I got some of that AK perfect cleaner from John the other week. Smells a lot like ipa but it's easily the best I've used for water based acrylics.
Anyone need a huge bottle ofsoapy water Iwata Medea cleaner? :tears-of-joy:

Merely prudent purchases Ian!!
The Hasegawa one :smiling:
If I can find a free corner on the bench.
Not tried these paints before, are they any good.
I've not used the real colour range myself but by all accounts they are good.
From my visit to IPMS Lancs swap meet. It is actually quite good little event, lots of bargains.
The NH90 is for me while the Swift is my daughters purchase - she’s a massive Taylor swift fan.

I've used them a couple of times Ian and they spray very nicely. I did have some paint lift when removing masking although that might have been a primer issue, something to bear in mind though..

Evening all,
I have been absent for a little while (needed a break for research) and also waiting for a package so I could drive on with my build. It finally came and it contained no kits,
Needed the Tamiya for the prop, book for the info and the rest is for later on. I guess you can see where this is going........

So the other pack turned up today. This is one of the annoying things with internet shopping. Not being able get all the bits in one place, you end up in another and the art of just buying the bit you needed has always eluded me.
The plan was to buy this.
and build it to display next to the Yamato when she is built.
To get that done I needed some paint as I have never built a Japanese aircraft befor. Well they only had half the colours I needed.
They did though have a set of drill bits for my pin vice drill thingie.
So now I have Two Japanese aircraft. Hmm one for each GB? lol
The Ruffe buy the way although the Yamato kit has a couple to pop on the deck and catapult, the Ship only ever carried Pete's in service. Regardless there is a good chance they will both be put on display with the ship.

On another forum, we had a bit of a discussion about tiny chains for models, and someone organised a group buy to get a bunch of them from Asia, where sets like this seemed to be more easily available than on this side of the world. That still ran into “out of stock” difficulties, until he found a small number (less than there were people interested) and bought them all This saved a lot on shipping, VAT on import, etc.

And the Madness continues!!!...A delivery from the rain forest yesterday,
Really good stuff inside......Looks like I'm going over to the 'Floaty' side.....(calm down Chris!!!)........But with wings though!!! And today's package included more needed scratchy stuff,
And some livestock,
I didn't know dogs were considered livestock, did you??? Then we needed some street with rails,
This kit is not vaccu, but injected molded in plastic and the 2 street sections are really well done. Lastly, I threw this into the fray for free postage. A helluva lot cheaper than a WnW kitset and later on, it will get hacked up a bit anyway,
And that's why I needed the scratchy materials from Evergreen. I seem to be getting hooked on these floaty WWI wing thingy's...........

Hi Rich, I am struggling to be honest. Still building like it's a StuG, but they are hugely different. Starting a new ship build tomorrow on the site so hoping to iron out my numerous mistakes. So watch this space lol. Soon have you sleeping??
Blimey,that bike crew must be MINISCULE,?!!
Done a couple, they build up nicely.
