Quote from: PR19_Kit on April 03, 2024, 09:33:32 AMFor some reason Hereward3D's 'Shop' section of their web site seems to only sell clothes...........  :-\

I had a , at the end of the address, maybe that was the problem as I got to the site/page with no problem.

OK my mate Glen decided to be mean to me yesterday...over to his place late afternoon yesterday to pick up the last of the goodies 😀
Things didn't  go as planned 😕
This is the list of what I was picking up .

32nd scale Trumpeter MiG-21 MF complete with a Cutting edge resin cockpit and for good measure a CAM resin cockpit aswell  ;D  :o
Verlinden 35th US Army field refueling set
Verlinden 35th cutting and welding unit
Verlinden 35th 120mm tank ammo set
Verlinden  X 2 155mm sets
The Masters Choice Mk83 GP 1000lbs bombs
SOL model 48th AIM 120 missiles..6 in the box .
OK so here's where things go ..well not wrong by any means..just not good for my pocket...yep I brought em  :banghead:
Accurate Armour full resin 155mm AS90 Self Propelled Gun .
A Legends 35th resin IDF Magach7 A conversion set..it's been started but it's complete.

Right here's the thing now ..just show my luck ..great score but now ive gotta find space for this following lot ...also ..everything listed below had either missing parts or broken or Glen just wants to loose em and it's a pretty wicked pile of stuff ..first off 35th scale figures ..MW = missing weapons.
Dragon US navy seals MW
Dragon soviet motor rifle troops MW
Dragon LAPD SWAT  MW
Dragon US Infantry, 2nd armoured division..now there's 2 sets in here ..the other is US Army airborne WW2 ..both sets are missing some weapons and 2 figures from each sprue.
Trumpeter PMC in Iraq..complete
ICM soviet afghan war special troops ..complete but not very good 😕
Tamiya modern US accessory set..missing a couple of C Rats boxes .

Now the mess
Some of this is ..well most of this stuff is just parts of figures stuffed into bags and Hlen didn't want to sort this lot out trying to make sense of it all .
Also everything below was free  :thumbsup:

Hasegawa 72nd Su27 Flanker russian knights..has parts for at least 2 other 27s in the box plus white metal landing gear.

Everything else is figures..or parts off.
Verlinden 120mm Samourai warrior..complete  ;D ;D..I like this 👌
Kirin 150mm US Marine Tet offensive 1968..absolutely bugger all in this box ..12 parts and his left arm  :o
Kirin 150mm US navy seal desert storm 1991 ...it's complete but armed with a MP5SD5  SMG ...wtf
:banghead:
The Imperial Gallery SPF soldier on the march..no info at all on the box about who this dude I'd ment to be as the also no instructions..there is on the other hand 1 and a half more figures in the same box 😳
Verlinden 120mm Desert Patrol .a dude on a camel..he's missing his hands .
Also in the camel box is 2 Galdiators in 120mm and a dude with a Dragon AT missile missing a torso ..3 vinyl Academy figures missing everything but their bodies aswell .
Verlinden 120mm Battle of Agincourt 1415 ..this one is quite cool ..has the knight on his horse and he looks complete..what's missing is the bloke he's about to bugger up ..but this could be changed as around a bit with other bits I've now got .
Preiser 48th Pilots and ground crew ..German Federal Armed forces set..this is German made before 1990 ..before Germany was united again and it's brand new ..never started.
Now the box of doom ..there's 8 sandwich bags in here with a crap load of resin body and weapons parts ..also the strangest thing..a sheep in resin wearing a helmet and googles with two rocket pods chained to it 😳 😀
I'm going to have to sort all this out to try and match bits and bobs to figures missing parts 😅

Well that's that . Thank whoever .. ;D  ;)

Jingo Phil.. that is a haul of some very tasty goodies.

Best I could manage of late is the Border Models Apocalypse Tank. Picked it up, put it down. Walked away. Went back, picked it up, put it down, then picked it up and walked out with it.

The first page of the site is all about 3D printed stuff with pics of various bits and pieces, but when I clicked on the 'Shop' icon the 2nd page is all clothes.

A small box from the Big H containing various small bits and pieces, like some Lightning ejection seats (just because...) a Palouste starter pod to hang under my Scimitar maybe, a Red Beard nuke for the other wing of the Scimitar, an access ladder and FOD guards for the Scimitar too, and some RAF ground crew to stand under my SARO Shrimp trainer and look confused because one float is down and one is up.  ;D

Best to just email him. He is who I have been getting all the Canberra and Javelin bits from.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The Verlinden stuff was "Top of the Range" when it first came out  :thumbsup:  Mind you I'm not to sure it'd be that accurate if he's about to "bugger" up an English archer ? Not sure the French Cavalry got that far  ;)

I'm very tempted with one, it'll have to wait. How many English pounds did it set you back?  Is it resin or FDM?

It set me back £35+£5p&p.  I think it's resin, but the solid one piece wing and fuselage certainly weigh a ton

After the failed French cavalry charge at Agincourt, wounded and panicked horses and riders retreated through the advancing infantry, scattering and trampling them in their headlong rush to leave the field of battle.  Perhaps  the knight in question is about to ruin the afternoon of one or more of his own side?

Two orders on their way.

One from Hannants in the UK;

1 x ICM 1/48 Martin B-26B Marauder WWII American Bomber (ICM48320) - Now I have to buy the HK B-25! Not sure if I should get a 1/48 Wellington or a Mosquito bomber to represent the British against that pair.
1 x MiniArt 1/35 U.S. ArmyY G7105 4'...4 1,5 t Panel Delivery Truck (MT35405) - Not sure if I'll do it military or civilian, we'll see when it happens.

One from HobbyCo in Sydney;

1 x  Italeri 1/35 Leopard 1A5 (IT6481S) - May go RW-ish & make it a RAAC unit. Real Leo AS1's were based on the early 1A4 variant, so it will still be "whiffish".
1 x  Italeri 1/35 20' Military Container (IT6516S) - Just adding to the bunch that I already have. Will end up in various military & post-apocalypse dioramas.
1 x  Trumpeter 1/350 HMS Eskimo Destroyer 1941 with Australian Decals Plastic Model Kit (TR05331) - I have a number of WW2 destroyers but no Tribals (until now). Will end up whiffish in my RAMs-verse.
1 x  Tamiya 1/35 Mesozoic Creatures (T60107) - Just another bunch of dinosaurs to add to the collection to create a dino-dio somewhere along the track.
Has a life outside of What-If & wishes it would stop interfering!
