An Ebay bargain

I always have a look through the used section of ebays modelling part to see whats on offer, i spotted a listing the other day with a £700 start and a couple of days left, i decided to loan the money to buy the job lot keep what i wanted and sell the rest hopefully making some money on the way or at least making the money back and giving me what i wanted for free.

I eventually won with a total bid of £780 so drove the 240 mile round trip last sunday and picked it all up. I have a van and the job lot completly filled the floor of my van.

So what did i get.

I actually won the auction for £720 and while at the sellers home i bought the extras listed at the bottom for just £50, the hms hood is worth £80 so i got a complete bargain

So some pics of what i got, not all of it is shown here these are the sellers ebay photos.

Not a bad haul if i dont say so myself. After spending 2 hours sorting through it all this is what i decided to keep.

 

I got 31 books which i was very happy about these must have cost well over £350 alone.

A load of modelling spares and variuos decals

And some very handy cd roms

The amount of stuff i have to sell is amazing and  i should easy make my money back giving all the stuff above for free, happy days.

Any way i think i have enough supllies to do anything now i wont have to buy a thing for quite some time.

Ill have to get a photo of my shelf of extra paints and sundries too

 

Tamiya 1/35 JagdTiger

Tamiyas kit looks superb as you would expect. The kit comes with some PE and a couple of leaflets showing camo patterns and some close up photos of the real thing, a nice touch it would be nice to see in everykit.

Anyway on to the pics of the box and contents.

Some reference material

The first bit of progress

Tamiya P-51 Mustang

After making one of these for my mate a while ago i wanted to do one for myself. i had a bit of spare time over the past few days so got to starting it.

Great kits as usual from tamiya, it going together a dream.
