    Kaleido part 2 brush painting

    First to carry on from airbrushing Kaleido. The spoons had dried over 24hrs. So did a scratch test, used a cocktail stick and really not surprised that it scratched. No big deal for me anyway. So on to brush painting, read one of those AI reviews and it said that they brush paint like laquers...

    Kaleido paint review using airbrush

    Recently bought a Gaalhier airbrush with a fan cap, to be used on hulls. Very good too! Saw a lot of info about there range of acrylic paints called Kaleido. Apparently they are pre thinned, Non toxic, dont smell but spray like laquers. Hard finish and quick to dry. So thought I would give them...

    Evening the pva will sit between the plastic deck and the adhesive on the wood deck. Seen a good few ship builders using it to stop the deck from rising. So I'll give it a whirl!

    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    Right tad more progress, added some random stained planks. Hopefully you can see them? Biggest problem is getting the drying time right, not enough time and you take it all off or too long and it stays there! Some of the deck has slightly lifted, so with the last wood deck to go on the...

    Hi Jack I ordered bottle holders from them months ago, nothing. Must have sent them over 15 emails, nothing. Got a refund from PayPal. Not sure if they have gone bust but they took my money.

    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    What I have done is to paint a separate plank either with the brown shadow or another with the bluey coloured darkener Also then mixed together, but of course randomly Let it dry then using a brush remove using ( yes) remover. I have been almost dry brushing but next I'll load the brush more

    Pesky dust and blowing it away

    Sorry Jim, forgot to reply. Good idea, biggest problem with ships of course is they tend to be long, especially Hood

    Hi Tim So far ok, will see after its dried. But the lack of instructions is terrible.

    The satin varnish seems to have done a good job of bringing out various shades of brown planks Did make a start at the stern but overdid the bluey shadow. Must have left it dry too long so the remover didn't remove much. One to watch out for. However the instructions, bugger all.
