Well, Wikipedia being what it is and looking both ways at the same time, also says that they belong to the arachnid family; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly

I knew a man with a wooden leg named Peter. I don't know what he called the other leg.

A daddy long legs is an arachnid.

Not at -25c it's not. In fact, it's rather sticky.

The reason that I asked was because my son-in-law worked on there for a couple of years as an instrument mech. John.

Not the same, I know, but I've had broken sleep for the last couple of weeks due to sciatica. I'm seeing my rheumatologist next week and she's going to stick a dirty great needle into my back. Oh deep joy!

Nice. I always think that the decals are the first stage of bringing it to life. Unconnected question for you. Are you on the Bleo Holm? John.

Been there and done that for a few years. Spent quite a long time hauling hazchems down to Italy through the Frejus tunnel with Frans Maas. Happy days. John.

Now I can't verify this, as SWMBO read it online, but according to what she read, a bunch from the anti meat offshoot were caught having their lunch in....... wait for it......Mcdonalds!! IF, it's true, there's a slight whiff of hypocrisy there. John.

Well, in this day and age with people applying washes and filters, you need something that will not be attacked by the spirit base. I've not had a lot of luck with acrylic varnishes, mainly because the thinners used tended to clog my airbrush. But I've just tried two new (to me) items and have been very pleased with the results. For gloss vanish I used Vellejo acrylic gloss varnish in an aerosol can. It sprays a little thick, but ti's OK. At least the finish was very glossy. For the matt, I used Alclad ll Klear Kote flat with very good results. It's flat with just a hint of a sheen. I've also got Alclad's gloss coat but I haven't tried that yet. The beauty of the Alclad product is that you don't have to thin it for spraying. HTH's. John.

Two other items that I would recommend are a decent gloss varnish and a decent matt varnish. John.

That's a mean looking beast and some nice detail work. John.
