So sorry to your group for the loss and the issues surrounding it!

I have been reading a TON of Arab-Israeli stuff as of late, so pertty much anything in that genre is of interest to me.
 
Excellent scores guys! Way to go, and Mike, I'm sorry for your group's loss as well.

Recently we had our Distressed Kit Auction at my IPMS meeting to commemorate our first face-to-face meeting in 17 months. We called it "Christmas in July". With a small amount of money I earned on a small job recently, I supported the club with these purchases...


No, these are not chocolates:

But actually this tin contained the old Airfix HMS Iron Duke already started:

I got this mostly for the tin since I have an Iron Duke finished, but I will still finish the battleship as a sister to the old Duke.

Next I got some more Model Master paints; although this was the smaller container of them:

full


Next was this desk lamp that was donated:

full


After I tried to use it; I realized why it was donated: It barley stays up to shine the light where I need it! Anyway, moving on...

Next I got this for free since everyone in the club knew that nobody would bid on it anyway:

full


Finally I got a plane I've wanted and gotten outbid on in two other auctions; now I have one:

full


Later, I saw a few things sitting on a side table with a sign that said "Free" so I picked this up:

full


I guess someone moved on to something else and decided to leave it for someone else to continue using.

I also picked up two brand new Paasche airbrushes and a compressor set together which I did not get a pic of. Those will be donated to our Hobby Day Hall for people to use at Hobby Days.

Finally, I was helping my church with a fund-raising summer sale and boutique and I saw this book that I was gifted for all my help:

full



I've already looked through it and it is really fantastic.

That's all I have for now. Time to get back to the bench....
 
Nice Mark!

I got a couple new 48 scale floaters I've been wanting.

Cool stuff Mark. As for the lamp why not give it splints. Get some brass rod or bass wood and some hose clamps. Then splint it into the shape that is most useful?
