Will have to replace that awful generator belt

Ken,
just soak it in hot water, then let it cool & dry hanging up, that should take any twist out of it

Always nice to watch something different being built. You're making a great job of it Ken

Hi all well I had a cunningly clever plan for the pin stripes on the wheels, turned out it was neither cunning nor cleve.

I thought I would get some green insulating tape cut thin strips off and stick them on (turns out its almost impossible to cut thin enough strips consistently and even when you do its incredibly stretchy and shrinks back to size withing about 10 seconds of sticking it. So back to hand painting I don't like to think how many hours of painting and repainting have gone into what I've got done here (and im not even half way there) and im not anything like happy with it.

When I did this in my teens I remember being really chuffed with the finish I achieved then, I don't think I will ever be chuffed with the finish I achieve now.

Ken, what about one of those 'Sharpie' coloured pens? I use them for all sorts of painting. Should work a treat for this application. Just re- paint the yellow and away you go with the pen.....Job done in no time at all. :thumb2:

I thought sharpies bled after a while.

[spanner570]

I haven't come across that whilst I've been using them.
Perhaps a coat of clear varnish after applying the pen colour? I don't know really, just something that's come to mind whilst I'm typing.....

Anyone else had this problem, or can help Ken further?

[Guest]

Thanks for taking the time mate

Ken, if you can find Pilot or Uni Paint Markers, they're acrylic paint, and certainly don't bleed. You can get them with tips as fine as 0.8 mm.

Hi all well I've ordered some paint pens but till they arrive this is what I've got ( if they look better I may well redo what I've done now.
