I kid you not I swear blind I saw a Cuirassier charging at me - probably made me jump for the floor. OC. -
Thank you Denis, I am bored and fed up sitting in my chair watching rubbish on tv with my leg up on my stool - thank goodness for our site and the internet. OC.
-
Wonder if the old tooth past on a cloth trick would do (Lou)? OC.
-
Now you got my inquisitive side going EG your plans sound exciting Bro. OC.

Very nice work - the detail in the Alum parts and the contrast with the painted details - first class work. OC.

Thanks Mark, Its bloody annoying - I only went out to a local shop (first time in Two weeks) walking off a path somehow was not concentrating stubbed my foot somehow on the road surface and before I knew were I was I could see the road coming up towards me as I fell on to my hands and knees - hands got gravel guts and my Knees (thankfully I had my trousers on and not my shorts) my hands were bleeding and my right leg felt like it was swelling up, I was able to walk ok without pain. As soon as I got in - trousers came off shorts back on kneess and hands were washed then some frozen things wrapped around my knee to bring the swelling down, I recognized the pain in the inside part of my knee as where I had torn my ligaments before. Just typical. OC.

I know mate - its an old injury from when I was ran into and knocked off my bike by a car - many years ago, it must have weakend my knee and falling on it yesterday just kicked it off again. OC.
-
No work at the table today - I just sat infront of the tv and finsished the night watching Expendables 3 feeling sorry for myself. OC.

Thank you Edward - Im currently sat in the chair frozen towel around my knee and blanket on me as I am cold (bit of shock I guess) I know what I have done as its an old injury torn my right knee ligament again - nothing to be done just rest and gentle exercise. OC.
-
Thanks bro. OC.
-
Just got back in after an adventurous stroll - I had a fall lost my footing and landed on my hands and knees in the road - picked myself up checked the damage - "can still move my legs/knees - check" - "hands bleeding a bit from the gravel" walked the remainder home got in admiral put a couple of plasters on - currently sitting with a freezer bag on my one knee as its a bit swollen and red. Typical first walk out in nearly two weeks and that happens.😒 OC.
-
Thank you kindly. OC.
-
But worry end result might equal - spilled paint over work surface, with my mains operated drill anyway. OC.
-
Yep - hence why I wont wear them - thank you so much for the nice words Denis. OC.
-
I have already got Five pairs of Knitted swimming trunks in the draw.😜 OC.
-
She is busy knitting me a pair of wellington boots for the winter.🤣 OC.
-
Yep, I read about that, any thoughts on mixing - as I have also been using an old brush and stiring the paint like crazy as well as shaking it - kind of spent more time shaking and stiring than actually painting. OC.
-
I think my back up plan is to - paint them/weather them then let them dry for a few days then look at my options - Tamiya Flat coat laquare is not really practical due to the smell, I think its a case of shaking and more shaking. OC.
-
Yep, my arm is now Eight foot long due to tha amount of shaking I have been doing, the funny thing is its flats down any odd bits on flat paint, its like there is something about Vallejo Blue and Flat Red. OC.
-
Yep Vallejo Matt Acrylic Varnish is supposed to do just that, and in fairness with flat paints it dous do the job, but on some shiny paints it just wont dull them no matter how many coats they have had - the blue on one og my figures has now had 6 coats of spaced out Vallejo flat coat - but still has a satin look. OC.
-
I still have a Tamiya rattle can of Clear laquare but I dont want to mix that into the mix as I am trying to keep it all just 100% water based acrylics. OC.
