You're welcome, it has models in various scales from micro, up to some larger models (though only a couple of decent sized ones), however at the back is a full parts list of each model too, so you can scan through something like bricklink or by a bunch of Lepin sets to get the parts you need.

Hello again.
After selling my earlier model from Mould King the 13146 Articulated Logging 8x8 Off-road truck I bought another one from the same manufacture. This time it was Mould King 17028 Rescue/Recovery Truck. It took quite a bit as it has nearly 5000pcs. Also the battery for rc was faulty and I made a few mistakes as was not able to test during the build. So, some functions don't work and I need to look into them. This model seems to have better manual. Although, some parts had to be bent to be fixed. I did not come across this with Lego Technic in GT3 RS or Veyron or Defender. It is not that well designed imho, but better than the prvious Mould King model.



Took a video of the "beast" in a wild.

Just completed the Cobi HMS Hood.
Really enjoyable build and a thoroughly relaxing way to spend an hour or so over a few Sunday afternoons
1/300 scale so just under 3ft long, as I said about the other Cobi sets I’ve made, within the confines of the ‘Lego block’ medium it’s an absolutely super model.
The Cobi designers have put a lot of research in and most of the features of the Hood are present (I did a slight tweak to the Pom-Poms).
My son suggested I could do a June 1941 Hood and just lob the 2600 parts into the pond but I’m glad I went with the May 41 version!

I know there has been some desire to post models for sale or swap.
Pleased to say there is now a sticky thread at the top of the Scale Models section where such posts are now allowed.

I've used yourwobb and Youmko in the past without problems
(Other than a STAR UNION sticker on grogu, but that's manufacturer rather than seller)

Well for better or worse that's UCS X-Wing 10240 ordered for 69 quid. Says 1 to 7 days shipped from Europe via DHL ..... We'll see !

Was also tempted by the 2600 for 80 quid.

The King UCS X-wing was the one I ordered for my Mrs years ago when it first came out, excellent for the money.

Do any of you have experience with perspex display cases?

I have the official Porsche 911 RSR but it's getting dusty so I fancy a case for it. The ones I've found are £50-£100 and I'm a cheapskate. Do any of the "homage" sellers you've used do these?
