Picture loading difficulty.
Another method…… Click the picture icon in the reply box, click where it says drop image on the window that opens, navigate to the folder that your image is stored in on your device, then add it. Should work for you👍- Tim Marlow

Airbrush newbie
Try a drop or two of flow improver in the mix bud. I don’t get on well with spraying acrylics either (far prefer spraying Tamiya), but have found flow improver helps when I use acrylic.- Tim Marlow

What to use to hold small parts? eg: clamps, vice, Blu-tack, pegs, etc....
I find blu tac, blocks of wood, and coffee stirrers/cocktail sticks to be the most use for these sorts of jobs. The combination is infinitely adjustable, doesn’t mark the surface, and will hold anything of any shape. I also use empty Tamiya pots as figure holders for some of the little blokes...- Tim Marlow

Soldering advice
Never got on with that stuff either. Mine dried out due to lack of use 😁. My essentials list would include 145 solder, phosphoric acid flux (not the paste stuff, that’s horrible to wash off before painting and can leave burnt crud all over the workpiece), a 15watt Antex iron, an additional...- Tim Marlow

Soldering advice
Well I’ve never used one Bob, so I couldn’t comment. Clean workpieces, correct flux, and good quality low melt solder are all I’ve ever needed. I really don’t see what etch work gains from the temperature control. It’s not heat sensitive electrical components you are joining after all, just...- Tim Marlow

Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby
Not really birding, but nature related nonetheless. Picked up these cuties from our lawn today before cutting the grass. All now safely rehomed. All about six inches long, so are this year’s. Mum is about six foot long and lives behind our greenhouse. Feel quite privileged to have them...- Tim Marlow

Who has the oldest model kit?
This is my boxing of the footbridge. The mouldings dates from 1958, but mine is a little later. These mouldings date from 1957, but mine is a much later Dapol iteration. It’s destined to be a Normandy gaming piece, and will be suitably Frenchified to suit. Lastly, I made this up a few...- Tim Marlow

Which Bronze Green!?!?
Will the real Russian green please stand up….contemporary to Bronze green I think… ….and can it bring the real Field grey with it….. There are simply too many variables to get a truly accurate rendition, and even if you do, it will then change at different times of day and if the sun goes...- Tim Marlow
