A silly (very low) speculative bid on ebay and for some very strange reason I won. All are still on sprues.

I've seen the Italeri box priced at much more than I paid for the three.

MrsG doesn't believe me.

Oh! I am so sorry. You such a poor boy.
We all know that the brain say no but the finger are the problem. They are the one who touch the button for - bit.
And what for an unexpected surprise these boxes are on the "I want it since a long time" list.

We feel with you and wish for you that happen never, never again.

Today and maybe tomorrow.

:mrgreen:

I still find it odd that the stash isn't getting smaller :eh:

These arrived today.

Yes it is very strange! Even though I haven't posted here it grows! Thought it would stop if I didn't tell what I buy, didn't work! :shock:

So! Bought a couple of trees, furniture, a cook and a little more for my little (not so small anymore and growing :eh:

project) from Thomarillion. One more purchase for this project and then it will be finished! And maybe I can start to finish some other projects too! :-D

That's a great set Fred! I think I have two of these on the shelf! :-D

The stash growing? Must be a dream! :mrgreen:

These will ensure I can carry on impaling

50 x 1mm drill bits :-D

Carry on Impaling? I'm sure they didn't film that one. I wonder why?

Posted by **Susofrick** on 20 Dec 2017, 08:59

Ouch! That hurt!

You break a lot of drill bits :shock:

Posted by **FredG** on 20 Dec 2017, 16:29

The drill bits tend to get dull very quickly with metal figures. they have to be cleaned several times per figure.
It's not unknown for a bit to get stuck and breaking either. At £1.69 (€1.91) including postage for the 50 It wasn't worth sending a smaller order. ;-)

Ooooh! look what I got :-D

Posted by **FredG** on 27 Dec 2017, 16:38

Someone sneaked this upon my person as I was innocently giving the nice man in the model shop some money :eh:

I think I now have enough Cuirassiers in the stash to make up a 1:1 Waterloo charge :shock:

Posted by **Wiking** on 27 Dec 2017, 20:28

Nope, I say nothing about the continuous increasing stock.

Because same here! :mad:

Look what I got from Santa...

Okay I did buy it my self at Crisis in November, had to give it to my GF and had to wait until X-mas to open the box (next time I tell her I didn't buy anything :mrgreen:

)

I have also bought this Testudo some months ago and I have to say that this is the most effective way to paint about 36 ancient Roman soldiers. :yeah:

36 figures? And with one painted figure a month that makes that we have to wait three years to see this completed by Remco!

Oh and Santa brought me this:
