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....
