I don't do boats,(OK guys... I know it's a SHIP, but couldn't help myself!!:tears-of-joy, but that's a classic one... looks very cool indeed :thumb2:

Brian does boats!!! Not ships!! Ships only while they are on the surface!! Once sunk they become wannabe boats aka submarines!!!

Ordered these about a week and a half ago, and they already arrived yesterday — despite having to come from the UK — and I didn’t get charged import duties! Something went wrong somewhere …

Usual great service from John the spare part that was missing from the Apache box, and he 'persuaded' me to add some items so such a small part wouldnmt get lost on the post.

Well it has finally arrived, I have taken the plunge....

But it will not see the light of day untill after June when I take my sabatical away from armour modelling... I have plenty of armour kits to keep me going and plenty of ideas, but after the Centurion Bridgelayer and now the M109 Doher build is finished I will need to re-charge my batteries, and what better way than to keep building but go for a different subject and reduce the growing stash in the aviation department.

Came across these in the nearly-local art supply store a while ago, and now finally got round to buying them. These are yellow and red that are supposed to actually cover well — the shop had a little display (clearly supplied by the manufacturer, though) showing all of the paints from this range on little squares of canvas that were about two-thirds white and one-third black. Most of the samples have the black showing through pretty obviously, but not these two (and a few others, but I need lemon yellow a lot less than a medium yellow ). I’ll have to try them out to see if they really work that well, though.
