Latest Acquisitions

I've tried some of the Sherwin Williams store's around here, and none of them have the Shurtape, and do have the Frog Tape. There's an SW store in the business park I work in, that I havent tried yet. I'll have to stop by one afternoon on my way home from work and see if they have it.


I'm with you Mike but the special Shuretape Saúl mentioned was the real deal. Some modeler a while back did a comparison a few years back between it and Tamiya and found them to be equal.

Exactly right. However, my local Sherwin-Williams store never has it in stock.

Mike, this is the Shurtape to get:


Frogtape doesn't mention much about their product on their website. However, by looking at the limited specifications listed on Findtape.com, I see that there is a difference in thickness and perhaps the product from the Shurtape and Tamiya items. If so, not a real problem as I own a home and there will always be a painting project.

Got the Riich 6 pdr today. Much more involved than the AFV one. Also a T-90 barrel and a St Chamond barrel for me and some Shilka barrels for Maus.

Thanks, found one at a shop I go to on ebay and ordered. You're a bad influence :rotf

:evil:

I'll have to remember to bring it to the meeting next week.

Looks like the most of the vanilla C2 (olive sprues) is in the kit as the MEXAS (tan sprues) is all separate pieces. The tools and other kit that is on the C2 hull is missing and would have to be sourced from elsewhere. Maybe there is a C2 in the future from Takom?

Markings are for 4 Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) vehicles, including one with a bumper sticker

Me and Veerle had a Valentine trip today and we made a stop to stock up on paint and some other things :)

First a new gun for me, a 88mm this time and it's looking very nice!

And then something to tow my 12,8cm Kanone

Veerle bought a nice ship from Revell, the Swedish Wasa, think it's the Airfix one but not sure (anyone else made a modell of it?)

And some Tamiya primer and my first Vallejo model air, i thought i try it and see how it works

The Revell Wasa is actually their own tooling. Almost the same scale as the Airfix. I hear it is a fantastic kit.

From an Ebay seller. This will be used on an M24 I stripped the paint off.

From our very own Ryan. :ro:

The JP will have markings from Black Forest Peak from Girls und Panzer. Not sure what I will do with the KV yet. Maybe a 105 howitzer?

From a private sale on ML. $45 for them both. :geek The Firefly,most likely with markings from Argentina. The 2.5 T.? For the soft skin build. Maybe add a Le Roi compressor on the back.

Did get some more stuff yesterday.

These construction kits came from a guy I use to work with at the SO, (he is a foundation saver now in Garden City :v ) his Chief or Captain was having a garage sale and these kits did not sell. Well he contacted me and asked if I wanted them. Of course I said yes. Might be fun to play with weathering on
