Old Collingwood Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share #2376 Posted September 24, 2023 Hi all, I decided I am going to give myself a good kick and have a go at this build, I have quite a few figures that are painted and weathered and need flat top coating, I have done away with my airbrush system for many reasons, but I can still brush paint the flat top coat as I still have some of it left in the bottle, they will then be put away to fully harden before I remove the bases. I have been missing working on this but I will be honest I kind of lost my mojo a bit and after packing everything away I could not be bothered to get it all out again, but I will just get out what I need to do these figures.

CDW Posted September 26, 2023 Share #2393 Posted September 26, 2023 My mother was born a Caruthers. Her mother was a Polk. Both our Polk and Caruthers families have frequent gatherings, we call them reunions, where all the cousins come together to share dinner together, great conversation, and just keeping up with how we are doing. It helps that most of us still live in or near Florida. I must say that I often doubt whether the younger generations will continue our traditions. I hope they will. We have taught our children to do this.

Old Collingwood Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share #2397 Posted September 28, 2023 Just noticed after giving them some time to dry - they will need another brush over with my Mig Flat Acylic varnish, airbrusing was better and a one off application, brushing it on seams not to cover aswel and still leave a few shiny surfaces, think the brush may move some of the varnish off areas and not cover them so well.
