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... -

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

Filling gaps on 3D printed models
I forgot to ask earlier (b****y typical!). I have Vallejo Plastic Putty, Tamiya White and Grey putties, Squadron Green and Milliput. Which one of these would be easiest to use to fill tiny gaps on a 3D printed kit?- Gern

Latest Acquisitions (2023)
Does anyone remember these (posted by Gary MacKenzie): I asked back then if anyone on the forum could print these if I bought the STL files. My luck was in as Neil Merryweather stepped up to the plate and offered to help. After much correspondence from me asking daft questions, Neil finally... -

H&S Ultra problem
I sed my H&S Ultra A/B yesterday with no problems. I broke it down and put it my ultrasonic cleaner (water plus a couple of squirts of hand soap) and ran it through a couple of 3 minute cycles - then promptly forgot about it so it's been sitting in there all night. Just reassembled it and it... -

Outlook my b*m!
Recently swapped to Outlook in Windows 11 'cos I wasn't receiving any emails at all. Now getting emails from everyone except our John at the shop. Every mail he sends me goes straight into the junk folder. I've selected the option which says 'never send this contact to the junk folder' but... -

All shook up......
I bought a Jintai R&D shaker some years ago which I've used regularly with no problems. These are advertised for use in laboratories and dental practices so they're good quality. I had a very quick look on t' net but couldn't find one in the UK. Maybe you would have better luck? -
