    Repainting over lacquered part.

    Having painted and lacquered a model pickup truck bed I want to change the colour, is it OK to respray the new colour over the part, or does it need to be taken back to original plastic then primed? Andy.

    Another problem.

    When I opened the packet with the fuel tubing, springs and bolts or screws or whatever the correct name for them is I noticed that one of bolts is slightly bent and the head is missing. The instructions say it is 2mm x 31mm, does anyone know where I can get a replacement as it is needed along...

    Decal problem.

    Any thoughts on what to do with decals that will not stick on the surface of a model? Andy.

    Magnifier?

    I really feel the need for a head mounted magnifier as age catches up with the eyesight, looking for something that does not cost a fortune but will do the job for occasional use so any reccomendations chaps? Andy.

    1/32 Aoshima Mitsubishi Fuso tipper truck.

    Just awaiting a mucky scene to park it in. Andy.

    1/9 Protar Ducati 916 racing.

    I think this will be an interesting model to build. Sprues. The detail is very good and only the odd bit of flash. Decals are Cartograph and there is a little bag with cables, springs and screws but I forgot to photograph them. And lastly the chain, and you guys think tracks are bad...

    Aoshima Mitsubishi Fuso tipper truck.

    Spue shots. I think this kit was made for the Japanese market as everything except the part numbers is in Japanese. The mouldings seem good with almost no flash, a choice of either chrome wheels or plain plastic to paint in your chosen colours and what I think is a really nice touch is the...

    Protar kits.

    A mate of mine has asked me to build a kit for him, the kit in question is a 1/9 scale Protar Ducati 916 motorcycle. I know nothing about Protar kits and I was wondering as he has had it untouched in the box for 20 years is it worth more in the box than built. He bought it on a whim, looked in...

    Masking around window seals.

    As per the title, probably a bit of a newbie question but I am wondering what is the best method/type of masking tape to mask around windows to paint the black seals around the glass. I have been trying to figure this out but have not manged to get anything that works for me. At the moment I am...

    1/35 Hasegawa Hitachi Zaxis 135 us excavator.

    I now tend to shy away from things with tracks, but I could not resist this model as in my earlier days I spent a few years driving construction equipment. I will be building the model fitted with a bucket as that crusher looks a bit naff. Some sprue shots. I really should have taken some...

    1/24 Italeri Peterbilt 378.

    I am calling this one finished now. I quite enjoyed this larger build, now all I need is somewhere to keep the thing. No doubt Lee Drennen will spot the mistake. ;) Andy.

    Compressor problem..............solved.

    Last week my compressor decided it would not work below 20PSI, by that I mean it just stopped running if I turned the pressure down. As it was still under guarantee I emailed Bartsharp and explained the problem and got a very quick reply from them asking for a bit more information. They then...

    1/24 Italeri Peterbilt 378.

    Now for something a bit easier to handle. Sprue shots. Quite a lot of chrome there so we will see how that goes as I intend to do an OTB job, just as soon as I decide on a colour for it. Andy.

    HobbyBoss 1/35 Gaz AAA cargo truck.

    I am calling this one done now. No proper weathering on this as I would probably have broken bits off it, quite happy to see the back of it if I am honest. Andy.

    HobbyBoss 1/35 Gaz AAA cargo truck.

    I thought this would give me a rest from tiny parts, wrong! there are even smaller bits in this box that on the Gecko Bedford and I am sure the people that design these kits have a warped sense of humour. However, we shall soldier on and I have also disregarded the build sequence to enable...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I got some one shot black primer last week and today I started to prime the Flak gun. All went well for about a minute then it started to splutter a bit and stopped spraying altogether. I thought it was just tip drying so gave the tip a wipe and it seemed OK but only for a few seconds. Having...

    HobbyBoss 1/35 Gaz AAA cargo truck.

    I figured that as I am going to be using a lot of black paint I may as well build the chassis for this model. Sprue shots. Looks like I have given myself another model with lots of small bits, will I ever learn? Answers on a packet of asprin please. ;) Andy.

    Gecko 1/35 Bedford MWC.

    Finally got this model finished and I am pleased it is not now going to keep haunting me. No weathering on this as it is so fragile the if you look at it the wrong way bits fall off, well hardly, but the less handling the better. Many thanks to Andy (Paintguy) for donating this model to me...

    1/18 Merit German Flak 36 88mm Anti-Aircraft Gun

    I needed a little diversion from the Gecko Bedford as trying to fit the transparencies and the roof is trying my patience, so time for something a wee bit bigger. I think this is big enough. Despite what is says on the box it would seem to be a Merit kit. Sprue shots, I had to lay them out on...

    1/35 Miniart Lanz Bulldog tractor.

    Another fiddly, fragile model done. I really must get a better system for taking pictures to do better justice to my models. Andy.
