Oven gloves ?? 😁

Ahh, they're not just oven gloves, they're Joy Division oven gloves.

😆 🤣 😂...not my sort of music but very cool either way 👍
I've got 2 pairs..a heavy pair with black and white stripes and a light pair with kittens on em 🙂

the missus needed something from amazon, and i ordered an Airfix 1/72 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I as an extra, just to save on the postal fees

That could be read in such away that your wifey is gonna get a BPF MK1 instead of what she wanted if you hadn't added the postage part 😄

Thanks Bungle I won the 1/144 Airfix de Havilland Comet 4B on eBay.

Those gloves make me wonder whether that could be an effective camo pattern for a warship. Or maybe a winter camo on a plane or a vehicle.

Picked up some Karaya captured Fw 190s markings yesterday, along with an LF Caproni AP.1, which wasn't cheap.  It's a decidedly obscure pre war Italian dive bomber that I hadn't heard of until recently. Spain had them but largely used them for training until 1948.
Will go nicely with the AZ Breda Ba 65 Narses gave me a few weeks back.

Wonderful Catch at the club Meeting Yesterday ....

I was not aware of Joy Division merch socks for hobbits?

I don't associate Hobbits with Joy Division.  Hobbits would, IMO be more into Dollar or Racey...

The WOMBLES have a big success in Auenland at the beginning of the third age , as it is called in German translation .

Forgot to mention that I was gifted a pair of ye olde Supermodel Macchi  205s.  One may end up Spanish but the other may get a Merlin and a bubble hood,  a la Fiat G.59.

I appear to have forgotten to mention this order which arrived today:

1 x Meng 1/35 Israel Heavy Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) Achzarit Late Type (MENG-SS008) - will be Ukrainian, to go with my Ukrainian Merkava IV (nb: has full interior)
1 x ZLPLA 1/35 Tori Factory Cyberpunk - Flying Car Conversion Unit Vladimir Motors FT160 (ZL-CY-08A) - for a stalled Sci-Fi diorama
1 x Orange Hobby 1/35 Rheinmetall K2 120mm L55 Barrel for Academy kit #13511 (OH G35-172) -  long-barrel 120mm gun for a Royal Australian Marines (RAMs) Merkava IV
1 x AFV Club 1/350 US Navy LCT Mk. 6-501 class 1943-1945 (Double kits) (AFV-SE73518) - to go with other 1/350 ships

Snaffled some more Spanish markings from eBay, largely for Polikarpov I-16s.  One will need some careful masking.

Had a bit of a look at that:

The 3D printing is generally very good, although the "backs" of some parts may need a bit of sanding & smoothing.

They may be a little small for what I wanted them to do, too. However, I will invoke Kit's 2nd Law of Whiffery ('The backstory can always be modified to suit the model') & she'll be right.
