    Hairspray chipping?

    Has anyone used this technique and how reliable is it? I read a lot about it and watched a few videos about it but was wondering if anyone on this forum uses it or could suggest a better alternative? Adrian

    Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper MkVII

    Still got my space head on so I thought I would have a go at this little kit, it looks straight forward enough and so I'll concentrate mainly on weathering and damage. Adrian

    Apollo 11 Saturn V Finished !!!

    Vallejo Satin Varnish?

    Hi all, I picked up some of this to coat my Saturn V with, when I've got it home it says on the side to brush it on, I was wondering if anyone has ever sprayed it? It's pretty thick so would I thin it with water? Thanks in advance Adrian

    Alclad Aqua Gloss?

    I'm just wondering if this would be suitable to go over the Alclad Aluminium coat of paint I have put on my Command module on my Saturn V build? I've used it before but only on the Hot Metal Red colour from Alclad so I don't know how it would react with a metallic finish. Thanks in advance Adrian

    How long!?

    Let me first say I'm not in any way having a go at John or the shop, I know it's all to do with new postal rules but.... I placed an order for some paints on Saturday, on Monday I had a notification that they were dispatched via Hermes, yet I'm still here waiting. According to the tracking site...

    Dragon's 1:72nd Saturn V Apollo 11

    What have I let myself in for! To say its a big kit is an understatement, I've wanted a Saturn model for a few years now and glad I waited for this one, although there is a lot of discussion on other forums about the inaccuracies I'll be building this straight out of the box, I plan to work on...

    1:48th Figure sleeve patches?

    Is there such a thing as decals for 1:48th figure sleeve patches? I've done a search and can find relevant ones for 1:35th but I can't find ones for 1:48th. I need them for the figures I'm making for my D-Day dio I'm aiming to have about 20 Airbourne troops painted. Any help or advice would be...

    Decal Nightmares

    I build my models, paint them the best I can then I come to the decals,,,,,,,again I'm working with a Monogram kit and the first decal I try to apply completely breaks up. I use a small one to see how things go, but know more than likely I will have to spray the decal sheet to even attempt to...

    Another D-Day thread :) ( Stripes )

    As I was looking through information on applying my D-day stripes onto my C-47 I saw something that really made me sit up. With regards to which aircraft had to apply the stripe pattern there is a section on the document that lists exemptions, could anyone shed some light on it for me please...

    Cosford Airshow, my disaster

    Raised Panel Lines?

    I need to put some raised panel lines back onto a model I'm building, this is new to me as I'm normally scribing them in not raising them. The kit is a 1:48th A-10, after gluing the fuselage together and sanding down the top spine I need to redo some of the lines, so how do I do it? Thanks in...

    50g???

    I need to put 50g of weight into the forward section of a new build, but have no way of measuring how much this is I don't have any scales able to pick up 50g. Should I just put as much plastacine in as possible? I don't have any lead fishing weights at hand as there are no local fishing shops...

    Ju-52/3m Completed

    Well I finally got round to finishing my JU-52, although it was an old kit the general build was pretty good, the main issue I had was the decals. The original ones were water damaged so I ordered a new set, these however seemed to have very little adhesion when applied. Thanks to the help and...
