Cheers Marco ole chap  . Haven't been doing much lately, mostly because I have to reinstall everything I had on my pc after the last feckin Windows 10 update. I can only advise you all to get an external hard-drive, copy all that is on your pc (all programms like Norton, Microsoft office, Printer, Camera etc etc.) to it. Then make sure you keep doing this monthly so that everything is up to date. At least that way all you have do is copy back to the pc. Anyway I got some time on the office today, I used six decals the 4 screens and the two small side panels, the rest was painted.

Many thanks chaps  . Marco your humor is getting as bad as the rest of the gang here  . Okay, I have now painted and stripped the bang seats 4 times  , yes I said 4 times. I just cannot get them to look right  . So this is priming part 5, I just hope to heck I can get this time round  .

Ian cheers mucker  . The problem seems to be the brush painting on the seats cushions  , I just can't get a good cover with a brush. This time I shall AB the little toads  . Cheers Marco, you can take 5 minutes outside as the weather is turning horrible here

Cheers Marco, you can take 5 minutes outside as the weather is turning horrible here  I like using Vallejo to brush paint seats now. Lays down much better than other paints with a brush. I am sure you will hammer them into submission. Regards, Ian

Here is horrible too! 36,4 Celsius during the winter. I won't get my coat because if I do it I'll probably die!  About the paints, Ian is correct. VA is the best to hand paint. Great cover and no brush marks.

Ian, Marco, those are the paints I have tried to use, and Tamiya, and Mr Hobby, and Italeri Acrylics  . I shall give them a Vallejo airbrush this time, maybe that'll do it

Lots of thin layers allowing drying time between works a treat and leaves no brush stroke. In my opinion you can only have brush strokes if the paint is to thick. In the figure painting world it seems that less is more, and the thin layer approach is the way to go.
Give it a go on a test item and see how you get on.
