Young Rossgo has gone very quiet, I hope he's not had his life upset somehow by this pandemic situation.?
Hi - no just wanted a break to be honest so went quiet for a little while. Thank you for the concern.

The BF109 looks like it's coming on great.

I've been doing some hobbying whilst at home. Will post from my phone see if I can get some pics up.

I think you asked what methods I used for painting. All my work (apart from the priming done via aerosol can) is hand brushed. I do own an airbrush but not had chance to set it up and experiment with it.

It's the aging that makes for great-looking models like that. It's also about the time where my patience runs out.

D6 - jeez for hand painting they are amazing. Great attention to detail and fantastic looking models. They look a bit 'Fifth element' with Bruce Willis! Surprised you haven't tried out the airbrush, I'm still getting used to mine but does make a great way of spraying however only good for blocks of colour really, it's tough to get details done with it at my level at least so for details I use hand painting too.

Had a good chat today with a local pet shop about selling some of the spiders I'm breeding. As I'm classed as a breeder supplying the pet shop he needs to do an inspection. That'll be fun (lol)
