BloorwestSiR Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'd love to hear your impressions of that circle cutter, Carl. Perhaps a formal review? Kev I tried a couple quick cuts and it's very smooth and easy to use. In fact, the little green circles to the left of it in the pics were cut out of regular masking tape. I'll try and do something formal in the next day or two. Carl LSP_K2 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Well, I definitely do NOT consider myself an AFV guy but here I am.................. Shawn's and Hardcore's work on the little Meng "World War Toons" , tanks has made me re-think things. Indeed, they are small, cute, fit well, inexpensive, have a minimum of parts, are something WAY different than I always work on for a nice break, and most importantly something that wont make my AMS go crazy trying to add a bunch of crap to it. Ive always loved the King Tiger/Tiger II, and Meng's World War Toons, King Tiger looked to fit the bill nicely for all of the above, so I picked one up from SB.com: Im thinking since I dont/wont add any purchased AM, I can add my own scratch built weld beads, and/or stowage and what not, and concentrate on giving the lil guy a super cool paint job.......................probably the late dot style camo. Probably something like this: I also picked up some of the new MRP German WWII AFV colors for the Tiger II as well. GREAT shooting stuff. Probably the smoothest, finest particulate paint I have shot through an AB. Cheers!

Radders Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I had a brilliant day.... spent way more than I wanted, but then I shouldn't go with the cash in the first place! I got VERY lucky today!! Two old kits I've wanted for a very long time were both on the same stand and priced really well! Revell 1/32nd Harrier Heller 1/35th Frelon Trumpeter 1/32nd Su-30MKK Alley Cat Bf-109H conversion Amodel 1/72nd Be-200 mpk, LSP_Kevin, mark31 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Nice haul. Box art on the Harrier is pretty cool, and I don't think to common on this side. I got my ICM 1/35 Model T ambulance yesterday; very nice, delicate moldings. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi guys. I've become rather serious with the Clear the shelf of doom build. As a result I have been getting kits I began but then misplaced parts. Last week these two arrived and today I plan to work on the shoki. I am still searching for the 109 F4 parts that went missing. I also received a Harder and Steenbeck cleaning kit for my Infinity airbrush, a Pavla ejection seat for my Mig 17 and a glider. The glider is very cute.

I want more colour options. Hopefully I can find something different like a French version. Thanks so much for your offer. Much appreciated.

plane_mc Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 My newest addition is not a kit, but will definitely help me with my builds. I was shopping at my local BJ's Wholesale Club and found this light. I have been looking around for a while now but couldn't find one in my area for a decent price. This replaces an old fluorescent fixture that I had there previously. It puts out a lot of light. I am very happy with the purchase. Now I just need to get more bench time! mpk, LSP_K2 and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Although I just bought a new Iwata Eclipse a couple months ago, HLJ had the HP-C Plus on sale last week so I couldn't resist and picked one of those up. I also got a pair of Wave sprue cutters and some more seat belts. The Wave cutters are angled so I think they might work better in tight spaces. No new kits at the moment though.

Nice. I have 3 ABs and my Iwata HP-C is my go to work horse. VERY easy to maintain, and the needle is HELLA stout compared to my H&S Infinity. Great for major jobs and mottling too. Great easy to shoot AB with easy maintenance and a very robust nature. AdamR and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
