    In all seriousness, where does said O ring live. I can not see one at all, let alone see if it's damaged...

          Hi both, difficult to say categorically without having it in my hand, but the ones I used in pharmaceuticals usually had an O ring up in the female barrel of the click on part……..assuming yours are like the Bartsharp ones here…
          An airbrush quick disconnect allows you to change airbrushes in a matter of seconds and totally removes the need to unscrew your air hose or having to also fully empty the air reserve in your compressor air tank. 1/8BSP Fittings. FREE UK Postage. I Year Warranty.

          ….it will be inside the push on part with the release toggle. The O ring seals into the “notch” on the male part.

              Hi all

              So another anonymous pre-birthday arrival.....it had looked like this would have to be a joint birthday/christmas present but the committee came through with the funds!!

              A BIG thanks to BattleshipBob for his input on this (no spoilers on this please Bob! )

              The big reveal will be next weekend!

              ATB.

                Found this in a charity shop being annoyed as I gave mine away 4 years ago part started I had a quick look and I seemed to be nicely built so far I got home and had a closer look and lo and behold it's the very same one I gave to charity having got bored with it.
                I only paid £15 it's for charity so I am not that bothered about it.Click image for larger version

                          Not including the cutting matt ,some mr hobby aqueous black surfacer 1000 ,a couple of liquid pigments chaos dirt and light rust dust ,John didn't have any loose (5packs)number 15 blades but price difference was so negligible bought a box of disposables. Then grabbed one of thoes paint brushes where you change the ferrule/ brush once again onec you've got the handle tips are the same price as brushes (well what I want to pay for brushes) and one of them wet trays for paint thinking about time I gave up using a saucer for acrylics.
                          Back in the day I was a member of the Southampton branch of the BMSS progressing from gouache to oils then to drink and woman finally returning to plastic kits but just lately have spent more time than usual browsing the Perry bros web page ,admiring the warhammer stuff sci fi and fantasy with crimbo comming i think some paint sets and figures are on the cards hence the tru reason for the wet pallet and brush and tips ,I've also got the basic set of abtielung 502? oils bought with the appropriate how to book(weathering tonal changing etc)so if the modelling mojo drought continues a change could well be as good as a rest. Oh and ebay struck and robbed me of some funding but once again under twenty a bargin

                              Good haul. Lots to fill up your leisure time there……
                              You can’t go wrong with Perry stuff, by the way, great sculpts. The white metal figures need a bit more clean up than others, but they are worth it. :thumb2:
