Sigh I can see this is having to go back to the old method and mix them myself sigh, just hope i kept my old notes

"It's a bold thing to say every batch made was correct" especially when made aboard ship, my brother served aboard in the 70s and he told me they used to mix paints if they ran out of a colour and add course sand to deck green paint (survey fleet)(aka the white fleet or buff line). Do you know if the Vallejo Model Color Camouflage for the RN is any good, as I cant use enamel paints any more even wearring a paint sprayers mask dont help.

Jamie how close are the snyder & short colour chips?

reminds me of an artist from Repton, during the WW2 he was a Royal Marine was was Admiral Burrents batman, so was on HMS Edinburgh when lost, he also painted lots of ships in water colours, he showed me 100s of pics he painted. He also told me that they had started to repaint Edinburgh before her last patrol basically the same colours BUT with the addition of an off white, they only had time apply to add 1 area of white which was on the bridge area. I related this info to an "expert" most of you have heard of him likes whiskey and cigars but he did not view it as creditable because it was not from his sources!!.

which are the best acrylics in your op for RN? why? I would use yours but the fumes from enamels makes me quiet ill and yes I use a proper mask and ventilate, if you you made acrylics I would buy yours

personally i use a mini viberator from pound land and a piece of bicycle inner tube , tude over the vib paint tin in innertube clap in a vice jobs done for a £

try wem or peter hall

ISW did/do a Hunt type II

shame 1 of the few pre atomic sources of steel need in scientific instruments
