    Thinning AK 3rd Gen paint.

    Having heard nice things about these paints, I ordered a couple from John last week. Typical numpty eejit, I forgot to look for thinners. I've got Ultimate and Vallejo thinners, Tamiya X-20A, 99.9% IPA and good old council pop - aka tap water. What's my best option?

    WWII German winter uniform

    Here you go Jim: This is the only picture I found so the evidence is extremely thin. I did see a brief reference to reversible uniforms which were grey one side and white the other but that only referred to Parka type coats. I also saw a reference to the Heer not ordering winter uniforms in...

    WWII German winter uniform

    Hi guys. Can anyone tell me if any WWII German soldiers wore white greatcoats in the winter. I've found just one picture showing this but the site has closed so I can't find any more information.

    MRP lacquer paints

    Had some problems - again- with my Vallejo paints. I've heard good things about MRP lacquer paints, so: Any issues with A/B painting such as pressure, thinning (if they need it, what with?), tip dry? What about painting with hairy sticks? What to use to clean A/Bs and hairy sticks? Where to...

    It was just a matter of time until ...

    Have you found over the last few years that young folk are really struggling with day-to-day tasks because they're trying to do them one-handed? That's because they are physically incapable of putting down their mobile phones. I saw the most ridiculous cure for that affliction earlier today. It...

    Customer service my a**e!

    Some of you may remember the problems I had with Virgin some time ago. They increased the price of my services from £50 to almost £80. Not happy with that I spent three days trying to contact them with no success. I finally got fed up and changed to Sky. I did manage to get hold of Virgin on...

    Operation M. The Great Work Has Begun!

    For those not 'in the know' as they say, I had a plan to rid the world of the scourge of Marmite. I realised my original plan to send stocks of M into space via rocket would not work and I outlined my revised plan briefly here a couple of weeks ago...

    A question of scale.

    I've been looking into some small scale stuff and have an issue with the quoted scales. I know HO scale is 1/87 and OO scale is 1/76 and most railway stuff is a combination of the two - I believe trains and rolling stock are 1/87 but the track width is actually 1/76. Am I right in that? My...

    Canopy frames

    PJ is working on a Revell 1/48 Ju52. I got him to have a go at painting the canopy frames and I gotta say I am impressed with this - especially as it was done freehand with no masking and no clean-up.

    Micro set removing paint

    PJ is trying to decal his Mustang kit. It's been sprayed with VMA Aluminium paint and he tried to fix a decal using Micro set. Good job he was watching what he was doing as the Micro set started to take the paint off. Is this common? If not, does anyone know why it happened?

    PJ's 1/24 Italeri Transit Police Van

    Finito! Didn't fancy leaving the back totally empty so knocked up some seats. I don't know if there were ever any fitted to the real vans, but it wouldn't surprise me. Enjoyable build apart from losing bits of paint and decals (I still had the decals left over from my build so no...

    Help needed to find a thread on the forum.

    A couple of weeks ago - maybe a little more - someone posted a thread and showed a couple of pictures of two very old, scratchbuilt/cardboard ships. Does anyone remember it? If so could you put up a link please?

    Pneumonia? You can keep it!

    Felt absolutely fine the week before last. Pottered about doing all my usual stuff and went to a pub quiz on Thursday. All day Friday I was fine and had an early night (about 0200 Sat am which is early for me). Woke up in the wee small hours of Saturday with violent convulsions, sickness and...
