Isnt it the old saying "Darker - Deeper" in relation to the colour of the sea? looking good - "Carry On" OC.

You did so well to remove those screen marks - she really is starting to look Superb - well worth all the effort and so much honour and respect to all the First Attenders, Hats Off to all who did thier service in these. OC.

I did an experiment (by accident) to test the different hardness of the different vallejo products - in my mixing saucer I use (its a plastic plant one pinched from the garden) anyway after a couple of days I clean it using hot water under the tap and a wire scourer - I found that the vallejo primer really resisitant to clean off and the same with Black and Grey, the Reds and Blues and Brass and Alum colours are more easily removed - so that tells me after a couple of days the primer does need that time to fully harden but when it does its solid same with the Black / Grey. Well thats my science bit out the way. OC.

He is still in hospital being kept in while they access what daily help they can provide when he goes home - thats a good thing - still depends if he wants the help and if he will start ignoring his door again. OC.

Yep I thought of that from day one brother - before doing anything else I thinned the bases they are moulded to, down till they are just thick enough to support them - See "great minds think alike"😉 OC.

Thank you Denis. OC.

Thats what I use on my aircraft models. OC.

Yep I always wanted to build it as a Permanent Dio and not a wargaming set up - hence why Im cutting them off thier bases when I am ready to fix then down with super glue and possibly pins into thier feet, just need to work out the muddy areas. OC.
-
I could do with doing the road last I guess so I could push some of the figures into it a bit - I think (Just guessing here and probably not the way to do it) OC.
-
Do you find you need to give the Vallejo primer a good few days to harden before putting paint layers ontop? I find if it hasn't had enough time its still soft and scrape off with a finger nail. OC.
-
Indeed Ken. OC.
-
Another interesting aspect - I will be taking the bases off the figures so they will be on thier feet, would be good if I could show them slightly bogged down as the ground had been sodden from heavy rain so thier feet would have been partially covered in the soft grounds I would have thought? OC.

My dad used to tell me that test pilots of MB bang seats back then in the Meteor used to grow a few inches then shrink the same amount during firing and coming down in the chute, how true that is Im not too shure - but interesting anyway. OC. -
Certainly going to be uncharted territory for me never done anything like this before. OC.

Thank you kindly Edward. OC.
