Well I was at the Brighton Model World this weekend and the place was just full of fantastic displays and retailers selling all sorts of cool tools and kits. As usual I was weak and bought all this stuff.![]() This was just too much too resist. Digital Vernier Caliper for only £16 for easy and extremely accurate, internal & external, measuring. Mmmmm ![]() These Mini-Clamps looked very useful...... ![]() ..as did this hand vice for working on small stuff... ![]() ...some very handy and cheap (£1.95 for 1m) copper chain in different sizes..... ![]() ... copper wire normally used for transformer winding..... ![]() ...jewelery wire (don't ask) useful for making all sorts of chain links and loops...... ![]() ...some interesting ready riveted bridge plates from a 'Wills' railway modelling kit.... ![]() ...a very interesting old kit with lots of useful bits... ![]() ...and finally a 1:76 Churhill Bridgelayer kit. Lots of lovely complex engineering. Oooh I feel a conversion coming on for a Basilisk!!!! |

So have I and that's why I just snapped it up when I saw it. It was the only one there too. Heh, heh!It's very nice and it's mine, ALL MINE! Keep an eye on my next thread as it will be a scratch bulit version of this kit on a Basilisk Chassis. Hope to be starting it tonight and will enter it for the PC Comp if I finish it on time. I did say in a couple of topic threads that I was going there this weekend. Maybe I shoiuld have put up a new topic to announce it. Well just for advance notice it will be on again on the 11th, 12th & 13th Feb 2011. It's well woeth it as there are some fantastic display dioramas and trains, etc........ I'll make announcements for any other shows that I go to |
