SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

[Tommergun]

Yes!! That was my holy grail until I finally got one in the stash several years ago.

 

[BarleyBop]

sailed

Did not know it was so big! Over a yard!

New, sealed.
Like a fine wine, will have to build it for a special occasion.
Pretty much anytime then.

 

[Down Time]

Did not know it was so big! Over a yard!

Yeah it's a bigun...

 

[PatW]

Superb, but what scale is she?

 

[Down Time]

Superb, but what scale is she?

1/96

 

[BarleyBop]

Rode the light rail from downtown to the box stores of burblands. Hit the Michaels for some paint supplies. And clear 'white glue', did not know that was a thing...

The Galkyd medium can be used for thinning, blending and supposedly will be touch-dry in thinly applied oils in 24 hours. Hope it works! Figure painting with oils is now taking weeks.

 

[Pantherman]

Look what sailed into port today.

Now that looks like a challenge. Pantherman

I have the Cutty Sark in my stash. Is there a GB on the horizon?

Can you put cannons on the Sark?

I have the cutty sark in my wishlist, roll on Xmas...... Pantherman

 

[TimM63]

Can you put cannons on the Sark?

Sure. Just need to find 1/96 scale cannons.

 

[BarleyBop]

Looks like aftermarket canons are a plenty... according to Mr Googles, including these brass babies on eBart.

Figure painting with oils is now taking weeks.

I put oil on my F-100, was sticky (slightly) almost 4 weeks later.

 

[Edbert]

And I'm going to lose 25 pounds by getting up early and going to the gym everyday, starting tomorrow.

Houston?

I have a problem!

It is not the stash, it is the WIPs!

 

[kevin]

No problem.......put some of that paint on the shelf and you got room for at least one more WIP.

Until a few days ago, I wasn't aware these existed, but when I encountered one online it immediately seemed like a very useful modeller's tool:

A fractal vice, which can clamp things that don't necessarily have flat sides, such as:

Or, with a bit of fiddling, even:

 

[BarleyBop]

A fractal vice

yes, very cool! Makers clued in, and have been experimenting with different designs, with even more internal repetition levels. Let us know how you like it, the concept is brilliant.

Forget the Bren, this a true universal carrier!

 

[TimM63]

Just pulled up to the house.

 

[Tommergun]

Su-weeeeeet!

 

[BarleyBop]

The Italians are massing kits in the stash!

Classic, nice. Pantherman

 

[BarleyBop]

Ultra liner, cylindrical tweezers, flip up lenses, medium radius pliers, flat brushes, reamer.
Will let you know how these work out...

 

[kevin]

MicroMark has some pretty cool tools.

 

[BarleyBop]

cool tools

Tried the clip-on lenses... think they will be better than the cheaters I've been using: the larger lenses mean a larger field of vision, and they flip up when I don't need 'em.
The extra weight on my nose and ears may take some getting used to though.
The jewel will be the cylindrical tweezers, I think!

Andy came through today, pre-ordered about 8 months ago. 18 sprues, and two bags of 3D printed bits and accessories. This is going to be a major undertaking, need to clear a few more WIPs 1st.

 

[BarleyBop]

... a major undertaking

...so long as it doesn't lead you to a major undertaker!
