The scale is 1:18, anything larger is for special editions which are very expensive.

My eBay search skills fails me, can't find anything close to that quality on there !

ok, i found one...£300 ?!

CMC and Exoto are brands to look for.

I was hoping for around the £100 mark. Never mind !

These ...

...WS8212B individually addressable RGB LEDs. Somehow they manage to squeeze all the control electronics for each LED into the small 10mm vaguely circular PCB.

With these wired up to a microcontroller and with a bit of code I can produce an infinite combination of lighting effects. I've got 50 (price break was good for 50 vs 10), a few of which are possibly for use with a christmas jumper.

The idea came from the recent NZXT Hue+ controller, although I have fancied fiddling with these for a while.

Bought myself an Asus PB298Q 29" monitor. Feels huge compared to my old 23" Lg monitor.

From ebay and model car sites. This one is 8.5" x 4" x 2.5" (LWH). That is a keyboard in the background:

Even my wife approves and has promised a Christmas car surprise. I hope that she doesn't mean books!

9 inches ?...impressive .

Did you get them sent over from the US? Or were you on holiday there recently?

I have been on holiday there twice lately and brought a load back both times, but these ones were sent to me for doing a favour for a guy.

It would be interesting to use those to make a matrix, although lots of soldering required!

No chance, we all have our own.
Currently I have the lowest model, a 32GB iPad 4, my partner and son both have 64GB iPad 4's so it's nice to get one up

A few acquisitions recently.

A double pack of PE for a soonish spitfire build, was only £16 free p&p from hannants.

I took advantage of AK's black friday discount and ordered some weathering sets, xtreme metal and some other bits. Didn't check my basket though and ended up with 2 of each the sets I ordered, will keep me going for a while though.

Been after a bottle of this since i saw it a few months ago in Selfrides for £79 for a 700ml bottle.....

I'm in New Zealand and popped into a liquor store and they had it for $109. (£44). There's my 1l of liquor i'm allowed to bring back to the UK.

Why would you only bring 1l back?
You can't take that on as hand luggage as it'll never get past security. Stick it in your checked bags and no one will know how much you've got in there..?

It is going in my luggage but I still have to declare it back in the UK.
