn 99. I think that what you find available in the webshop is also available in the store, as he was scanning the stuff I had bought on check out and told me that it was for the webshop. My first time there but I will definitely come back in the future. Appears as if you can even order online and select „Abholung im Ladengeschäft“.

There's a good model shop in Scarborough too, it carries a good selection of plastic kits of all genres and usually seems to have a good range of paint, tools and other supplies.

Thanks John or should that be little John 😆. So with all this information supplied by my band of merry men I shall go forth via Scarborough Forest and raid said model shop. I shall have to setup a diversion first for Mrs J aka the sherif of Nottingham but if at the end of the day I get rumbled I honestly couldn't give a friar tuck 😉👍

That‘s a fantastic looking model of an awesome car !! Looking forward to your build thread (assuming I‘m still around on these pages in 2034 or whenever lit was you were going to build it :)).
 

I have recently posted a couple of photos of the real thing here:

 

Cheers,
