    Making aerials from sprues...

    Same as the gents above, I find it much easier to work over a candle so that I have both hands free.

    Tamiya Extra Thin, whats the difference?

    Last time I looked we couldn't get it over here, or had to pay ridiculous shipping costs for importing it. I'll have a look and see if the situation has changed though as it's certainly an option I wanted to persue.

    Tamiya Extra Thin, whats the difference?

    I'm the same, cement is a negligible cost as far as I'm concerned. Sure, there are savings to be made with alternatives, but even I'm not that tight 😂 For example, I buy standard thinner by the 25l barrel for around £50. That would make a TET sized bottle less than a penny, or to be honest...

    Another polishing question.....

    Thanks Tim, and I still do. No rest for the wicked 😂 This Jap import love bus is a perfect example. It's a factory paint job but you can see how shiny the primer is, so the paint has just peeled away in big sheets from the roof, one wing & tailgate, only sticking in certain places where some...

    Another polishing question.....

    I wouldn't mind seeing the video to hear his reasoning behind it but to me it's completely unnecessary, and even detrimental. The main role of a primer is to promote adhesion between the substrate and the following coatings. The waters get muddied with primer surfacers or primer fillers as they...

    Thank you both. Unfortunately not all of the additions have survived paint, but I've made them once so should be able to do them again 😁

    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Gama Goat

    I've done a little more on the base. Shaping the foam more, adding a layer of sculptamold , and splashing on some basic colours. I've staged it here to give you an idea of what I'm working towards - coming over a steep brow, seeing a rock, and steering hard to avoid it (nearside front wheel...

    Another great bike build from you.

    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Gama Goat

    Thanks, and here we have some 😁 I've splashed the main colours on, added the decals that survived my butchery 🙄 and have given it a quick matt varnish to seal them in (I'd highly recommend the SMS stuff if you spray lacquers) I've started a bit of the detail painting but there's more to...

    Another polishing question.....

    There's no need to polish the paint if you are going to clearcoat over it. As long as it is pretty smooth that's fine, it doesn't need to be particularly shiny as your clear will do that job for you, then polish that once fully cured.

    Now that's an ungainly looking vehicle, but as always you've made an amazing job of it.

    Tricky scheme! Looks to have come out great after the touch ups.

    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Gama Goat

    Not much to show but everything has had a squirt of primer. There's still all of the "cargo" to sort out, but I seem to have mislaid a box full of barrels & stowage when I moved from the shed, so I've ordered a few more bits & pieces. I've also made a start on the driver. After altering his...

    Thanks guys. I could see it getting addictive Paul. I've since added some missing shackles and am scouring images for anything else I can add 😁 Whether they survive paint is another thing...

    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Gama Goat

    I'm not normally one for adding details, and there are people here who do it so much better, but I've added a couple of things that I've seen in reference images. A lever for the winch was made using an offcut of PE fret. A couple of (lifting?) rings at the front, and some pipes above the fuel...

    Brilliant! Loads of stuff to catch the eye on that.

    Yes, there's a special login to view the site. John has posted it up in the supporters section at present. I'm not sure if there's a reason for that so obviously I'll respect his choice and not share it here.
