JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Really looking forward to making it! Probably sounds mean but, thanks for buying it because had u not I would have and I probably wouldn't have had the time nor money to go back to dioramas!
AirsoftTed Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 No Problem mate, only bought it as there was f*ck all else in the shop, I didn't even want it lol. Will getting my money back though.
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Haha, it's annoying because all the model shops in Cheddar are now gone So I have to go further than a 30 minute walk lol.
AirsoftTed Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 If I had a model shop within in walking distance I'd be a happy man.
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Yup. No where here sales clay or modelling kit either now D:
Russe11 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Antics? Fairfax street in Bristol. Might be popping in there tomorrow as I need paints and diorama stuff. There's Loco-Notion Models in Meadow street W-S-M.
Supporters Lozart Posted September 15, 2014 Supporters Posted September 15, 2014 Yup. No where here sales clay or modelling kit either now D: On the grounds that you're posting here I assume you are aware that the internet has shops that sell this stuff....right? For less money too.

JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Yes but it would be great to have somewhere where I could walk to instead.
Supporters Lozart Posted September 15, 2014 Supporters Posted September 15, 2014 Yes but it would be great to have somewhere where I could walk to instead. Very true. Unfortunately much like a great many other "minority" hobbies there just isn't the demand for bricks and mortar shops any more. The long running Comet Miniatures in Lavender Hill even shut down last year. Modelzone was a bit rubbish but at least you could, as you say, go in and just have a look. There's a little modelling shop next door to the comic book shop I frequent (yes I am THAT geeky) and he sells all kinds of good stuff by way of supplies but there never seems to be anyone in there!.

JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 There was a fantastic model shop up the gorge with full metal tanks, soldiers the real deal no made in China crap! But sadly, it shut down a while back that was very bad!
AirsoftTed Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 In the merchant city in Glasgow there's a comicy/card game/model shop as you say Lozart. within 5 minutes of that there's another 4 model shops
BBrotherwood Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Just done a spot repair on someone's 1/72 Lancaster for them. Its fecking massive even at this scale. its almost as long as my Keyboard which is not a short one either...
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I've got a revell one of them to do......Its gonna take a while... BBrotherwood 1
Russe11 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 So I totally failed to get of my arse and go to Antics today. Might manage to go before work tomorrow. I have built the Matilda except for the running gear as I ideally need to paint it before assembly. Was looking at the painting guide for the Aussie troops, OMG they have it all wrong. Revell wants me to give them black boots, green (long) trousers and khaki shirts. Australian troops wore brown/tan boots, by the time they were issued long trousers the shirts would have been green. One of them is wearing a gas mask bag, yet Japan never had Gas? I really would have expected some research to have been done by whoever designed these. JamesAirsofterAgent 1
BBrotherwood Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Did they basically just clone some British then? :/
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Probably. I used to spend quite a lot of time searching for metal soldiers and artillery etc until I found the local one but as I said before it shut down
Supporters Lozart Posted September 15, 2014 Supporters Posted September 15, 2014 In the merchant city in Glasgow there's a comicy/card game/model shop as you say Lozart. within 5 minutes of that there's another 4 model shops That's nice. 5 minutes from a comic shop and yet 420 miles away from the one I'm thinking of.....

JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Yeah, that why we all use trams.

AirsoftTed Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 I'm happy with my £2 return to Edinburgh and hour train to Glasgow. You'd pay that for a can of coke at the petrol station never mind Petrol! JamesAirsofterAgent 1
