The character on the far left is probably the most frightening

Found these yesterday at Cosford airshow.
They’re the mini snap kits like the Harvester. Painting instructions are vague, but it will be a good excuse to rewatch it.

Arriving today, replacement decals for the AMT 1/1400 Enterprise E from Bobmat343designs on eBay.
Beautiful little sheet that replaces the hull graphics on the Polar Lights repop. Means I’ll only have to tackle the lifeboat decals from the kits notoriously fragile sheet.
Also had some custom decals printed for the 1/1000 NX-Refift and TMP Enterprise kits. Both replace all the decals from those kits.
First up, the SS Endurance NX-14, named in honour of Ernest Shackleton’s ship from his near disastrous 1914 expedition. Thought the name kept within the tradition of exploration and inspirational names of Starfleet ships.
And the USS Nelson NCC-1815, named after Admiral Nelson and the year of the Battle of Trafalgar. (Also had a member of the family on my dad’s side serve on the HMS Nelson in WW2).
Excuse the blue highlighter over the images. I thought it a good idea to prevent image theft. I trust everyone here, but there are unscrupulous people lurking around the internet unfortunately.

It’s just this occurred to me that I got the date of Trafalgar wrong. It was 1805, not 15. That was Waterloo.
Bugger!
Must remember to check things like that next time I have anything custom printed.
All is not lost. A little trimming of decals and taking the 0 from the kits sheet should sort that out.

Got my Kronos One light kit and some Eagle One stuff in.

Looking forward to seeing how that builds. Would love to have a crack at that kit, but I doubt I have the display space.
Well, looking at the sheets of the decals, trimming and swapping the 0’s would be a lot of trouble. There are quite a lot of them and some are small!
So, I’ve decided instead to get another sheet with the registry I need and just swap the whole registry over. So, I need another movie era kit. Was hoping to find a Reliant, but haven’t had any luck. They seem to be rare as hens teeth in the UK and postage from the US is expensive.
I did though find another refit Enterprise at a reasonable price. That landed today. Planning on altering a few things to change it from the usual Constitution class. Probably into a Destroyer type ship.

I got this yesterday. “The Thing” is one of my favorite John Carpenter movies. So, when I had the chance to get the MacReady figure from NECA, I couldn’t resist.

Now I just need to get a Snake Plissken figure.

That looks a great figure Randy, 
, though the NECA stuff seems very expensive this side of the pond,

Got another AB today. I needed something that could put down more paint than my Iwata for my 50" Battlestar Galactica build, and also wanted something that wouldn’t cramp my finger. Thought about a Grex, but decided to try this Master Airbrush. I like the air flow adjustment is separate from the paint trigger. I also like the paint cups are interchangable.
Of course I could use it only to find out I hate it.

Hi all,
This arrived today, found it by mistake when I was searching for ‘blueprints’ on a well known online retailer.
I’ve placed a typical paperback novel next to it to give an idea of size…and just to add…it’s damn heavy at over 330 pages, but then I guess paper does come from trees, 
.
It has some great illustrations/photos, some of which might be very useful to the Star Wars modeller, 
.
Be warned, it’s not cheap, had to hide this one from SWMBI (She Who Must Be Ignored), . 
.
G,

Just got in my aftermarket 1/537 Scale USS Reliant Aztec Decals. They took 3 weeks to get shipped, so I hope it was worth the wait!

Well not the postie as I picked these up myself. Saw them and thought why not try something different.
And built the same day, just need to add paint.

Ok some how I’ve been pulled into the Gundam universe. Found a streaming service where I can watch the series and started on the latest (I think) ‘The Witch from Mercury’. So with only a couple of episodes down my fingers found some Gunpla to go with the series and pulled the trigger.
Posties brought me these.

This one arrived from across the pond. Now I know this as the Rifleman from the game Battletech and it sort of fits in with one of my build themes of 1/72 air defence of course this is a fictional sci-fi element but just had to have one.
