They've got a couple of those at one of my LHSs. Shame they're not my scale!

...its called "ONLINE ORDERING"....or does the heathen wilderness of Scotland not have postal services to deliver orders?

Well you know, Duncan, we do, and a very efficient one it is too, except for things coming from South of the border (and I do not mean Mexico).
However that is not the point. When you are looking for something but do not know what it is, then nothing beats browsing in a good model shop. Mind you even that does not always work out.
Yesterday I went to my local model shop (35 miles each way by car, and you have to park the car (in the centre of Glasgow) and pay for it) but this time I was able to use my bus pass (save the world!).
The round trip took four hours out of my day, and of the six things that I was looking for I got one (a bottle of Alclad). Oh well!

However it was still fun, and that is what matters.

Well there is one good thing about not driving there and back Jim
You can stop by the pub for a debrief on your way home.
Works for me

Exactly Jim. I always pop into MZ when I'm in Croydon (also look at the Airfix stuff in Alders now) but I do miss the old Hannants at Colindale. I could browse in there for hours. They just got a room sorted out for all the resin kits and it closed 

The new one is ok'ish but dosn't hold much of the non mainstream stock which is what I like.

But I thought that we were talking about ModelZone??!

(My local MZ is Bromley and the only positive thing that you can say about it is that it makes Croydon MZ look like Hannants )

I am totaly P***sed Off by you lot who have a Modelzone within 100 miles.

JimB

So should I be telling you I have TWO within 25 miles of me then??

I'd heard of moleskin trousers but not squirrel jeans

They come with added hazelnuts. Reminds me of the old advertising gingle for Topic bars - "What has a hazelnut in every bite" Naturally us young whipper swnappers never used to reply Topic, but Squirrel S**T instead. Now all that remains is to know if Chris is going to wear his squirrel genes to Milton Keynes??

Also in the post today, a Revell HP Victor from the Modelzone sale, via the very helpful Weaver. Also some 1:32 Cobra cockpit bits, for a planned mech scratchbuild.

And in exchange for the cockpit bits, I got a couple of 1/32nd Matra pods and a couple of 1/72nd Penguin missiles, which arrived today. Cheers Pyro!

Penguins are just on-stock because I've always liked them. The Matras will be seen if the Gerry Anderson GB ever comes to pass.....

From ebay, an Anigrand 1/144 XB-70 (minus the bonus kits, but I got it for like half price!).

[ChernayaAkula]

Got another Tamiya 1/72 F4D-1 Skyray today. Will be in FAA colours. 

Also got a Tamiya 1/16 German WWII Infantryman in reversible winter uniform. I intend to build this one for the Let It Snow GB. His StG 44 will be fitted with a silencer and a Vampir night sight (scale-o-rama from Dragon night-fighting Panther?). Backstory is to be called "Der Tod trägt weiss" (Death wears white) and will be about the longest commando raid in history. Think "The Eagle has landed", but a little more ambitious, in winter and across a lot more water......

[beowulf]

some aftermarket decals...........FCM's sheet of Latin American insignia........... Arg/Venez/Peru/Colombia/Uruguay/Ecuador/Chile/Nicaragua....will come in very useful, in fact the Argie ones will get used on the current build to save me making some

via Spruebrothers in the US, Platz 1/48 Raptor decals.

The grey USAF markings are exceedingly meh, but the large number of JASDF whiff markings are not

[Green Dragon]

Got another from ebay today.
Hasegawa Mil24 Hind A  Have two now, might do this one as a mercenary chopper from the Black Lagoon anime series.

Just got 2 Amodel Yak-28's, a 28P and 28R.  I have to say that the Firebar is one of the sexiest, most overlooked cold war aircraft.  I really wish there was a mainstream 1/48 version.
