Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me
Well Pete, your mad idea seems ok! The twin barrelled AA went ok, so onto the single 20mm, did 3 in the same time as the one. Not bad but getting close is problem. But biggest issue is the UV torch time. Decided to go for about 15 secs, seems to set ok. Next is painting, was going to prime...- BattleshipBob

Well finally got one 20mm flak done, phoned the samaritans but they were busy lol. After a bit of thinking I used a small adjustable platform, two lights, one being magnifying and headset and a packet of paracetamol. Mounted on a lollipop stick with blue tac and held with a peg and ordered Ammo...- BattleshipBob

Smallest amount to airbrush
I'm much the same as Jim. I only use laquers and they are buggers to brush, so I do as much as possible with a AB. Waiting to see what the new Gaalhier Omni paints are like. Apparently spray like laquers but no smell and easy to brush, we shall see???- BattleshipBob

Very kind sir, the whole idea is a lot to do, practice build! So the full PE set, metal barrels, wood deck and 3D. Slowly sorting out the faults. I have some very nice and detailed kits, so fun and games ahead lol. To be fair your PE is roughly half the size, you are in my prayers lol.- BattleshipBob

Hi Si, many thanks! I have just removed the single barrelled 20mm guns and the directors for light AA, Night control and search lights. They are small but include the seat for the operator, not just a bit of resin but a detailed seat and clear to see binoculars! The 20mm even has the...- BattleshipBob

Evening Jim, Julie's ok at the moment thanks. Impressed with resin and UV, much better than CA as it doesn't set until you use a UV light- BattleshipBob
