Back from another few days with my team in Brisbane
The 'Hexagon' stuff is to go with some scenery me and Tracy are building for some 28mm science fiction games, probably Necromunda or something of that ilk
No way I'd ever pay the full retail price for one of these, the prices in the two countries I've seen them in so far are obscene. Ten bucks was alright though.
Different shop but same story, slightly dearer this one. The store owner told me these Aifix buildings are hard to sell. How long does it take a marketing genius to work out that the punters think something is too expensive? I should work for Airfix :):):)
Got this mainly for the accessories but the building is a bonus because I don't really have a lot here in Australia yet
The Sci Fi stuff I mentioned
Needed some of this stuff too
Will make more of an effort to make some new poses to show you with these ones
Looking forward to doing the top one
WW1 staff car
Minor nations transport
Nostalgic, couldn't help myself with this one, will fit it in somewhere amongst my cold war collection
Some brighter colours for the 28mm figures
Excellent haul!! I can't believe you got that building for that price. Looking forward to seeing you use those bright colours!
ReplyDeleteWait until you see Tracy's House Esher figures!
DeleteThat's quite a spend Al! The Efsi Model T van (the second diecast) featured prominently in several of my own units and I well remember the orange Matchbox radar truck. My own was er 'converted' to a more useful (in the late 1970s at least) armoured car using a spare turret from a Matchbox Stuart. Happy days.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim, been saving my pocket money for a while. Something about Matchbox toys, so irresistible eh?
Deletegood score mate !!, specially the airfix builds..

You've got some good stuff here, Al. I especially like the WW I staff car.
ReplyDeleteNeat collection. I have exactly the same staff car model.
ReplyDeleteCool as, we cant get any Vallejo paints here, only Tamia and Humbrol Enamel/Acrylics also I get what you mean by the retail price, they are 50$ each in NZ.
ReplyDeleteTamiya stuff is okay Harry, I only switched to Vallejo last year mate.
DeleteOK I will try the Tamiya stuff as up untill now I have been using the Humbrol stuff
