    I was just in Sainsbury's, and a lady was giving samples of drinks in these, so I told her I used them for paint so I wouldn't throw the used ones away, at which she offered me a pile of them, unused!

      Look good Jim, ive been using old milk bottle caps, along with any caps that Christine throws away like vinegar tops.
      The down side is the thread stops the flow of paint.

      Going to Sainsburys first thing to see if they have any kind demonstrator ladies , knowing my luck it will be Ebay .:sad:

            Or an artist - I only told her I use them for paint.
            Whittards (the instant tea people) have them too, if you have one of those near you.

                          And these too, more turnbuckles needed for the bi-planes and the saw brush might be a good tool for streaking effects...:thinking:

                            Good one James, you’ll love the flexibility of the camera, and Canons are great to use. I’ve had four over the years :thumb2:
                            Nice haul there Fernando. I’ve done another iteration of the dragon 250, nice kit.
                            Cheers
