some progress on this ,not a real lot,they move slow at the start,
but once the main inde is there,move along a lot quicker,
real hope that I,can get to Nic,this week,as I need to church window,frames,
I have started the stone wall,what I do is tint the plaster,takes a good day to dry,
but saves time on painting,just needs weathering,then once dry,brake it into,
long lengths ,then into shorter slabs of stone,

ta Colin,glad that your liking it so far,
it maybe a factor,in it,I real don't know,I have noticed that a the start of a bottle,even shaking it
some what,I will spray fine,that being the black primer,the gray a whole different story,don,t
know if I,m getting on stock,or heat damaged in the first place off my guys,
but it real takes, the fun out of trying to AB,paint a model,
I have ordered and .5 and waiting on that one to arrive,
I have been thinning it as well,and still,so hard to stray,would have to be 50/50,
it just drives me so mad,and how can you mix to the consistency of milk,when it looks,
like water,
What pressure are you running your compressor at Monica ?I have ordered and .5 and waiting on that one to arrive,
I have been thinning it as well,and still,so hard to stray,would have to be 50/50,
it just drives me so mad,and how can you mix to the consistency of milk,when it looks,
like water,
try between 12 to 25 psi,don,t like making the old girl run to hard for to long,as they get a bit hot,so also run a fan on the compresses as well,
wwell some good news,my .5 showed up this morning so will give that a try new,build,
hoping it will work better,or may have to think about using a different brand of paint,something is different about vallejo,I have noticed any way,
ta Colin do appreciate ,the devil is in trying to get the detail,some what right,so glad your liking it,
ta James sp pleased that your liking this one so far,looking nice monica keep it up
Looking good Moni.
