Replacement lamp. A little nicer than the last one! 🙂

Just the job! Mine has a weighted round base as I've got no square edges on the table.

Another marketplace score. Tamiya paints, full bottle of extra thin, paint and glue racks and some brushes, as well as the kit. Kit is opened but untouched, as are the paints and glues. All for twenty-five. 👍👍

Great deal John, I could use one of those paint racks perfect size…

I looked it up, it's a file for 3d print. I'll look for it again and pm you if you'd like.

There are a ton of files for tamiya stands on here, as well as cults 3d. There's probably something that'll work for you,if you can get it printed.

Ordered from TEMU. Clip together race Motorcycle for under £10 each! Seen built on another site!

Only $24 delivered to my front door.

I haven't built one of these since the late 80s and I didn't have one in the stash. I tried finding an original release for nostalgia's sake, but I couldn't pass up this issue at that price.

Got a couple of nice ones today. I am a bit of a Porsche lover, after having driven one a couple of times. The F100 speaks for itself - great, love it.

Porsche color list is IMO quite......TS 7 cans, X 8 bottles XF 7, bottles, a few colors. I added it up, over AU$100, the kit AU$60, quite an investment.🙄

It's been a good week in the trades department.

I'm stupid excited about this fan nozzle kit for my Grex TG airbrush. It replaces the standard cap with a fan (I also sized up to a bigger needle and nozzle with the kit) converting the airbrush into a mini paint gun. Now I can use my smaller standard 0.3mm set for detail painting and metal paints and use the bigger fan for bodywork.

The models are cool but wow that Crosley radio in the background is way cool. Does it work still?

Yes the Crosley radio still works and have it to where it has a Bluetooth adapter,I finally found someone who can repair those old tube radios as it had quit working many years ago.

That’s awesome that it works still, and I’ve heard about the Bluetooth conversion. Back in April I bought a 1962 Oritone transistor radio, all original and working; even picked up a station that played period correct music. But then a month later it completely stopped and even the guy around here who fixes stuff like this couldn’t get it to work. Might have to end up doing the Bluetooth conversion to it someday. 

[junkyardjeff]

The radio has been repaired,it let the smoke out about 20 years ago and recently had it repaired.  The Bluetooth adapter plugs in the phono jack and can be used on any old radio with that function.
