Good evening friends :smiling2:
A WET , yes wet afternoon and evening here in Lincs , been a steady rain.

Cave wise I've been painting the light skin tones on my merry crew, nothing to show, but you can imagine. But I have some photos of the kit. One a set of welding gear, where I had two attempts at making a set of hoses and a torch .The first was using solder , it formed well , but after attempting to wrap some tape around the two " hoses " and painting, it looked far too heavy.Attempt No 2 saw Nylon thread used and it worked perfectly. I cut 2 short lengths of wire , glued them side by side and stuck a round bolt head as the control. Then CA the thread to the gas bottles and to the torch. One thing I notice the valves are to wrong way up, dam , but not going to change them after all this work .They still look ok to me.

Now for the tools, great fun painting these, back and forward from one to another , prim , top coat . dry brush. Took nearly a full day. Ladders and table were done in OIL yes STEVE Oil . Still a bit tacky after about 3 days.

The tools.

Then there were Jerry Cans, some small gas bottles. They all need a little more weathering , not too much.

Thanks for looking in, comments more than welcome.

John.

Nice one, I'm a good mind to edit it......:smiling4: But you have a point there, I should get some engine oil and let that drip down the drum. Be back in a min...:tongue-out3:
