I use cleaning solutions from Mr Muscle and Motorbike cleaner, MUC OFF.

I like using bone china thimbles because of the semi transparent walls. Mix the paint, hold thimble to light source and touch said wall with mixing stick ( in my case a coffee mixing stick) to see how opaque the mixture is. Bingo! Von Buckles

Hi Andy, Tip no1: I use a plain old china thimbles for mixing my paint. ebay or charity shops always provides me with enough stock and for not a lot in the money department. Tip No2: To help keep the thimble vertical when full of paint I use the centres of cello-tape with plastic card glued to the base. Works a charm! Hope this helps. Cheers, Bob

If you can stand me droning on in a monotone voice, take a look at the two vids I whacked on youtube showing the stripping and cleaning of my H&S Infinity 2in1. It ain't Xfactor, but you might learn something... Then again, you might not. Happy days. Bob Von Strippedandreadyforpaint

Hi John, Beautifully done Thanks for sharing Bob

pictures of the coming releases are up on Hyperscale. Happy days. Von Buckle

Pete, Good luck old bean I will be keeping a watchful eye on your progress. Von Buckle

I like it! I like it A LOT! One of the best models I've seen in my 43 years on planet earth. Bob Von Buckle

I buy direct from NZ and have it shipped to a friend in the USA. He flies into the UK fairly often and hands over the goodies. No tax, VAT and royal mail robbery. Marvellous! All I need to do is learn how to build models again. Von Buckle

I will meet you over the Brick factory @ 5.30 am. You will hear the hiss of water escaping from your gravity tank as the bullets hit home... Look for me.. I will come at you from a great height and with the sun at my back. You will not fail to miss my all pink SE5a with Turquoise streamers. Look for my limp leaf manoeuvre... It's a classic.

FIGHT!!!! haha

I too would recommend 2.5mm cuts Von Buckle

Hi JP, Yes, the tubing comes as a separate item. As the lads have already mentioned you can either get me to cut it for your or buy some Griffon 0.5 micro tube and cut your own. I'm sorry if I failed to make it clear enough on my website that both items are indeed, separate. Cheers, Bob

Superb! Thanks for the info. Cheers, Bob

Fine work, indeed! Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers, Von Bobski

Pete, Nice work thus far. Can the exhaust stack be bought over here in blighty? Or does one need to go direct? Nice to see the mojo has been reawakened. Von Bobski

Looking over some of the builds on his website I would have to agree with you, John. Superb don't do the lad justice. I wish I had 1/10th of his ability - accurate or no. Von Buckling 4 England

Beautiful looking Alb.DIII Well done! Von buckle

echo everything that has already been written X 10 Lovely build and paintwork. Von Buckle

Will it clean my Ring? Silly Boy Lemon

I took the long way round method. 2 Pfalz DIIIa delivered to a buddy in the USA. He will be bringing them over in early feb on his next visit. No VAT and no customs to worry about. Happy days! When I get a chance to build the bloody thing is another matter Bob

Looks like the wood grain was put in with a colour pencil. Love those Bavarian Birds. Well done! Bob

Run the top under hot running water for 30 seconds. Has never failed me yet. Bob

Tea pot and tea... real tea leaves. Yum No need for any more models - ain't enough time left to build what I got let alone add to it. Happy days. Assam Von Buckles
