Recently we had our Distressed Kit Auction at my IPMS meeting to commemorate our first face-to-face meeting in 17 months. We called it "Christmas in July". With a small amount of money I earned on a small job recently, I supported the club with these purchases... No, these are not chocolates:  But actually this tin contained the old Airfix HMS Iron Duke already started:  I got this mostly for the tin since I have an Iron Duke finished, but I will still finish the battleship as a sister to the old Duke. Next I got some more Model Master paints; although this was the smaller container of them:  Next was this desk lamp that was donated:  After I tried to use it; I realized why it was donated: It barley stays up to shine the light where I need it! Anyway, moving on... Next I got this for free since everyone in the club knew that nobody would bid on it anyway:  Finally I got a plane I've wanted and gotten outbid on in two other auctions; now I have one:  Later, I saw a few things sitting on a side table with a sign that said "Free" so I picked this up:  I guess someone moved on to something else and decided to leave it for someone else to continue using. I also picked up two brand new Paasche airbrushes and a compressor set together which I did not get a pic of. Those will be donated to our Hobby Day Hall for people to use at Hobby Days. Finally, I was helping my church with a fund-raising summer sale and boutique and I saw this book that I was gifted for all my help:  I've already looked through it and it is really fantastic. That's all I have for now. Time to get back to the bench.... |

Great grabs, Duke! Maybe you could fashion some sort of brace for the lamp, to help hold it up.

Duct tape!  |

Thanks Bucky! Yeah, I've been studying that possibility. It is still a great lamp that has loads of years in it.
Bruce, that is a possibility too. Hmmm....

A nice wooden dowel wrapped in duct tape will definitely fix that bending light!!!

Duke, you could try something well, audacious, with that Iron Duke: Build a diorama of sister ship Audacious sinking after striking a mine of the north coast of Ireland. Images are available; she sank slowly and the crew was taken of by the liner Olympic and cruiser Liverpool. She remained upright in a foundered condition for several hours as the Royal Navy tried to tow her to shore to be beached, until she suddenly capsized and blew up.

Thanks for the great replies concerning the lamp. I'll be looking at all possibilities and decide what to do. I'll even post pics of it afterward. Duke, you could try something well, audacious, with that Iron Duke: Build a diorama of sister ship Audacious sinking after striking a mine of the north coast of Ireland. Images are available; she sank slowly and the crew was taken of by the liner Olympic and cruiser Liverpool. She remained upright in a foundered condition for several hours as the Royal Navy tried to tow her to shore to be beached, until she suddenly capsized and blew up. Now that is an interesting idea. My biggest challenge for that would be doing the water for that. I was only planning on finishing her up as another of the Iron Duke class ships. Still, it is intriguing. I got excited by the cookies,dessert is my weakness bigger then model buying You and me both Tony! Yeah! |

I had a gift card to use so picked up two kits while I was in town today after visiting Jon... the boat is from nostalgia plus we don't have enough boats on this site... built one years ago and the tractor is going to go on a scratch built trailer to be towed behind a pickup to a show in a small diorama sometime in the future!!!   |
