Barry if there's something you're particularly looking for let me know and how high you are prepared to bid and if it comes up I'll bid on it for you. We could even link up on the phone like they do on "flog it"

I did attend a couple of these events a long time ago and it was always an enjoyable evening, unfortunately mid-week nights are not Murfv friendly for geting up to the big smoke Enjoy Pat, and anyone else planning to go. |

I might see if I can get the evening off...(SWMBO permitting of course!) Pat did say it's best to let Glen Phelan know if you are coming, so you can get past the gate into the barracks with ease, as they will have a list.

Sorry we missed you, Pat! Yes, it might be an idea to go down to Paul - he was certainly bidding a fair bit, but I'm not sure whether this was to buy or just to keep the flow going at the Auction! There were indeed quite a few bargains - a number of kits (1/72nd and 1/48 in planes and 1/76 in vehicles, as well as vintage Airfix 54mm figures) were sold without any reserve, and went quite cheaply and quickly - one guy got four Airfix figures for under a tenner.... Some of the sellers had too high a reserve on their kits - notably someone with a bunch of Academy aircraft kits in 1/72nd with reserves not far off their retail prices (€10 - €15). I was sitting with Simon (Dasike) who kept me up to speed on whether offers were good value,...invaluable help at an event like this (thanks Simon!) The bargains that I picked up were a number of Radu Brinzan's micro saws, riveting tools and the like. I got one of his etch bending tools for €6, for example, and a selection of three packs of micro/pico saws for €8. The thing finished at about 11.15, and then some of us were chatting for a while. I got home at about 1 am. A good night! Philip |

And they look pretty good too, Paddy....... I got his larger micro saw at D2 last October, and it is excellent (and REALLY sharp). Very useful for getting tiny items (such as pitot tubes and such like) off a sprue without damage, distortion or breakage. Hopefully, Radu will be back with us again at D3, in the same venue, on September 27th/28th. Philip Edited by Prenton, Feb 7 2014, 02:38 PM.
