Told cats, only problem they are all kipping lol

Wouldn’t worry about the cats Bob, they can’t read, and they don’t understand English…..so they go where they want…..well, that’s what they tell us…..

I've been lucky several times in the past.... But only with reference books, not kits

Today the post room has been bust receiving parcels. 2 for me, others for the house.


Yes at long last a move to lacquer's. Having read what other found I decided to take a shot. We shall see in due course.:nerd:

You may have bought some of the books I’ve passed on over the years Andy :tongue-out3:

Been lucky, the ladies at the cat rescue charity we help ring me if kits turn up, most are part built or missing parts or cr*p but I have had a few goodies! I always give a good price and recently gave them some vinyl albums to sell and military books.

Last delivery from Padua: resin wheels and some paints (a special offer with a 25% rebate) from various brands



and thinners are never enough.
Now it's time to resume Centauro build.

Looking good Andy. What are the scale seven acrylics like to use?

I'll test them as I never used that brand before. The 25% rebate was too good not to give them a try and I was looking for a gold and some leather colour.
Elven gold, which I tried on a pair of 54mm epaulettes, brushes well and dries rapidly; brush required a thorough cleansing so my educated guess, for the moment, is that the pigment density is rather high and adherence too. I'll get more impressions after some more extended tests.
I'll let you know as trials go on.

They are a full cockpit instrument panel for my hellcat some instruments for my sea venom and a masking set for my Victor.

They're gel based so dry a bit slower and can be wet blended. You can also thin them to glazes using just water. They're actually quite nice to use.

[Mini Me]

Cleaned up on Evilbay!!........all from the same vendor. None of this stuff is in production and most of it has been out of production for some time. Was blown away when he accepted my insane offer. Average price per item delivered....$17.25 USD.

My meagre Telford haul. The MRP paint is for my 1/24 Hellcat winter project. I’ve never used it before so I’m interested to see if the hype lives up to the results.
