Thanks Edward! As tempting as that is😄 I've got an airfix starter kit of an Aston Martin DB5 that my best man gave me on my 40th which was nearly 3 years ago... Probably should start that first! Kit isn't brilliant but it will be a good way to get back into doing car kits.

Ps: can't get too hooked on plastic kits Le Mirage will end up being exactly that!

I should add it's not finished yet. C
A few patches to tidy up and I also need to try and accentuate the panel lines on the main body. I do have a dark grey wash but it doesn't appear to flow in the lines easily. Might be worth getting Tamiya panel Line.

Hi all
Shipyard is in the garage and it being a bit too cold to go in there during the winter I thought I'd do something a bit different:
Also had a case of builders block with Le Mirage... And also really wanted to finish a kit in less than 20 years! I've been watching a few (lots!😄) Of plasmo's videos to get some tips. I've not got too many progress pics but here there are
As you can see I've gone for a greyer colour than the box art which just looks too much like blue to me.
Question for the more experienced plastic modellers out there: what kind of spray varnish (out of rattle can or with brush) is the best? I've tried humbrol acrylic varnish out of spray can but it comes out far too quickly and also appears to make the paint crack...
Thanks for looking in

Nice looking Tie Nick...
My suggestion is Testors dull coat or gloss coat for clear finishes..... It is lacquer and stinks the place up, but it's the best as far as I'm concerned...

Progress is glacial. The ratlines for the mainmast shrouds are now done and some progress has been made on the mizzen ratlines. My computer went berserk with an update of Windows 10 which didn't help. Here are the port ratlines for the mainmast. Fortunately the ones on the other side are exactly the same.
