Jesus have a look here. https://acrylicosvallejo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/vallejo-stepbystep-using-vallejo-varnishes-EN.pdf If still having problems email Vallejo. They have hot customer service dept. Further up this topic I mentioned about these spots. It was to the effect make sure your paint coat is fully cured. The paint holds moisture until fully cured. Also tried Alclad 11 Laquer which is superb.

Jesus just wonder if you have a defective bottle of the varnish. Not had the problems. What room temperature do you have on average. My be the spots are varnish drying from the brush to the model. Laurie

A just lovely character. Missed this Vince. Met him a number of times. Very quiet unassuming character but at the heart of the community. Not much he did not know about the occupation by the NAZI of Jersey. Other side. He was a school teacher & worked hard for his pupils. He would ring us every year. Have you any room for one of my boys who wants to become an architect. Sad loss. Laurie

Thanks for the replies much appreciated. Got one Mike but forgot I had one. This is what I am after but wonder if they are out of production. They come in 3 types & the sticky on the end has various sticky strengths. Also twists of while holding the pressure on the piece being glued. http://

Trying to find what looks like a cotton bud with a sticky end. For placing items when glueing. Or any brilliant ideas on making your own. Laurie

Thanks Mike. Like your caption growing older. My wife moans & I tell her there is far worse. Laurie

Here goes another try. Slow progress but progress. Laurie http://

Slow progress but progress. Laurie Apologies pictures did not appear. Watch this space.

Thank you very much. Still recovering but getting back into this scene is a tonic. This is part of the Falklands Diormama. 16 models so far another perhaps 4 to go. Then 1/72 hung from the ceiling of the Widawake Falkands types. http://

Away for a while with operations but now back in flight. A helicopter for my Falklands diorama. Info help advice accepted & much appreciated. http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http://

Thanks Steve. Laurie

Buying an Itlaieri Has3. Masks not available but they are for the HU5. Does any one know if the HU5 masks will fit the HAS3 Thanks Laurie

Cklasse. Yes just two to go on my Falklands. But jumping about between finishing Falkland, Afghanistan & Jersey Airport 1960.Will fully reply in a couple of weeks. Hit my leg on my computer box & ended in hospital with an operation. Happy new year will be back to you. Laurie

Should have said as it such a nice looking Aircraft. Another De Havilland Amazing first flight September 1945. 3 months after Germany Surrendered WW11.

Second got binned the first some time ago. Cannot remember why. The Dove to be added as part of my 1950/60 Diorama of Jersey Airport C.I. http://

Yes like my wife 😃

Well that is sad. Some in my life work have since disappeared but great to see those still around. To me that is life what else is there friendship.

Well 50 years as an architect to the day. One or two rough days but loved the rest. Meeting people. Common thought that architects sit at a drawing board all day. Now off to see client. Meet planning Officers. Argument, loved them, with building inspectors. See plumber. Meet with electrician. Visit 2 or 3 building sites a day. Air con man consultation. Meeting Structural Engineer. Boring meet with Quantity Surveyor. The a bit of design work on the drawing board. Yes great working life. Always worked as a team & had great results with help from all of the team. Miss the comradeship.

Tell us more John ???!!!**&& Laurie

Like it. Did not think of retirement as an end to part of my life. Just change with more opportunities for other things. Also even now at approaching 84 |I like to keep the brain working at it's mamximum. Although not having an activity which earns money i have revelled in learning to cook. That has brought a great interest into my life. Not sure that goes for my wife !!!!!!! Laurie

Very nice superb work Steve. As we expect from you 😉 every time. Great detail work & superb paint work. A really nice model Steve. Also a great set of photos. Laurie

Thanks Des superb. Very grateful. Problem building the USA model in RAF style. Thanks Laurie

Building the RAF Rescue Seaking used in the Falklands. Yellow was ditched & its colour is replace with a grey. Any help on the colour much appreciated. Built an RN Seaking & that is a slight green colour. But the RAF seems to be a silvery grey. Laurie
