Today I acquired...........

[brewdexta]

I have the cut off tool, so useful. I've used for cutting tiles, laminate, print-board and a myriad of other stuff.

 

[Memmeddu]

Where to start...

Magnet, transformer, rectifier, relays and so on for my Gerfa Magnetic Base drill stand.

Beta B1430/B set

Apparently impossible to get brand new, maybe discontinued maybe not, still the fact I cannot find this set anywhere

NPT taps and dies set

These are from the flea market for $5. I have a collection of Audel's and like to learn how technology evolves. It's from 1944 and has a nice embossed cover.

My last 236ml bottle of Dykem lasted me 5 years so this should see me through to around 2046.

Who was it that had the gold paint incident? Was that on this forum?

Also picked up this set in Lidl the other day. I am somewhat irritated. The clear plastic is always brittle and never lasts but the packaging made it look like solid green all over.

I'm needing a distraction, and having discovered a fairly big model shop isn't that far away, this followed me home today-

You should repaint it all white

It's currently completely unpainted, and it's going to be nothing like the suggested paint scheme!

Hope it's known, long lasting brand - when stuff breaks and there's no spares

From the middle of Lidl, I think they were 3 or 4 quid each.

It's a Tamiya CC-02 kit, so a fairly popular chassis.

I'm also resurrecting my old Kyosho nitro truck, which has been obsolete for a while, but I've managed to track down some NOS for the stripped gear.
I do have a gear blank to machine a new one, but for the £13 the NOS is costing, that's a far simpler option!

Don’t put that evil on me. I’ve already poured it over my hand while filling up a marker.

I bought a Duratrax IC truck from an American model shop back in 1999. Bought a large selction of spares based on what used to break on cars I races in the 80s/early 90s.
It's had intermittant use over that time - bouts of heavy use with teenagers etc, - launched at great height in local park, ripped around a quiet beach, flipped, rolled, cartwheeled . . . the body is looking secondhand but still okay from a distance - but so far, nothing has broken!
