Latest Acquisitions (2020)

[Steve Brodie]

Been thinking on how to display my Wellington bust. I looked at wooden plinths, but I wanted something plain, and in a neutral colour, so the bust draws the attention, not the base! - anyway postie delivered these a moment ago.......................[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1113697[/ATTACH]

Solid resin plinths, ready to be drilled & sprayed. I sourced them from Model Display Products in Newport, Gwent. Reasonable price, fast service - well worth a look!

Yep, use a lot of their bases, quick blast with Tamiya Grey primer and ready to be painted whatever colour you want.

On Alistair's Saddam's Brolly thread and on my thread asking for PE bending advice Simon T suggested that embossing tools could be useful.

I'll see if they work for curving the PE seats on my 88mm gun.

Always one to try out something new, I have just ordered one of these from Amazonia.



Looks like it could be fun. I will blog my exploits when it comes.

Idea for spraying sadly no cake

[Guest]

Tools from the cake shop.
The best excuse for cake I ever heard.

What purpose do the knife and fork serve in your trusty spray booth? Pray tell.

Yes, not sure I can cope with all those stages :smiling:

Actually, getting rid of the heavy seams on the vinyl shell and casing and filling the sink mark on the styrene base cap to get a smooth finish will probably be the main challenge, closely followed by trying to get a realistic paint finish of course
