The MAFVA Nationals show at the same venue is also very good, very fittingly its on June 6th in 2027 As an aside the Burgess Hall...

    Brampton tomorrow (27th) - anyone going?

    There is a public car park about half a mile away at West St PE27 5PP and its free on Sundays. Burgess Hall shares its parking with the leisure centre next door which gets quite busy on Sundays

    Why don't all models come with a masking set?

    My wife has a Brother ScanNCut machine which she uses to make masks for her Linocut printing. Also happens to work very nicely with Tamiya masking sheets for my modelling mask purposes Either scan in from a supplied template or trace the parts and then as the name suggests scan and cut. Can also...

    Clearing varnish through AB?

    If you use lacquer thinner it might be a good idea to check the seals afterwards, its quite potent stuff. I only use acrylic varnish, but find for larger areas a bigger needle size works better for me.

    GB idea

    Only Tamiya kit I have in my to do section is a 1966 VW Beetle. Don't want to start that yet so I'll see if there is something else around that might appeal.

    Paint spreadsheet

    I do have a very simple spreadsheet for Paints, not that I could make a complicated one anyway.

    Model makes.

    It just occurred to me since I returned to this hobby about five years ago I haven't built an Airfix kit. So the last one I made would have been about fifty years ago with stringy glue and paint in little bottles. So my question is how do they compare these days with the usual well respected...

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    My stash, if you can call it lhat? Might go mad and add a seventh before the current model is finished.

    A question for you all if I may

    It's actually a supercharged PVA, dries fairly quickly with a strong bond. I use it to hold small parts in situ because its tacky.

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    Like most hobbies , it doesn't matter if the money you spend doesn't have an adverse effect on anything or anyone else. I know of people who have spent way beyond their means on photography equipment. Constantly buying and then selling to pay off some of the credit card debt they have accrued...
