Any one used "Fed - Wrecks" OC.

Looking forward to your build - I remember being a keen lad getting my dad to help me build my first model ships - sometimes he got a bit to excited and stuck into it - especially with the bigger builds. OC.

Typical - why do companies mess us around - does nothing for their ratings. OC.

AmaZing work with all those tiny little parts bet your admiral will be looking at you strange when you glance across cockeyed. OC.

Evening all, after spending another afternoon in the yard (camera in hand scanner on) I decided to prime the happy little KGL group, stariaght forward (does as it says on the tin) just a couple of brushed on coats with my "go to" Vallejo Acrylic Black then dried off with the HD (hairdryer) then I thought it would be an idea to drag out some of the first made figures and brush over a couple of coats of my new falt coat - its Migs Ultra Flat Acrylic Varnish, this stuff really works its the best I have used so far that has to be brushed on, trick is to only put a small amount on in coats dried between coats. So here is a pic showing the primed KGL along with the now very flat varnished KGL line. Oh and a pic of the varnish. OC.

Goeing to be an interesting build brother. OC.

I have had a look at another way I could place the farm on my board when it comes with the case - instead of placing it flat against the back with the roadway along the front, I could place it at a slight angle - that way I could place some of the figures around the farm not just the front and left sort of like this - what do you think - OC.

Thanks Mark. OC.

Evening all, I have done a lot of thinking and researching today to work out my display case strategy, after talking to the admiral we both decided it would be better (safer) if I went for a plastic display case instead of glass, Two things biased this decision firstly I will be taking the case of the base quite a lot while building the dio, and secondly the weight and fragile risk of the case getting smashed and tiny fragments going into the carpet and cutting our dogs paws. I did a lot of looking around and I found a few companies who specialize in Acrylic cases with a base, I found the cheapest (ish) one and dialled in my size requirements go the size I wanted (I went a wee bit wider to allow me to build the whole farm complex without cutting the back row of buildings off) the price surprised me a bit but guess I am getting a good bit of kit that will be lighter and less risk of getting smashed/damaged - just need to wait for it to arrive in a few weeks. OC.

Welcome to the club, I do not have a lot of knowledge of that kit - but without a doubt you will get some very good advice here. OC.

That was a Brilliant (how to make rope) explanation EJ - very well laid out and explained - just shows how a genuine looking rope can be made in different thicknesses with a little time. OC.
-
Thank you kindly for saying that, I think the admiral was also slightly worried about it being made from glass - as the case would be moved a fair bit with me working on the base and the worry of it getting smahed. OC.
-
Evening all, I have had a strange development with my display case situation - the maker of the case came out this evening after a Three hour drive, he took the broken case away with him and was due back over in the morning with it repaired at his cost, after talking to the admiral we decided instead it would be best if we cancelled the case order but let the maker keep all the money I paid him as compensation for all he had done - so I contacted him and said the same thing, we just feel to guilty having him do all this including the time and travel for him and the general hassle all round, its been a bit of an ordeal if I'm honest. OC.

Hi there, warm welcome from UK - you will fit in fine - just watch out for food topics - we love our food here (winky winky face) OC.

I like the Mig Ammo washes but when I opened them I got quite a shock as they are quite smelly even if being brushed on, I was concerend about the admiral noticing the smell as they are a bit on the Turps type of smell. OC.
