Birthday present

My birthday present from Sockelshop arrived and I'm one happy camper with a nice heap of new things.




Going to check out Hobby Boss as you can see, the opinions on the net are pretty good so I'll see for myself how the quality is.

You might notice the two Tiger (P)'s, I got both because; at just over 25 euro's they are dirt cheap, come with a complete turret interior and it will be a fun project building them next to each other.
The Pak on the Pz. Kpfw 35 R, just caught my eye on one of the many build blogs, once again a full interior on this one so I just had to add it to the stack.

The big stack in the middle are oils by 502 Abteilung, lets hope these will give me better results as the cheap stuff from the discount stores, I'll keep you posted.

The Fruil tracks are for my Academy priest which came with horrible rubber tracks, which really don't do in my book.

The panzer putty will find it's way onto a few late war German tanks with hard edged camo, I tried the cheap discount store magic sculpt, which worked perfectly untill I tried to remove it, lets say I got a tank with pink camo. ;)

From Griffon I got a bending tool for working PE hinges, amazingly cheap considering the price we pay for most of our tool, I also got fenders for my SturmTiger project.

Next to some scale maps, to complete the look of the many artilery models I have, I bought the AK interactive Realistic Wood Effect book, hopefully something I'll be able to use for some future projects.

So happy birthday to me... *big big smile*

Work on the Tiger progressed during the past couple days and I'll be posting the results sofar in the coming days.
