pockets Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I asked because brass can be a nightmare to paint , used etch primer in the end, seems to have gone on ok. Edited February 20, 2020 by pockets 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 First Class work there. It really came to life once the silver paint went on. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished kit pictures. The Daleks scared the crap out of me as a kid but not nearly as much as the Cybermen! You couldn't keep me away from the TV when the theme music started though. Happy days.
