Retirement - what the hell do you do with your days?
colin replied to LostCosmonauts's topic in Chat
Pension if your luckey, we've just lost our final salary one, well not lost but defered,and it's been replaced by a crap one, retirement, whats that then. But my take is try to enjoy life now, two friends gone this year at a relatively young age and another trying to come to terms with a stroke at 52 -
An exceedingly good build, I'll get me

Just stunning -
Same here, used to get quite a bit from HLJ and even with the vat and PF ransom they could still be a lot cheaper.But since HLJ changed their website, which is a nightmare to find anything now, and upped their delivery charges it's just not worth the effort now And don't forget that PF charge will also include vat so it's a double hit
-
Expect a vat charge and parcel force ransom then

Try this place, you can cut your own size filters and have enough for quite a long time, I have a graphic air and get the .5mtr width https://www.spcb.co.uk/Spray-Booth-Filters/fibreglass-roll

What filters are you looking for

Brilliant build and finish, any history on the WWII photos you can share
-
Not to be all H&S Shaun but be careful with resin and sanding, just noticing the dust on your cutting mat

Full English to start the day up in town then a good look around, hoping not to buy any kits, I want to thin mine out, far to many in the stash and not enough time to build them.

These are the ones I've looked at, don't think you could put any thing to large in them though, they aren't as quck as a vibrating one so it's said and I'm not even sure if they would work with white metal, depends what medium you use for polishing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Rotary-Tumbler-Jewelry-Polisher-Finisher-Machine-With-Polishing-Bead-3kg-From-UK/895069696?iid=252944507778

Is the polisher you mention a vibrating type, I wondered if a roller polisher would do the same thing as they are a third cheaper
-
Just make sure your gloss varnish is really smooth as if it's slightly rough you'll have trouble getting the Flory wash off if you do a sludge wash, even using a lot a water
-
Are some of the fit issues due to the resin shrinking back or just not a very good fit in general Shaun, because for the price of the kits and being one of their later ones I would have thought it would be spot on

This really is exceptional work, the detail at that scale is amazing
