Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

Yeah the tool freak just got some more tools. These are a mix of tools for watch repair that will also get used for hobby and then some for just hobby.

I also picked up a set of mainspring winders for watch mainsprings. A set from Switzerland will run up to about $1700 for equivalent to what I just got.

I think I got one heck of a deal.
 
I told @Greg Kimsey about my Metallic Details Ukrainian distributor when discussing his upcoming 32nd scale Gloster Gladiator project and, lo and behold, me next order arrived! Yet, there was a mistake but Damir states he'll make good on it.

How did this get in here? Is Damir thinking like @jknaus that if something is sent to me I will then get the necessary item?

This last box held this very small item, which stated 12 pieces but more than that was in the set.

OK, I forgot to mention this but the first painting of @centaur567's SPH-4 helmet needed me to strip it in the ultrasonic cleaner. My gorgeous wife then decided to spend the extra $1USD and get the better paint from the same company. Left is old, right is right! Pigment seems much finer so will try it soon.

Dopey me found these on Squadron for less than half the regular retail, even cheaper than in Europe, so stocked up:

A reminder why these are so expensive:

Am I the only one noticing Hobby Lobby's hobby supplies are dwindling? They use to stock Mr Surfacer, took a dedicated trip to town just to get a can and maybe a Mocha Cream Cold brew...only to return with the cold brew. I'm really going to have to order everthing online?
