Congratulations, Stuart! Do you know there’s a FB group devoted to restoring and running British military vehicles? I joined to see something of what it would have been like during my grandfather’s era.

You’re gonna like them John. They come in very handy for small quick jobs.

Nice haul, Stuart and John. I seen those markers at my local HobbyTown a couple weeks back. Not sure how many markers / colors that are included in the set.

Thanks Bruce - I would imagine there are a few of those types of groups on FB, I must be a member of a few. I also watch some similar stuff on Youtube. My Grandfather actually drove Scammell Pioneers which is why I wanted that kit.

I picked up the AK marker set as well and I love them. Game changer for speed and ease of workflow. I also bought a set of nice super fine tweezers. These are really nice and work far better than the cheap ones I have.

I picked up this 32 Ford to build in John Eatons honor since he as going to build it for the GB I have on another forum. I'll build it like I think he would have built it.

And this pile of old stuff is for a Old School GB I'm doing in April. You have to use only tools and supplies you had available to you as a kid. No airbrushing either. Rattle cans are okay and brand doesn't matter.

I forgot how bad that Testors liquid Cement smelled.

I had some Christmas money this year as well as a $100.00 Gift Card for Brookhurst that my SoCal AMPS group bought me. So I took them to Brookhurst Hobbies where I got a lot of glues, some putties, some blades and these:
