          This has gone on the Shelf of Doom

          Almost finished....gave it a coat of matt varnish and got weird reaction......whole things got a crackle finish!

          So it will be going in the stripper to take it back to plastic then re do it

          But i need a change so on the shelf it goes

            Varnish can so often be problematic.

          Its weird how that happens Paul. Same thing happened to me the other day while working on a small part for the Junkers. Put a second coat of paint on with a brush and it reacted with the first coat and just bubbled up. I could not understand why. Fortunately it was a small part but it had to be redone. Shame about this one.
