These are amazing little models, I have one in my collection, built and ready to be painted, but each time I back off and just admire Copper States excellence in producing such fine work.

Impressive yes, but difficult to paint to a decent standard I bet. Just too many bits getting in the way.

Not too good, but possibly too few parts. I’m predominantly a painter and I looked at that and thought how the bleep do I paint the tyre under the rear mudguard behind the chain, the drive belt, the rear frame, and the mudguard itself. Something that good deserves a great paint job, but if it doesn’t disassemble into better subunits I don’t see how you could give it the paint job it deserves.

Yeah. We saw some absolutely amazing figures at Hinckley yesterday. Not sure if they were resin or 3D - but whichever they were, they'd be impossible for any normal mortal to paint.

Well at least it is not 'Lady Jesse' who has been issued at least five times as seperate decals.

That Skyhawk will be fun to paint … Mask along the top and bottom as well as halfway down each side in a straight line, sounds like a great time

Could be a use for all these hook ended nylon brushes we end up with I suppose Mike

A red version of the green one?

I wonder if there are spraying cans for it. I mean, Bill Horan was rumoured to have a spraying can of tartan paint, so there’s probably one for black-and-white too …

:tears-of-joy: I am sure I have a can of the black and white chequer paint somewhere, or was that the after effects of the red wine.... And Bill's 'Military Modelling Masterclass' has been read a few times....

OK - maybe 'track repair crew' - but if they're working like this would they have their helmets on & still be carrying sidearms?

I knew I had a tin of that tartan paint somewhere

but for brush only, adding thinner spoils the effect :tongue-out3:
