Vallejo works Ok on AZ plastic!

Is Mister Color acrylic? If so I always use a "primer" of very thin enamel, whatever the plastic.

I'm nearing the end of the builds and masking off markings and stuff and the tape is pulling off paint and primer and that is after I've taken a lot of the stickiness off the tape.

Don't they? I've experienced a few decalsasters in my time with them.

You lucky man...

Actually it's trebled as I've only finished 3 models so far this year.

Replacement due! Happy trip!

And I just booked a flight home for next wednesday!

Good stuff Pete, enjoy.

You are supposed to cascade such knowledge to your peer group you know...

Well now I'm one step away from being Kylie's Mum's BFF I have to be a careful.

Sticks all moved, 5 hours hard labour. I wonder if my paint is dry yet?

Glad I now have central heating......

I feel your pain Duncan.

Oh I have central heating too but 2 tonnes of sticks (already cut and chopped) for the wood burner for free was too good to miss. The local Council planning office insists all rural new builds have an alternate source of heating as well as the central heating. The Owner can rip it out once the building is signed off if they like but there's nothing quite like a real fire AFAIC.

Best had, that way I'll get my Phantom finished.

You too? I caught some nasty chest cold when my counts were down after chemo. I've had it for a week now.

I blame the weather over here, one day it's way below freezing, the next it's wet. I hope you shake off the bug soon Bill.

Ye Lubber!

Welcome home.

Cheers Pete

Here's a hint; German jet.

Starfighter?

Was Horst Bucholtz in West Side Story?

It is.

Ah that's better. Now to ruin it again with a second colour!

Masking and yet more masking, Zorro where are you now?

Letting our grass grow out a bit after summer here, our lawn dies and I don't feel like mowing dirt.

There's always one on every block

Eh? Do you live next door to my Dad?

Let me know when you get rich enough to need a social media manager. I know a guy.

Let me know when I get 'rich' enough to be paid!

Thanks Nobby

Good luck. ...I know how that feels! .

Bloomin' sore!

That's always a good sign, look forward to seeing what results from your endevours, I take it you are conveniently forgetting the list of other tasks that will be waiting for your arrival home?

I've already forgotten all the mundane "to do" stuff and the pile of unopened mail can wait too.

Glad you had a good day mate, thanks very much for the kits

Thanks Stew, I look forward to watching the WIPs and seeing the RFIs.

Fog stopped play!

Pity you didn't make it Duncan but can understand why - it was thick fog in places as I drove in last night so sure it was fully worse down the coast than inland.

I got a few miles but it was a real pea soup job so decided discretion was required and turned back, see you for the December meeting hopefully.

Isn't tidying up the modelling space flying in the face of Nature?

decal scissors ? ..that's a bit posh isn't it?

The tidying was forced upon me by the senior tidier. The decal scissors weren't posh, just the normal solid silver in a velvet pouch kind that everyone has!
