Need to wait till it stops raining outside so I can prime/paint the spues - then I can start building, so tempted to have a go at modeling the interior but "Boy" is it complex - OC. Pic off the net.

Look what arrived today - the lamp looks like just what I need, the other one was just too small and not enough light, this one also plugs into the mains - the other one was a rechargable with very liitle run time. OC.

I dont really know much about resins and this will sound neive but could the resin coats have not been applied in thinner coats with a wide brush but far more of them over the top of the previous ones after thorough hardening between layers - would that not work? OC.

Ita amazing to think of small cara as being family suitable for long trips - my grandad used to own a 1931 Austin Seven and used to cram Four of them and cases and the dog and cat and go 150miles to the seaside for a holiday in it one of these - Not my pic. OC.

I always build things with a relavence to us the Chally is no different, another of the places where we used to live - we were about 3 miles away form a MOD firing range where Challengers and other field pieces used to do live firing, we would often hear them quite clear the Challys destinctive "snap" sound as it fired, also sometimes they would be driven past us on the roadway on either Scamell or those other more modern transporters - what a fantastic site over 100 tons tank/transporter combined. OC.

Now that would have made some history/future dio almost like a Doctor Who episode where Wellington brought an ultra modern over sized tank back from the future and drove it down the valley firing at all the french canons, can you imagine the looks on thier faces....... OC.

My idea is to either use one of my plastic clips or just hold the sprue with a throw away glove then spray away, might try to rig my hairdryer up on an extension leed then force dry the sprues before they can be put in the box, the idea is - any tough ups should be minimal and not on the surface areas, also all the join areas will be carefuly scraped back before assembling. OC.

My trouble is I am not going into the field of spraying equipment (just wont pay me to do that) so all large painting needs to be done using Tamiya Rattle cans, to do that (because of the fumes being dangerous to the admiral) I have to do it outside on our tiny patio with the back door closed, this means it has to be painted quickly without any equipment - tables etc, just held in the hand and sprayed then put inside a box with lid to take indoors. OC.
