    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    Sprue goo?

    Didn't mention what filler i use at the moment. Creative materials, like the way it can be removed with a damp cotton bud. But always interested in different methods / ideas. Biggest area i use it for is around the prop shafts etc

    Me again, brush painting PE

    Hi Jim, I did use that in prep and was wondering after John's replie that I could just paint it on the patch. I'll give it a go as all the build is one big practice anyway and the ship will be thrown out

    Sprue goo?

    One of my 'watch this space experiments' is sprue goo. Looks easy enough to make but, how long does it last in a bottle, or is it easier to make it in small portions? Anybody had experience of sprue goo? Ta bob

    Pesky dust and blowing it away

    Hi Tim I wash the filters too and have ordered 3 new ones as the others are in a sorry state lol. I hoover the booth as well. Do you just use water with the J cloth? Thinking of buying a Benchvent booth for the long awaited room, 95cm wide so it will take virtually all 1 350 and you can get a...

    Pesky dust and blowing it away

    I think the biggest problem is the room is built inside the garage, we all know that garages are a huge dust and general crap centre, and no matter what I do, spiders etc get in, so I regularly hoover. But its a constant battle. I do use the kits box to store the hull and the superstructure bits...

    The attic fleet stands about 40 mainly 1 350 and 6 1 200, inc 2 x pontos sets. Did sell 10 last yr. 2 of them will no doubt be replaced when Very Fire release Kongo and Nagato. Will sell a few more this yr, inc the Border yamato. Biggest problem is what to build next. I look at the stash and...
