Munitions Train

[Beano Boy]

You might recall that I made mention of e-mailing AIRFIX?

WEll I recieved an e-mail from AIRFIX ,
Which clearly stated because I`d sent to many e-mails in the course of 10 minutes,
that they had black listed my e-mail address ___making it not possible for me to send an e-mail.
This they informed me was taken to avoid abuse.
It was caused by their e-mailing system not through any fault of mine.
Yes I realize that it was a machine that sent that e-mail.
So the eccentric Cowboy, was correct it went into the SPAM FILTER BOX! " Yip! As sure as recalling how I shot off my right toe while reaching for my new gun, I said that would happen BB."

" You sure did Pard!"

After 24 hours that ban was lifted and so I requested the three parts needed for me to finish my last Panzer VI Mk II.

This could be a cleaver ploy on their part.
Let a Machine handle it this way.
If people with complaints give up sending request e-mails to AIRFIX,
AIRFIX, would save time and more to the point money. BB

I am very much looking forward to more progress on these trains. Labor of love is on full display!

[Beano Boy]

Yes progress,sorry i`m a bit slow from taking me Morphine!



However today is a Jam Butty day & hot Tea,and six Assault Guns are on the sticking together menu workwise no!______Hobbywise yes. ________ One cannot rush a good headache,or a train.



Up gunning the light tank.



Successful upgrade or what?

On my little table.





Managed some kits though. Just a few more no figures at this point.



These are tiny so two to a wagon load. Another day closer,but wait some more just arrived.
Thank Goodness for that,they were Mrs B,s Hiking Boots for winter dog walks. BB

BITS & PIECES

It was just turning 10 PM,and another freezing night,had descended upon Fiddle Wood. I had cut the first parts that make up the hulls off earlier,so I had a nice head start as I began gluing up the first one.



I had decided to work and complete all six at the same time.



They were all completed a little before 2 AM.



I have some track to make from Green Stuff to add frontal protection on all these later. BB

My parts needed from AIRFIX,arrived today in a blister pack. It is an automated computer system so no real customer service as such.After sending me three E-mails the machine then informs those at the end of the line,the parts that are needed.




The miss-run main part on the right.




Now I can glue up my last Panzer IV____________________ as well as the Trucks. BB

Always nice to see that this kind of things come to a happy end! Even when it is done by a computer!

I think they are great. Unfortunately they has been sold out at the crisis. So I have to wait a little before I can add them to my Desert War Collection.

[Beano Boy]

It only took seven days for my replacement parts to arrive. BB

[Beano Boy]

I forgot to mention Peter,the tracks are now on those Revell ,Self Propelled Guns! BB

I saw Jans,`as in the Link above', painted up and decided to add two boxes
These are for the Allied Train.

I am so slow at learning PC skills, after all these years on the Forum
I have only just found out how to put a Link to another topic. BB

[Beano Boy]

My package arrived with damage to the cardboard box both halftrack kits were packed up in. I always photograph damaged packages in order to supply proof by E Mail.
This is good advice to pass on.
As you can see one box got wacked good and proper,but all sprues were A OK inside.
I bought these two on Model Hobbies, and saved £10.00,by not trading on E Bay!



These six halftracks will suit my needs just right. BB

With the rattling of heavy railway bogies riding the rails once again ......



….. and after two years of absence I returned to fudge out information concerning the metal shield of the smaller anti-aircraft gun on view and the 1/76 scale armoured car.
So i thought I`d add the new photographs here. i am glad the old AIRFIX Company that went bust in the early 1980`s had the foresight to do stuff in this scale. A simple kit for me.



I need to find the gunner his seat and re-fix them.



There are quite a few pictures missing. Obliterated photographs from this old topic, casualties due to the Freepost Wars of 2016. I wonder who won?
I`m running a few trains and chilling out between writing stuff.
A much easier pace of living for me from now on.Gunnar will understand why? BB

[Beano Boy]

i guess 3 pictures left are better than none.
How many pictures of yours are left on this Forum?
Possibly some have given up posting or even visiting us altogether.
i believe that we could all make this Beanno`s Figure Forum,
a great little place again.

In my Regimental G Squadron we had a saying when things got rough.
It was and still is Carborundum, which had the hidden meaning of
Don`t Let The Bast..ds Wear You Down. BB
