Gettin' desperate!
Knowing there's a wealth of knowledge on here I hope someone can help. I've just bought a 2007 Mercedes A class to replace my 2008 E class CDI in the hope of reducing my car expenses. I've been insuring through a pay per mile broker who unfortunately can't renew my policy as they're changing... -

Painting wheels
No. Not the one about how to paint tyres! Nothing spectacular, but how many times have you had to paint the two sides of a wheel in two sessions 'cos you need to put it down when you've painted one side? Wrap a bit of tape around the wheel: Grab the tape as close to the wheel as you can get...- Gern

Quinta Studios 3D decals
Hi guys. Does anyone know of a UK supplier for Quinta 3D decals? I placed an order with them direct last month and I'm having major problems finding out where my order has got to. Although Quinta acknowledge payment and have given me an order number and tracking number, all I've managed to... -

Build videos.
I spend lots of time looking at build videos in the hope of picking up tips to help with my modelling and find information about how well a kit builds. Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up of looking at videos where only 20% of the time is spent on the kit build and all the rest is devoted to... -

Gallery Models?
Hi guys. I picked up the 1/48 Trumpeter H-34 helicopter at the show on Sunday. I need some masks for the windows (they have round corners which makes it awkward using tape) and found a Eduard set. It's described as a mask set for a Gallery Models kit so I had a look on Scalemates. It's the... -

Tamiya acrylic vs. Humbrol Gloss varnish.
Hi guys, back again. I brush painted some Tamiya acrylics onto some small parts on Friday night. I've tried to brush on a coat of Humbrol gloss varnish this morning and it's fetching all the paint off. Are they incompatible or is there something else going on? Both the paint and varnish are...- Gern

Is that this one Rick? If so, how did you fit the engine? I had to cut the top off mine!- Gern

No air!
Hi guys. Just a quickie. I have the new 2024 Ultra A/B. I've fitted it with a 0.4 needle and nozzle with a pinch tip. I tried spraying with it yesterday and got no air. I checked the hose fitting and trigger which seem to work fine. I cleaned out both the nozzle and pinch tip with a reamer but... -

Levelling Thinner
Trying to get hold of some Mr Color Levelling Thinner 400. Anyone know why there doesn't seem to be any available anywhere in the UK? Please tell me it's not import restrictions 'cos it's flammable! If so, why don't they ban oil tankers and LPG container ships? -

Quiz anyone?
I take part in a regular quiz along with my ex and my two daughters. Every week the quizmaster randomly selects one team to pick a specialised round for the following week. As it happened, last week it was our turn to pick. None of the girls could pick a topic so I did. My choice - pretty... -

Does anyone know if the Cosford Model show will be happening this year? I've looked at the RAF Cosford Museum events list and there's nothing shown.- Gern

Off topic
Another can of worms for us to play with. Part of what makes this such an enjoyable place for me to be is the chit chat. It ranges from useful information that may be only vaguely connected to a thread to total lunacy - with lots of funny stuff scattered about. Sad I know, but I even read all... -

What's gone wrong now?
Used my new (used) H&S Infinity yesterday. I sprayed Tamiya XF1 flat white thinned with about 40% MLT as a primer. Today I sprayed a top coat of Tamiya X7 gloss red thinned once more with about 40% MLT. Looks nice and shiny but how come the surface looks like it's been pebble dashed?- Gern
