mpk Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I bought a heap of models over the last months. Mainly 1/48 & 1/72 and a couple of 1/32, a Bf-108 and Revell (Dragon) Me 110. What I am excited about is this, the God Hand Ultimate nipper. I can't praise it enough. It has saved me so much time when sanding. I hardly have to sand any cut. I started working in a T 34 a couple of hours ago and it's nearly ready to paint. It's pricey, but IMHO is well worth it.

thierry laurent Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The Dspiae and Meng ones are identical. The second is noticeably cheaper. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about the Meng. It's probably cheaper due to being made in China. God Hand is made in Japan. Edited October 12, 2020 by mpk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 You're probably right but such tools have the same quality than Japanese ones. Have a look at the manufacturer tools (DSPIAE) and you will see what I mean. This is a typical issue with Chinese items, some are pure crap whereas some are made with the highest quality... I agree that finding his way into that jungle of quality levels is sometimes a gamble. Troy Molitor and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I do know that China now makes drums for lots of manufacturers in the same factory. God hand may import them into Japan. Had I known about the Meng I'd have bought it. Lothar and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Probably won't make anyone 'jealous', but this arrived this morning from Andy @Antics here in the UK... Fully aware of the errors spotted so far - and some others I've picked up - but I've wanted to do a B-26K for as long as I can remember - and, warts and all, this has to be a better starting point than the old ID Vac I was working on more than a quarter of a century ago! I'll probably rue the day I ordered this (that'll be yesterday), but I couldn't not get one - I doubt any other manufacturer will have a crack at this subject now...

LSP_K2 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 This is a bit of an oddity. Fellow staffer, Andy (Kagemusha), sent me these two sets of Baracuda 1:24 Hellcat wheels way back in August, but I had never seen them yet. It turns out that my roommate, who is a mail-ordering maniac, had been expecting a similar sized package within the same general time-frame, so had just went ahead and added it to his stuff, assuming it was his, which he just discovered and brought to my attention last night. So, I have no idea how long they've actually been here (and neither does he), but they are certainly in my possession now, so a big shout of thanks to Andy for getting me these, I really appreciate it.

LSP_K2 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Sprue ran this Panzer book I’d already been looking for, as part of their deal of the day a few days back, so I went ahead and snatched it, along with a 1:72 Tony I’d also been considering, which was also on sale for a good price. I just loves me some sales. Troy Molitor, Rick Griewski and mpk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
