That's a novel idea. Kill three birds with one stone.

Cheers,

Hi Dale, welcome back to the game. A nice teeny weeny way to wean yourself back in. Great progress so far

Nothing to see here - just testing if my signature works!
Edit - no it does not!

Thank you John. Much appreciated.

Nice progress Dale. Good call on the paperclip. Two additional tweaks to it. Superglue the clip into the figure, then when he’s painted you can cut off the rest of the paperclip and glue him straight into a mounting hole on the base. Secondly, blu tack the paperclip onto a block of wood and you can hold him for painting without handling the figure itself.

Good call. Love it. Thanks Tim

You don’t need to post a new message to see that — just go to a page with an old post you made (and reload it if necessary). Signatures aren’t saved as part of the message, but tacked on by the forum every time you look at a page, so even old messages always show the current version of the signature, rather than what it was at the time you posted those messages.

Yes, ta. I was trying to get hyperlinks in the signature using HTTP markup, but it's not having it for some reason? Nevermind.

Use BBCode or (much quicker) Markdown

You were lucky no neighbour

First wash in decades! lol. Thanks for the advice on the weird paint issue with the suspension, to those who commented. Following that advice I've given the figures a "wash". I did feel a bit daft standing at the sink, washing the sprue, but I could actually feel the difference afterward, to my surprise. The toothbrush is an old, very soft, first baby toothbrush, and is very gentle. As an added bonus, it glows in the dark, so I've never lost it:

You were lucky no neighbours or friends dropped by for a chat, then try explaining it away....

If I got quite a few sprues to clean I lay them all out in the bath for a soak!

Good idea. Cheers.

But never, ever, ever, ever, do any of that without putting the plug in first….l

......or get in said bath without checking you`ve removed EVERY sprue first:astonished: !!
Excellent progress on the Dingo there Dale.

Good idea. Cheers.

I'd check the sprues before pulling the plug out to make sure nothing fell off!
