From Dragon Models/Stevens International:

1/700 USS Long Beach (1980)

From Shapeways:

1/700 Do31 (x2)
1/700 Vak 191B (x12)
1/700 VJ-101 (x12)

What no Zumwalt ?  ;)

Nah, I have 2 of the metals ones from TTH, and that's good enough for now.  :)  They will serve admirably as escorts for my JAG Stealth Carrier (Assuming I ever get around to building it.)

From ebay and collected off the postie while I was the only sole at work today

1 x 1/72 J-10S, Singapore possibly but not 100% on that yet.  :-\

...and some clear Oyumaru sticks for trials. Curious if the stuff can be used for multi-part moulds.

The Wooksta!

Probably, but if something needs the effort of a two piece mould, you'd be better of with your actual RTV rubber.  Actually, I doubt you could use that stuff for anything fragile.

Anyhoo, today's raid on Uncle Frank netted a Sword Spitfire Vc.  Which is likely to become a Ve but as usual the possibilities have started to mushroom...

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

I Added to my Stash a T 24 Medium Tank al lot of AK/Mig Paints an a BTR-60 PO 1/37 from Trumpeter for 12 €  :lol:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

That is daft because I just checked the RM website (here http://www.royalmail.com/price-finder) and assuming it's Lancaster box size then postage is £8.05 for the kit going standard 5/10 day delivery. It still gets there in 5 normally. However the paints may add considerably to the weight plus I've no idea what the legal bits and bobs are for them ? So that may add to the complexity. Of course if it was going International Tracked then that means postage is approx. £16

It should be noted that although we may well blanche at postage costs here in the UK they and delivery times are still favourable when compared to other countries.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The Valiant box isn't Lancaster sized its a larger Nimrod sized box and add to that the Addon pack too

The Nimrod box is about twice the size of the Lancaster boxings I have (not the new tool kits)
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

Gondor

38 x 56 x 8cm for the Valiant and Nimrod

25 x 45 x 6cm for the Lancaster

Isn't it odd when grown men talk in measurements like this and its for plastic not women  :blink:

Does anyone even make a model box that's 38-24-36?  ;D
