Primer for enamels?

[Modler bob]

If it helps any, my go to primer is usually Halfords plastic primer or tamiya's own primer

Do Halfords sell the small tin's of enamel, if not where's the best place to get some?

Halfords only tend to sell the large cans of primer, the Tamiya primer i tend to order on line or if they have any left my local hobby shop..

Local Model Shop!!!!!!!! Since Beatties (many will remember them) went belly up after buying out just about every LMS in the UK left a gaping hole, and in turn another company Model Zone that belonged to Amerang set up a chain that also went bust.
Cherish your LMS if you find one who in most cases are just hanging in there by the skin of their teeth. They used to be like little regular meeting places for local modellers as well as a shop.
Primers, paints, tools, kits plus the good staff knowledge of modellers needs all under one roof.
Now sadly most have long gone.

Where Tim?
Anywhere near Portsmouth you might know of?

[Tim Marlow]

Depends which side……if you are on the west side, Salisbury isn’t too far to go. The LHS there is (or was, not been in for a few years since I moved further out west) decent.

[Modler bob]

I guess I'm more south east.
But I will have a search for a shop close ish to me.
Cheers Tim
Ps, what the eather like down your way now?

[Tim Marlow]

Cloudy….and it’s coming your way Bob LOL…..no rain yet, but my RA is starting to flare so the pressure is dropping as well.

Tim, luckily I still do have a few LMS close to where I live in Bedfordshire, but have seen quite a number I used to frequent disappear over the years.
So, no I don't have to move west.
Used to visit Yeovil a lot. Bob Banfield's Modelkits shop at the top of town in Hendford has long gone, and so has Hendford Halt the little model railway shop on the road out to West Coker where my late mother in law lived.
