I've only really found emodels. They're a good site, got loads of choice, and a good service. The delivery takes a little while, but its not too bad. I've found that every revell kit I've bought has been brilliant. The airfix one really was awfull. In my last order from emodels I've got an Italeri Spitfire that I've yet to build, but from the looks of the sprues and the manual its going to be as good if not better than the revell kits. Paints are the hardest thing I've found with these models, as there isn't a standard colour set. Humbrol have their own numbers, so do revell and tamiya. Which makes it hard to select paints. I had some tamiya paints that I used for the Halifax, which weren't that easy to use, very thin and requried about three coats to get it looking good. Whereas the Humbrol acrylics that I used on the mosquito/me262 and the revell hurricane have been excellent, easy to apply with a brush, and only the light colours require two coats really, the darker colours usually look fine with just one coat. I've got to get some more paints, as I ordered some more things from emodels recently. The spitfire, a BF109 and a hawker tempest. Which all seem to require slightly different colours,
Cheers for that info. I could really do with some glue/paint right now, as you can see its 4:30 in the morning, and I am still not asleep.
I finally brought out all of the Vintage Hot Wheels track from 1968 - 1969 I've been collecting since last Fall. Our mission was to build the longest hill race possible. Here is our 274 foot drag way on a sledding hill I'm still collecting video footage to produce great side by side race action for YouTube ....I even made a Hot Wheels "Chase car" camera mount...Altho my back is killing me from stooping over while running...lol
Wow im suprised I' ve not posted my game prints in here, I shall awe you immediatly, theres too many to mention but i'll cover my favs. no they're not for sale either PICTURES INBOUND! Crysis The Crysis print was extremely hard to find, I wasnt aware such a thing exsisted until i mentioned that i was looking for one in a fleeting conversation with friends, luckily someone had nabbed one from the Crysis preview at one of hte old i-series, awesomely enough he just wanted a drink for it Metal Gear Solid Oh i fought long and hard to get this awesome MGS print, guy in Manchester wanted 95 quid for the print on its own, much haggling later and I hammered him down to 50 quid, have had many people wanting to buy it off me but alas it is not for sale MEtal Slug 4 ROCKET LAWNCHAR! Trigger Heart Exelica This one is a beauty as it was only a limited run for those who pre ordered the JP edition direct from sega when they released it for the dreamcast, It never really got a western release albiet for a stripped down version appearing on XBLA, however the game is awesome and the art design even more so Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse Ive 5 Saga prints but theres only 2 that are special enough to post, this one was the intial first promo shot featuring Mugitani Koichi's radical style overhaul, a lot of people were turned off by it after the first game, I however fell madly in love with its angular and smooth appearance and the winner is: Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra "Mary" as this one is called by fans is ludicrously hard to find, I had to convince a friend of mine in Japan to STEAL it from the Bandai/Namco stand at the tokyo gameshow, its not sought after for its imagery but more for the scene of our lead heroines passing in the final closing moments of the 43(!) min final cinematic you'll find the rest of the collection here
its amazingly hard to find anything before 1995, Ive always wanted a Kid Cameleon print as well as SoR and Thunder Force 4.
I would love a Forza game print for my workshop Video screen captures from yesterday adventure with Hot Wheels
Only really just beginning but I have my eye's on so many more: I also have a collection of Spawn figures.
