    Hi Steve
    So glad the compressor problem is sorted - well done Si. Just watched the video he put you on to - good stuff.
    As for the hairspray technique for chipping I cannot get it to work for me. The results are just so variable and inconsistent. I do find these work ....

    I think the secret with these is to work slowly and with only a damp brush and also to work a small area at a time. Just do a little and then move on. You can always come back to an area and chip more.
    Model looking nicely aged - as I'm sure you are!!

      Hi Everyone

      JR has been hassling encouraging me to use these as well Jim. For the limited amount of time I am going to do HS chipping I will stick with the Mrs's hairspray. I think this detailing malarkey is ageing me too quickly:smiling5:

          I can appreciate why your starting to loose patience after seeing all the tweaks youโ€™ve made...I donโ€™t know how Mr T keeps his sanity!
          Onwards and upwards sir:smiling4:

            Hi Steve
            Looks truly amazing. You seem to have rather enjoyed this. Certainly earned the right to say "enough is enough".

              Nice one Steve.
              Top class build.
              I know I keep going on about it, ...... But you would make great use of the method, think of all the scratches that you could do, let alone chipping.
              As for ageing, that is the only thing that I can match you on .:hungry::tongue-out3::smiling2::smiling2:

                    Hi Everyone

                    Many thanks for the support Scottie. How is your build doing??
                    Mr T has a damn sight more patience than I do Si:smiling3:
                    It was great how it took on a world of its own Jim. I just went with it and its not turned out too bad:thumb2::thumb2:
                    What are you doing out of bed JR?? Matron will not be happy. Now go suck on a lemon:smiling5:
                    Glad you like it Greg. Its a shame I will spoil it now with paint:smiling2::smiling:
                    Hammer and a chisel if its my brain you are working on:smiling2: Thanks for the support Peter:thumb2:

                      Watching one of Dr. Jones builds for me is like looking over the shoulder of a famous swiss watchmaker and having someone like Vincent van Gogh come behind them to paint... crazy Attention to detail with knock your socks off painting to go with itโ€ฆ Just simply amazing to watch and enjoy โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

                          Hi Steve
                          I thought that it would be a shame to hide all the scratching with paint. WRONG! It looks even superber and impressiver.

                                Terrific descriptive words "superber and impressiver" Jim. More superber and impressiver work below:thumb2::smiling2:
                                Thanks Scottie. Hopefully you will be able to get some wet stuff on your build soon
