Thanks Ben and Bill :)ย 

Yes, I've gotten over my 'I am notย worthy' mood, for now. Thanks guys (which, for me, is multi-gender. Gosh, this p.c. is SO difficult!)ย

Nulm oil washed and in with the ClearFix:

ย 

You can't see the windows yet - they're on the other side. The ClearFix droops and then tightens as it dries so it's been rested like that until it dries a bit.

I like this stuff for this sort of job. I follow the instructions on the Humbrol site and it works for me:

ย 

"A cocktail stick is usually the most practical means of application. Run a small drop of Clear fix around the edge of the window then draw across the opening to produce a thin membrane."

ย 

It says drying time is 24 hours, unfortunately. I'll put it to one side.

Hello, did I miss something here that I don't understand? :o

Sorry Benedikt, it was a 1950's and 60's kids TV show called Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men. They were made of flowerpots and spoke gibberish, hence "flobalob". Their friend was a big weed, "weeb", the only recognizable sound they ever made.

I'm sure you can find it on you tube, it won't need translating!

Something like that? :hmmm:

Hopefully not for children then.

Oh Ian, look what you started!ย 

Understandable reaction from Bill and then comments from Benedikt, Simon, Dennis and shortCummins :)ย 

ย 

Me? i've been getting stuff ready for some internals:

You might notice the little dots on the part trees to show which bits need blastingย and that I've stuck the resin seats in.

You might also have noticed that I've (finally) changed the booth lining.

I took out the filter to find that I've run out of spares and, rather than pay ยฃ7 for a new one, found some material on eBay that's ยฃ7.49 plus ยฃ5 postage for a 1m x 1m sheet.

I reckon I can get 12 filters out of that.

Result!

Steady on there old chap, clean floor to the spray booth!!!

A very good idea mate, the amount of crap that accumulates there is unreal.

Category 1 dust storm material.

I am going to cut down a couple of well used cutting mats ( just got new ones), and use them to line the booth.

NOT!

Oh, I think he does. ย He called me โ€œSteveโ€ (albeit while thanking me) on the previous page, so he deserves to get a bit of proper Brummagem ire. ย

Ha, Ian that sounds bit like:

"Helga wer? Helga wie? Diesen Namen hรถrt ich nie!..." (EAV_ German NDW music group: "Kรผss die Hand, schรถne Frau")

Helga who? Helga what? I never heard about that name before!....

I cannot explain that in another way. Cheers

I like a clean lining from time to time Simon - I useย it to check the flow on the AB and that's not as easy when the paper's multi-coloured! :)ย

Spray booth! I sprayed some Extreme Metal this afternoon and just stood by the open door, I was wearing a mask though, and made sure that the dogs were not around.

Try that here today John and you'd have lost the model and your hair! :)ย

That turrent went from being a nightmare to becoming a dream!

Yep, eventually one coat again, butย  I would dropย  Erdal Glรคnzer/Future /Johnsns Clearvax twiceย  on or so.ย  With a cocktail stick, no brush for these little things The macro shows, nothing is wrong on that and it shows everything there.

Cheers

Edited by bbudde
Ced, please test clear fix with future/Erdal Glรคnzer before trying it on that one please. Cheers

This ventral venture verifies your creative instincts Ced.ย
