Goin' Down South (once again) Tactica 2019 In Hamburg

We just came home from this years Tactica in Hamburg. It was our second visit of this convention, just like last year it made a lot of fun, many nice people to meet, great gaming tables and a chilling mood.

You may know that I am not the best photographer but in the next days I will upload my pictures of the Hamburg Tactica 2019. But at the moment I am exhausted, today was a long day.

Update:
Not exhausted enough not to make some pictures of the minis I bought today, seems like some more closer looks are coming soon. And no, this will not become the ww3modelzone rather it would become the www2modelzone.

Beside some plastic for "TANKS The Modern Age" which I preordered at Frontline Games (great service guys), I got the "Team Yankee" Hammerfall starterbox and some small tools.

And I had the chance to get some of the miniatures which were made for hte Tactica only.

The first mini is this years Tactica exclusive miniature, a figure of the German ww2 submarine commander Carl Emmermann, which was almost sold out when we arrived at 11am. Next in line is last years Tactica miniature of the German explorer Heinrich Barth. On the third position is the German emperor Wilhelm the first, the Tactica 2016s miniature.

Pretty nice minis which are worth their own posts.

I ♥ Freebies

 

 

 

A friend of mine quit his slotracing hobby after more then two decades. He sold most of his cars and tracks but kept some stuff for me. Whe I unpacked all the stuff at home, I was surprised by the amount of stuff.

Even when I will not keep all of this stuff, let me say thank you for the stuff once again.

At the moment I am preparing a follow-up for this post.  I will write about it in the later evening.

Fleamarket Discoveries

I love fleamarkets, there can be found a lot of useful and useless stuff, that's the shit I need. Whenever I hear of a fleamarket in my town, I try to visit it. I always wanted to write about my fleamarket finds since I started this blog and now it is the time to do it, I will not include any prices for it, but when it was bought, be sure it was cheap.

We have a big monthly fleamarket in the local exhibition hall and I visit it everytime, I think the best time ist right when it starts (8a.m.), there are less visitors than later and the best things (lol) are still available. Sometimes I make a second visit just before it closes, I think than you can get the best prices, most sellers are happy for every piece that they will not have to carry back home.

Let's take a look, what I found today:

- Body Counts first debut album, I remember this record was the killer when it came out while I was a teenager.

- some comics, one anthology of the Freak Brothers and three issues of Judge Dredd (he is the law).

- 2 diecast cars and a diecast helicopter for a future project

and, last but not least, an old boardgame called Anno 4000, I don't know if I will ever find more players for this, but I couldn't resist when the seller told me the price.

I am happy with my new stuff, and on the way back I bought some fresh buns for breakfast. Can a day start better ?

Maybe the list will be updated, I will visit the market with a friend before it closes, I will see, how much I can drop the prices of some things that interested me.

Great Find At Ebay

About 1 1/2 weeks I found this on the bay.
Hm, I think I've seen the sprue with the figures on the picture somewhere else before and after some search on the web, I decided that I must have that stuff.


Today it arrived. And what a surprise, I got the ESCI Wirbelwind manual that was not included in my Wirbelwind kit. The auction also included an old Fujimi BMW motorbike and some spare parts. Great, I like the old Fujime/Nitto kits, even if the are harder to get than the usual Revell/Italeri stuff.


But I did not bid only for the BMW. Maybe, if you watched the first picture, you already have seen what made this auction so interesting for me.

So here it is, I got my (first?) ESCI Nebelwerfer kit, hooray for that. Since I started with modelling I wanted to have one of these kits. And now I got it. For an unbeatable price, in my opinion. I don't think 5,55 (p&p included) was not too much for this stuff, or do you ?

By the way, I will re-structure some elements of this blog on the weekend, also the link list. So if you want your site or blog linked, please leave a comment or send me an email, the adress can be found below the links on the right side.
